OpenAI: $11 Billion Raised at a Valuation of $1.25 Trillion

OpenAI has reportedly raised $11 billion in a new funding round, based on a valuation mentioned at $1.25 trillion. This round, which is not yet closed, could reach approximately $20 billion in the coming weeks, according to sources familiar with the matter. This amount remains below the $30 billion target mentioned at the end of September. Meanwhile, potential buyers for Anthropic's IPO are considering a valuation of up to $1.1 trillion, down from the $2 trillion hoped for about a month ago. OpenAI has postponed a planned IPO this year, and expectations are now set for next year.

Anthropic revised by buyers, OpenAI IPO postponed

Potential buyers of shares in Anthropic's IPO believe that the valuation could drop to $1.1 trillion, whereas around $2 trillion was still anticipated a month ago by investors. This contrast comes as OpenAI has delayed its own IPO plans, after suggesting that a listing could occur this year. Expectations now remain for a possible window next year.
