- OpenAI investors have approached the company about a new funding round, with FT reporting a potential $1.2 trillion valuation and NYT placing the figure at $1.5 trillion, ahead of a possible IPO.
- A reported OpenAI valuation at $1.2 trillion is framed in coverage as a potential lift for infrastructure partners Oracle and CoreWeave from current AI sector gloom.
Why it matters: The $300 billion gap between FT's $1.2 trillion and NYT's $1.5 trillion figures indicates the round's terms are still fluid, and a closing at either level would anchor a new AI-sector valuation benchmark with direct read-through to infrastructure providers Oracle and CoreWeave, who count OpenAI as a marquee customer.
