OpenAI has reportedly raised $11 billion so far in a funding round that values the company at $1.25 trillion, according to Bloomberg. The round has not closed and could total about $20 billion, well short of the $30 billion the company was reported to be seeking in September.

Bloomberg reported on Friday, citing people familiar with the matter, that OpenAI has raised $11 billion so far in a new round. That amount is part of a larger round that has not closed yet and is expected to close in the coming weeks. A source told Bloomberg the round could total about $20 billion.

Bloomberg had reported in late September that OpenAI was looking to raise $30 billion in the round, so the current figures fall short of that goal. The outlet said it had asked OpenAI for comment and would update its story if the company responded.

The report came hours after Bloomberg said some potential buyers of shares in Anthropic's planned IPO see its valuation as low as $1.1 trillion, compared with the $2 trillion investors were expecting about a month earlier. OpenAI had said it would go public this year, then delayed those plans, and it is now expected to list next year.

## Why it matters if you build agents

For teams building on OpenAI's models, the report points to a large new capital base but does not say anything about pricing, model access or product changes. The figures are reported and not final, so the totals could shift before the round closes. Shifts in investor sentiment around AI could also affect the vendors agents depend on.
