OpenAI Eyes $1.4 Trillion Valuation in New Funding

This article first appeared on GuruFocus. Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT) backed OpenAI is discussing a new funding round of at least $30 billion at a roughly $1.4 trillion valuation, according to Bloomberg, potentially giving the ChatGPT maker another massive capital cushion as it delays an IPO and spends heavily to expand computing infrastructure. The proposed valuation would also underscore how aggressively private investors are still pricing leading AI companies despite questions around cash burn, infrastructure costs and the eventual economics of frontier models.
