OpenAI 完成 110 亿美元首轮融资，估值 1.25 万亿美元
OpenAI lands an $11 billion funding round, but has to court dentists for more capital
OpenAI 已收到约 110 亿美元新融资，这是其 1.25 万亿美元估值融资轮的首笔款项，资金于周五到账。整轮融资规模可能增至 200 亿美元，剩余部分预计在未来几周到位；OpenAI 最初计划以 1.4 万亿美元估值融资 300 亿美元，在 AI 板块抛售后缩减了规模。
从融资规模缩水和面向个人投资者募资，可以观察当前 AI 融资市场的集中度与压力。
OpenAI has received roughly $11 billion in new funding, the first tranche of a round valuing the company at $1.25 trillion. The money was wired on Friday, Bloomberg reports. The full round could grow to $20 billion, with the rest expected in the coming weeks. OpenAI originally sought $30 billion at a $1.4 trillion valuation but scaled back after an AI-sector selloff. Anthropic's valuation is also under pressure ahead of its planned IPO.
Investors include Coatue Management, T. Rowe Price, SoftBank, Sequoia Capital, Founders Fund, Andreessen Horowitz, and a consortium from the United Arab Emirates. OpenAI is also working with investment banks to bring in wealthy individual investors. If OpenAI is already courting dentists to scrape together more capital, it tells you the AI funding market is either tapped out or too concentrated on OpenAI and Anthropic. Anthropic's massive B2B success with Claude Code is making life even harder for OpenAI.
