OpenAI Reaches $1.25 Trillion Valuation as Anthropic IPO Sets Benchmark

At a glance

OpenAI raised $11 billion in a funding round that values it at $1.25 trillion. The round is not yet closed, and more funding is being pursued. At the same time, rival Anthropic is preparing for a stock market listing, with its valuation mentioned at a minimum of $1.1 trillion.

Key points

1. 1

   OpenAI's valuation is about 47% higher than in March.

2. 2

   In September it aimed for an even higher valuation, but the final figure was closer to what investors offered.

3. 3

   Anthropic will start its listing process next week and aims to go public before Thanksgiving.

4. 4

   Altman cited safety concerns and the public mood as reasons for not rushing to go public.

Why it matters

Private companies do not have their value set by the stock market, so Anthropic's listing price could become a reference point for valuing AI companies.
