OpenAI aims to raise at least $30 billion from investors in a new funding round after postponing its IPO plans, according to people familiar with the matter. The company is seeking a valuation of about $1.4 trillion (excluding the funds raised), and the financing discussions are still at an early stage and may change. The latest funding round is intended to serve as a bridge round, providing the company with additional funds in place of an IPO while OpenAI focuses on addressing AI safety concerns. This could push its valuation back above the latest private-market valuation of longtime rival Anthropic. Earlier reports said OpenAI had considered a new funding round at a $1.2 trillion valuation.
