OpenAI Accelerates $30 Billion Fundraising Ahead of Anthropic's IPO
OpenAI is accelerating a $30 billion funding round, potentially valuing the company above $1.4 trillion, ahead of rival Anthropic's expected IPO in mid-November. Existing investors like SoftBank and MGX are in talks to participate. OpenAI aims to secure commitments before Anthropic's public listing, which could prompt investor comparisons amid cautious market conditions. The company highlights revenue growth following its GPT-6 Astra release, seeking to attract capital before investor sentiment shifts.
