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.

Anthropic Presses Ahead With Pre-Thanksgiving IPO at Lower Valuation
Anthropic is pushing ahead with its Nasdaq IPO before Thanksgiving despite a brutal tech selloff that has slashed expectations from $2 trillion to as low as $1.1 trillion. The Claude developer aims to raise $80-100 billion at a $1.25-1.75 trillion valuation, riding $81 billion in annualized revenue. But voter backlash against AI data centers and jittery public markets are testing whether the first pure-play AI IPO can land cleanly.
