OpenAI eyes $1.2 trillion valuation in fresh funding round as IPO slips to 2027

AI could be heading for another major valuation jump even as the ChatGPT maker puts its stock market debut on hold.

The company is in early discussions with investors about a potential new funding round that could value it at around $1.2 trillion, the Financial Times reported. The talks are in the early stages and could still change, but the reported figure would represent a significant increase over OpenAI’s most recent valuation.
