OpenAI 据报下调新一轮融资目标至 200 亿美元
OpenAI reportedly lowers funding target for new round
AI 导读
据多家媒体报道，OpenAI 新一轮融资目标已从此前报道的 300 亿美元下调至 200 亿美元，且首次交割金额预计更低。
摘要与补充说明
英国《金融时报》称本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把总额补足到 200 亿美元；《华尔街日报》跟进报道称公司目前已锁定 110 亿美元，部分大型投资者反应“冷淡”。此前报道的估值口径从 1.4 万亿美元降至 1.25 万亿美元，本轮融资发生在计划 IPO 之前。报道将融资遇冷部分归因于时机不佳，华尔街投资者对 AI 基础设施的巨额支出趋于谨慎，引发科技股大幅抛售；Anthropic 的 IPO 计划也可能面临挑战。

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.
