OpenAI in trattativa con gli investitori per la vendita delle azioni a una valutazione di 500 mil...

OpenAI is in preliminary talks with investors about a potential secondary share sale that could value the company at around $500 billion, with current and former employees selling shares. Thrive Capital, an existing investor, may lead the round. The company’s valuation has surged since the launch of ChatGPT in 2022, reaching $300 billion after a $40 billion funding round earlier this year. OpenAI recently released new open‑weight language models and now has nearly 700 million weekly active ChatGPT users. Meanwhile, rival Anthropic is seeking $3–5 billion in funding at a $170 billion valuation, according to CNBC. OpenAI’s annual recurring revenue is expected to exceed $20 billion by year‑end.
