OpenAI is reportedly in talks to raise around $30 billion, targeting a valuation of $1.25 trillion. CNBC reported that UAE investors are leading this funding round.

The Arabian Post noted that OpenAI's valuation goal is part of its strategy as it approaches a potential IPO in 2027. Bloomberg also highlighted the company's ambitious valuation target.

Nothing here yet. A development is a primary document or a government record arriving, a named party publishing a statement of its own, or an entry an editor has made. Outlets repeating one report are coverage, and they are in the timeline below.
