OpenAI Valued at $1.25 Trillion, Anthropic Prepares for IPO

Anthropic has filed its S-1 for an IPO, while OpenAI delays its own listing.

Additional investments are being considered, although the initial goals were more ambitious.

Anthropic prepares for its IPO, OpenAI postpones its own

Anthropic filed its S-1 last week, marking the first step towards an IPO. Earlier this year, Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI, indicated that the company was delaying its own IPO until it could ensure greater safety for its models. He did not specify a timeline and suggested it would be unfortunate for the world if OpenAI waited too long to go public.

OpenAI reaches a valuation of $1.25 trillion

OpenAI is now valued at $1.25 trillion after a new funding round that raised $11 billion, according to sources. In March, the company had already raised $122 billion for a valuation of $852 billion. At this level, OpenAI ranks among the most valuable companies in the world.

Funding goals and market context

It is reported that OpenAI is pursuing discussions for additional funding, which could bring the total raised to $20 billion. The company initially aimed for up to $30 billion and a valuation of $1.4 trillion. These ambitions preceded the decline in tech valuations and the results of the midterm elections, which marked a shift in public opinion towards AI companies and data center projects. It is noted that this information corroborates recent reports from other sources.
