- OpenAI is weighing a new funding round at a valuation of up to $1.5 trillion, with investors having approached the company about the deal.
- Financial Times pegs the potential valuation lower at $1.2 trillion and reports the round would precede an IPO, while Forbes and CNBC cite the higher $1.5 trillion figure.
Why it matters: A funding round at even the lower $1.2 trillion figure would meaningfully reset OpenAI's valuation ahead of a public listing, and the gap between the $1.2 trillion FT figure and the $1.5 trillion Forbes/CNBC figure shows the deal is still loosely defined. Investors approached OpenAI rather than the reverse, signaling sustained buyer appetite at a scale few private companies have ever commanded.
