OpenAI secured $11 billion in funding at a $1.25 trillion valuation, lower than its initial $1.4 trillion goal, reflecting a cooling AI market despite strong business growth. The round covers about 37% of the original $30 billion target, with SoftBank and Abu Dhabi’s MGX participating. This smaller raise impacts major shareholders like Microsoft and NVIDIA, who rely on OpenAI’s funding for growth and accounting gains. The full funding round could reach $20 billion, with future milestones including NVIDIA’s upcoming earnings report and OpenAI’s continued fundraising progress.
