OpenAI Raises $11 Billion in Funding at $1.25 Trillion Valuation
OpenAI has secured $11 billion in the initial phase of a funding round that values the company at $1.25 trillion. This round, scaled back from an earlier $30 billion target amid cooling investor sentiment and AI market volatility, may eventually total up to $20 billion. Investors include Coatue Management, T. Rowe Price, SoftBank, Sequoia Capital, Founders Fund, and Andreessen Horowitz. OpenAI is also engaging with banks to attract additional investors, while declining to comment publicly on the funding details.
