This follows a Bloomberg report a month earlier that pegged the raise at a $1.4 trillion valuation. Terms are still being negotiated and could change, CNBC and Bloomberg report. The UAE funding could also come with a deal for more OpenAI computing capacity. A valuation over $1 trillion would make OpenAI the most valued private company ever, raising the bar for its pending IPO, and its last raise in March valued it at $852 billion post-money. Anthropic, which raised $65 billion at a $965 billion valuation in May, is reportedly seeking $1.5 to $2 trillion for its own IPO. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
