OpenAI seeks $30B round ahead of Anthropic's expected IPO
Reuters, cited by r/stocks, reports that OpenAI is racing to secure investor commitments before rival Anthropic's expected public market debut in mid-November, in a round of about $30 billion that could value OpenAI at over $1.4 trillion. The report, attributed to two people familiar with the matter, says SoftBank Group, Abu Dhabi-based MGX and other existing backers are in talks to join. The posts state the acceleration reflects competition for capital and concern about rising interest rates, tech stock volatility and scrutiny of AI valuations.
