Black Friday sales are coming! OpenAI (@OpenAI) has secured $11 billion in a new round of financing, valuing the company at $1.25 trillion. The original plan was to raise over $30 billion based on a $1.4 trillion valuation. Anthropic (@AnthropicAI)'s IPO valuation may also be slashed from $2 trillion to $1.2 trillion. One private placement is offering discounts, another IPO is offering discounts; It seems the recent US stock market crash has shaken everyone's confidence. This is a good thing, because the lower the offering price, the greater the potential for growth after listing!
