OpenAI repotedly in talks to raise $30B round at $1.4T valuation

OpenAI is in talks to raise at least $30 billion in a new funding round at a valuation of $1.4 trillion. This bridge financing follows the company's decision to delay its initial public offering to address AI safety concerns. The round is expected to be the final capital raise before the company makes its public debut, which is now anticipated for 2027. This follows a previous funding event in March where the company raised $122 billion at a valuation of $852 billion.
