OpenAI cuts funding target to $20 billion on lower valuation
In short
OpenAI is now trying to raise about $20 billion, at a $1.25 trillion valuation. That is down from a $30 billion target at a $1.4 trillion valuation last month, according to the summary.
This matters because it shows the ChatGPT maker is aiming for less money than before as AI enthusiasm cools. The reporting does not say whether the round is done or which investors may join.
