OpenAI Raises $11B at $1.25T Valuation, Falls Far Short of $30B Target
OpenAI closed the first $11 billion of a funding round that values the company at $1.25 trillion — less than half the $30 billion it originally targeted. The scaled-back raise, confirmed by CFO Sarah Friar, comes as AI stocks tumbled following the midterm elections and investor appetite for big-ticket AI bets shows signs of cooling. For builders and developers relying on OpenAI's platform, the funding gap raises questions about the pace of future model releases and infrastructure investment.
