OpenAI Valuation Reaches $852 Billion After Massive Funding Round

OpenAI raised $122 billion in its latest funding round, the artificial intelligence giant announced Tuesday, bringing its post-money valuation to $852 billion. KEY FACTS The funding round was backed by OpenAI partners such as Amazon, Nvidia, Microsoft and SoftBank, according to the announcement. The latest valuation for the company comes a little more than a month after it announced $110 billion in funding at a $730 billion valuation. OpenAI opened this month’s funding round to individual investors, who raised over $3 billion. BIG NUMBER $2 billion. That is how much money OpenAI is raking in every month, according to Tuesday’s announcement. Last year, it made $13.1 billion in revenue. SURPRISING FACT OpenAI is not yet profitable despite its strong revenue numbers. The company is burning money on operating costs driven by expenditures from training AI models and creating infrastructure. OpenAI will spend half a trillion dollars by 2030 if it maintains its current pace, according to The Guardian. KEY BACKGROUND OpenAI is leading the funding race against its competitors by hundreds of billions of dollars. Anthropic announced in January it raised $25 billion, bringing its valuation to $350 billion. Elon Musk’s xAI reached a $230 billion valuation that same month, though its acquisition of SpaceX brought the number up to $250 billion. OpenAI is on its way to reaching valuations held by tech giants like Meta, which boasted a $1.4 trillion market capitalization as of Tuesday. OpenAI is preparing for an initial public offering by the end of 2026, according to CNBC, which reported on an all-hands meeting in which company officials discussed taking ChatGPT from a casual chatbot for users to a more serious AI assistant used for carrying out tasks.
