According to Reuters, citing the latest news from The Information, OpenAI is currently in early discussions with investors to raise hundreds of billions, and even up to 100 billion dollars in funding. If this financing plan is successful, OpenAI's valuation could surge to around 750 billion dollars.

This valuation figure is astonishing, indicating that OpenAI's value has increased by 50% in just two months — in October of this year, when the company's employees sold about 6.6 billion dollars worth of shares, its valuation was approximately 500 billion dollars. Such a massive fundraising demand highlights the continuous demand for computing power in the AI industry, as major tech giants are caught in a frenzied arms race to build "super intelligence" systems.

In addition, due to Microsoft's strong support, OpenAI is also preparing for what could be the largest IPO in history, with an estimated valuation target of 1 trillion dollars, and it is expected to submit an application as early as the second half of 2026. Although companies such as NVIDIA and Oracle have already signed agreements worth billions of dollars with it, investors are still closely watching: whether this huge investment can bring the expected returns before the demand for AI cools down.

Key points:

  • 💰 Valuation surges again: OpenAI plans to raise funds at a valuation of 750 billion dollars, an increase of 50% compared to October.
