what happened
OpenAI has closed an $11B funding round that lifted the valuation of the company behind ChatGPT to $1.25 trillion. Seeking Alpha, citing Bloomberg, reports the figures. The AI lab had originally been seeking $30 billion or more.
According to the report, which cites a person familiar with the matter, the rest of the round could expand to $20 billion and be completed in the coming weeks.
why it matters
A round of this size shows how much capital investors are willing to put into artificial intelligence companies, even in private markets. For stock markets it signals appetite for the technology sector, but the deal is not traded on an exchange and does not directly move share prices. Further details on the round's completion will help gauge how durable this demand is.
