OpenAI's new funding round: first tranche of $11 billion received, valuation $1.25 trillion
English text is being prepared.
According to people familiar with the matter, OpenAI has received about $11 billion as the first tranche of its new funding round, valuing the company at $1.25 trillion, with the total amount of this round potentially reaching up to $20 billion. OpenAI initially planned to raise at least $30 billion at a valuation of $1.4 trillion, but scaled back the plan due to the sharp sell-off of AI stocks in public markets; in March of this year, it had raised $122 billion at a valuation of $852 billion. Over the same period, Anthropic's expected IPO valuation also fell from the $2 trillion cited by some investors to $1.5 trillion, with the latest discussion range being $1.2 trillion to $1.3 trillion.

据媒体援引知情人士报道，OpenAI新一轮融资已收到大约110亿美元的首期款项，对公司的估值为1.25万亿美元。
据知情人士透露，截至周五，这笔初始资金已汇入OpenAI账户。本轮融资的剩余部分预计将在未来几周内完成，融资总额最高可能达到200亿美元。
知情人士表示，参与首期融资的投资者包括寇图资本管理和普信集团。本轮融资的其他投资者还包括软银集团、红杉资本、Founders Fund和安德森·霍洛维茨基金。此前有报道称，一个来自阿联酋的投资者财团也参与了本轮融资。
在推迟首次公开招股（IPO）计划后，OpenAI已与投资者就大规模融资进行了一个多月的谈判。
此前有报道称，OpenAI最初计划以1.4万亿美元的估值融资至少300亿美元。但随着AI股在公开市场遭遇大幅抛售，该公司随后缩减了融资计划。
OpenAI曾在今年3月的一轮融资中以8520亿美元的估值筹集了1220亿美元。
OpenAI劲敌、Claude开发商Anthropic的IPO估值预期也大打折扣。仅仅在一个月前，部分投资者还认为， Anthropic上市时能冲击2万亿美元市值。近日有报道称，其IPO估值缩水至1.5万亿美元。而如今，在正式路演即将开始之际，部分潜在买家的心理价位进一步下降。
周五的最新报道显示，最新估值讨论发生在美国中期选举引发美股重挫之后。据知情人士透露，一些潜在投资方认为Anthropic的估值应在1.2 万亿美元至1.3万亿美元之间。
