OpenAI Closes $11 Billion at $1.25 Trillion Pre-Money Valuation

OpenAI closed $11 billion at a $1.25 trillion pre-money valuation, below initial targets. Growth metrics and Microsoft and NVIDIA dependencies remain intact but face tighter private-market pricing. Follow-on funding size and Anthropic’s listing will test whether demand sustains current capital flows.

Two milestones will determine the trajectory. Completion of the second tranche at or near $9 billion and sustained NVIDIA revenue guidance above $108 billion in the third quarter will confirm demand exceeds financing constraints. Failure on either metric would pressure private valuations and chip demand forecasts within the next two quarters.
