OpenAI is reportedly in talks to raise $30 billion in a new funding round that would value the company at $1.4 trillion, according to TechCrunch.
The round is anticipated to be OpenAI's last private fundraise before it goes public, with the company's planned initial public offering having been delayed to 2027.
Scale of the round
If completed as reported, the deal would rank among the largest private funding rounds ever raised by a technology company, underscoring the scale of investor interest in OpenAI ahead of an eventual public listing.
The report did not name the specific investors involved in the talks or specify final terms, and any deal would remain subject to negotiation and completion.
OpenAI has repeatedly raised large sums at escalating valuations in recent years as demand for its artificial intelligence products has grown. Further details on the structure of the round were not immediately available.
