Get smart on it
OpenAI is in talks to raise at least $30 billion at a valuation of roughly $1.4 trillion, according to Bloomberg. This funding round would serve as a bridge to the company's anticipated public market debut, which CEO Sam Altman has delayed to prioritize AI safety. The company's run-rate revenue has jumped 70% since July, reaching $40 billion in August, making investors eager to fund the ChatGPT maker before its IPO.
