OpenAI reportedly planning $30 billion capital raise at $1.25 trillion valuation

OpenAI is reportedly working on a new $30 billion capital raise, a move that would bring the company’s valuation to $1.25 trillion. This significant financial milestone is being pursued ahead of a potential initial public offering (IPO).

If the company successfully secures this valuation, it would establish a new record, making OpenAI the most highly valued private company in history.
