On September 3, 2025, artificial intelligence giant OpenAI announced that it would acquire product-testing Statsig in an all-stock transaction. Based on OpenAI's current valuation of 300 billion US dollars (about 2.14 trillion yuan), the transaction amount is approximately 1.1 billion US dollars (about 78.48 billion yuan). This marks one of the largest acquisition deals in OpenAI's history since its inception.

Statsig was founded in 2021 and focuses on providing software developers with feature-testing and launch-flagging tools, supporting A / B testing, feature flagging, and real-time decision-making. The company completed a 100-million-US-dollar financing round earlier this year, with a valuation reaching 1.1 billion US dollars. Statsig's services have been used by several technology companies, including OpenAI, Eventbrite Inc., and SoundCloud Ltd.

After the acquisition, Statsig's employees will join OpenAI but will continue to operate independently from the company's Seattle office. Statsig founder and CEO Vijaye Raji will take on the role of OpenAI's head of applied technology, responsible for driving the company's development in artificial intelligence products. He will lead the product engineering work for ChatGPT and the code-generating tool Codex, covering core systems and the product line, including infrastructure.

Strategic Significance of the Acquisition

1.Technical and Product Aspects

Statsig's product-testing tools will help OpenAI and its customers better develop and deploy AI applications. By integrating Statsig's technology, OpenAI can further optimize its product-development process, enhance product stability and reliability, and thus provide users with higher-quality services.

2.Market and Competitive Aspects

This acquisition will help OpenAI consolidate its leading position in the artificial intelligence market. As AI technology develops rapidly, market competition is becoming increasingly fierce. By acquiring Statsig, OpenAI has not only gained its advanced technology and professional team but also expanded its own technology stack and service capabilities to better meet the growing customer base's demand for AI tools.

3.Talent and Team Aspects

Vijaye Raji's joining will bring valuable leadership and expertise to OpenAI. His rich experience in product engineering and technology development will help OpenAI accelerate product development and technological innovation. In addition, the members of Statsig's team will inject new vitality and creativity into OpenAI, promoting the company's development.

Acquisition Strategy and Future Outlook

OpenAI has been more active in large-scale acquisitions this year. Previously, the company completed a 6.5-billion-US-dollar all-stock acquisition of an AI-device start-up co-founded by former Apple design chief Jony Ive. In addition, OpenAI once attempted to acquire AI-programming start-up Windsurf for about 3 billion US dollars, but the deal eventually fell through. These acquisition moves have been made possible by the rapid growth of OpenAI's valuation. In March, the company announced the completion of a 40-billion-US-dollar financing round, with a valuation reaching 300 billion US dollars.

This acquisition of Statsig is an important step in OpenAI's strategic layout. By integrating Statsig's technology and team, OpenAI will be able to further enhance its competitiveness in the field of artificial intelligence. In the future, OpenAI is expected to achieve greater breakthroughs in product development, technological innovation, and market expansion, bringing more high-quality products and services to users. At the same time, with the continuous progress of AI technology and the expanding range of application scenarios, OpenAI will continue to face new opportunities and challenges. How to maintain a leading position in the fierce market competition will be the key to OpenAI's future development.
