OpenAI洽谈300亿美元融资轮 估值达1.4万亿美元

根据TechCrunch AI报道，OpenAI正与投资者进行融资谈判，拟融资至少300亿美元，融资后估值约为1.4万亿美元1。这一融前轮融资将作为公司IPO前的过渡融资1。

OpenAI此前于2024年3月完成了融资规模为122亿美元的融资轮，当时估值为8520亿美元1。自7月以来，公司运营收入增长了70%，8月时年化运营收入已达400亿美元1。CEO Sam Altman已排除公司在2026年公开上市的可能性1，以优先考虑AI安全发展。

OpenAI is in discussions with investors to secure at least $30 billion in a pre-IPO funding round, valuing the company at approximately $1.4 trillion, according to Bloomberg reporting on Tuesday 1. The funding would serve as a bridge round before a potential public offering, though CEO Sam Altman has ruled out taking the company public in 2026, prioritizing AI safety considerations instead 1.

The company has demonstrated significant revenue growth, with annualized operating revenue reaching $400 billion as of August, representing a 70 percent increase since July 1. This latest financing round marks a substantial increase from OpenAI's previous funding: in March 2024, the company raised $12.2 billion at a valuation of approximately $852 billion 1. On the importance of safety in AI development, Altman stated, "I think it is unacceptable to be taking like a 10% chance of killing everybody by the end of the decade" 1.
