OpenAI has reportedly lowered the amount it aims to raise in its latest investment round from $30 billion to approximately $20 billion, according to a Financial Times report cited by Reuters.
The report also places the proposed company valuation at about $1.25 trillion, down from an earlier reported target of $1.4 trillion. The change comes as investors reassess the high costs of building artificial-intelligence infrastructure.
These figures are reported fundraising targets, not a completed transaction or an official company announcement. Investor commitments and final terms could change before any deal closes.
Why it matters: The reported revision suggests that even high-profile AI companies face growing pressure to justify the scale of capital required for model training and computing capacity.
