OpenAI raises $11 billion at $1.25 trillion valuation in ongoing round
Overview
OpenAI has raised $11 billion in a funding round valuing it at $1.25 trillion, according to Bloomberg.
Bloomberg first reported on November 6 that the $11 billion was a closed first tranche, with investors wiring the cash that day and up to $20 billion expected within weeks. Later reports from TechCrunch and The Verge, both citing Bloomberg, describe the round as not yet closed, with the total potentially reaching about $20 billion.
The later reports say that is short of the $30 billion Bloomberg earlier reported OpenAI was seeking at a $1.4 trillion valuation. The Verge attributes the shortfall to tech stock declines and weaker public support for AI companies in midterm results. Bloomberg's first report and the later reports disagree on whether the $11 billion is closed.
