OpenAI最新的筹资回合并没有完全满足人们的期望
OpenAI此前曾被报道以1.4万亿美元估值的方式筹集了300亿美元,后又以1.25万亿美元估值,领先于计划的IPO. 但"金融时报"周五报道称,公司随后将筹资目标降低至200亿美元,第一个关闭时间预计会更低。
该轮比赛将由来自阿联酋的一组投资者,FT 称领跑。 随后向富人提供零售服务可使总供资额达到200亿美元的目标。
《华尔街日报》的后续报道提供了更多细节,即该公司迄今已获得110亿美元,其筹资工作得到了一些大投资者的“微弱”回应。
TechCrunch联系到OpenAI征求意见。 由于华尔街的投资者对AI的巨额基础设施支出变得十分警惕,导致大量出售技术股票,因此公司所报告的融资挑战部分可以归咎于时机不好。 Anthropic计划IPO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.
