OpenAI 据报将新一轮融资目标下调至 200 亿美元
OpenAI reportedly lowers funding target for new round
据《金融时报》报道，OpenAI 已将新一轮融资目标从此前报道的 300 亿美元下调至 200 亿美元，首次交割金额预计更低。该轮由阿联酋投资方领投，后续面向富裕个人的零售发行可能使总额达到 200 亿美元目标；《华尔街日报》称公司目前已募得 110 亿美元，部分大型投资者反应冷淡。报道将融资遇冷部分归因于时机不佳，华尔街投资者对 AI 基础设施重投入趋于谨慎，引发科技股大幅抛售。

OpenAI’s latest funding round isn’t quite living up to expectations, according to multiple news reports.
OpenAI was previously reported to be raising $30 billion at a $1.4 trillion valuation , and then at a $1.25 trillion valuation , ahead of a planned IPO. But The Financial Times reported Friday that the company has subsequently lowered its funding target to $20 billion, with a first close that’s expected to be even lower than that.
The round will be led by a group of investors from the United Arab Emirates, the FT said. A subsequent retail offering for wealthy individuals could bring the total funding amount to the $20 billion target.
A follow-up story in The Wall Street Journal offered more details, namely that the company has secured $11 billion so far, and that its fundraising efforts had met with a “tepid” response from some large investors.
TechCrunch has reached out to OpenAI for comment. The company’s reported funding challenges could be blamed, in part, on bad timing, as Wall Street investors have become wary of heavy AI infrastructure spending , leading to a major sell off of tech stocks. And Anthropic’s planned IPO could be facing challenges , too.
