OpenAI Explores $30 Billion Funding Round at $1.4 Trillion Valuation
OpenAI is reportedly negotiating a $30 billion pre-IPO funding round at a $1.4 trillion valuation, following a previous $122 billion raise in March. The company aims to delay its IPO until 2027 to prioritize AI safety, despite a 70% revenue increase since July.
The new round is anticipated to be the company's last before its delayed 2027 public debut.
