OpenAI is considering another private funding round before an IPO at a valuation of about $1.5tn, roughly double its most recent $730bn private valuation, according to reports. Investors have recently floated investing at a $1.2tn valuation, but OpenAI believes it should be valued at least $1.5tn. The company has held early discussions with large investors after completing a secondary share sale of about $7bn in August and raising $122bn in March.
