OpenAI is nearing completion of a funding round of up to $30 billion, with a pre-money valuation of $1.25 trillion
English text is being prepared.
People familiar with the matter said OpenAI has told investors it plans to complete the signing of the financing agreement by the end of next week, with this round raising up to $30 billion at a pre-money valuation of $1.25 trillion, a valuation that does not yet include the new funding. This round is positioned as an opportunistic financing ahead of an IPO; OpenAI has confidentially filed for an IPO, and the chief financial officer previously told employees that the company may go public in 2027. OpenAI is also negotiating a commercial agreement with the UAE side to obtain more computing resources.

知情人士表示，1.25万亿美元的估值尚未计入本轮新融资资金。OpenAI周四已告知投资者，计划在下周末前完成融资协议签署，但最终融资规模仍在确定中。
本轮融资被定位为IPO前的一次机会性融资。OpenAI首席财务官萨拉·弗里亚尔（Sarah Friar）此前曾向员工透露，公司可能于2027年上市。目前，OpenAI已秘密提交IPO申请。
与此同时，OpenAI还在与阿联酋方面谈判一项商业协议，以获得更多计算资源。随着AI业务持续扩张，这项协议有望帮助公司进一步扩大算力供应。
此次融资正值科技股市场波动加剧之际。市场近期对CoreWeave等AI基础设施企业的债务风险愈发担忧，利率上升也引发投资者对未来融资环境的疑虑。与此同时，另一家人工智能公司Anthropic预计也将启动IPO，其上市表现将进一步检验投资者对AI行业的投资意愿。
