OpenAI Seeks at Least $30 Billion in New Funding After Delaying IPO Plans

OpenAI is aiming to raise at least $30 billion in a new private funding round that would value the ChatGPT maker at roughly $1.4 trillion, people familiar with the matter said. The talks would extend the company’s dependence on private capital after Chief Executive Sam Altman said OpenAI would not go public in 2026 while it works through safety and alignment concerns.
