OpenAI Raises About $14.3 Billion at a $1.625 Trillion Valuation

At a glance

OpenAI has received about $11 billion so far in this funding round, based on a pre-money valuation of $1.25 trillion. This is less than the target in early reports. If follow-on investments go through, the total could rise to as much as $20 billion.

Key points

1. 1

   Early reports put the target at more than $30 billion, but the amount actually confirmed is much lower.

2. 2

   Business scale in the third quarter grew 70% from the previous quarter, and enterprise business doubled.

3. 3

   The March round valued the company at $852 billion. This valuation is about 50% higher than that.

4. 4

   NVIDIA's earnings announcement and the result of Anthropic's listing could affect the valuations of both companies.

Why it matters

How fast AI companies raise huge sums and how they are valued shows the direction of the AI industry.
