旧金山 — 据彭博社与路透社报道，OpenAI 新一轮融资的首批资金已经到账，规模约110亿美元，于11月6日（周五）交割，对应公司估值1.25万亿美元。这一估值高于今年3月上一轮融资时的8,520亿美元，当时该公司获得了1,220亿美元的承诺资本。
本轮融资最初的目标是约300亿美元，寻求的估值一度在1.4万亿至1.5万亿美元之间；据报道，由于投资者兴趣低于最初预期，本轮最终规模可能在200亿美元左右。软银与 MGX 参与了本轮投资，Coatue、普信集团（T. Rowe Price）、红杉资本、Founders Fund 与 a16z 等机构也在投资者之列。

OpenAI Closes First $11 Billion of New Funding Round at a $1.25 Trillion Valuation
SAN FRANCISCO — OpenAI has closed the first tranche of a new funding round, raising about $11 billion at a $1.25 trillion valuation, according to Bloomberg and Reuters. The first closing took place on Friday, November 6. The valuation is up from $852 billion in the company's March round, which drew $122 billion in committed capital.
The round initially targeted about $30 billion at a sought valuation of $1.4 trillion to $1.5 trillion; with investor interest reportedly below initial expectations, the final raise may total around $20 billion. SoftBank and MGX participated, and Coatue, T. Rowe Price, Sequoia Capital, Founders Fund and a16z are also among the investors, the reports said.
Chief Financial Officer Sarah Friar discussed the round on CNBC on November 6. OpenAI declined to comment on the terms. The capital arrives as OpenAI pursues its massive data-center and computing build-out. This report is compiled from Bloomberg and Reuters reporting.
