Key points

- Company valuation reaches $1.25 trillion
- Q3 revenue climbs to $10 billion
- ChatGPT paid user base hits 100 million
OpenAI, the prominent AI research and deployment company, has secured 15 billion dollars in a fresh funding round, bringing its overall corporate valuation to 1.25 trillion dollars, according to insider reports from CNBC.
Previously, market insiders reported that the company aimed to raise up to 30 billion dollars at a targeted valuation of 1.4 trillion dollars. Industry experts view this intermediate funding round as a strategic stepping stone toward a highly anticipated initial public offering (IPO) expected in 2027.
Recent financial disclosures reveal that OpenAI's revenue surged by roughly 50 percent in the third quarter compared to the previous period, reaching 10 billion dollars. However, the firm continues to report substantial operating losses driven by the immense costs required to scale its AI infrastructure and operations.
Additionally, the company shared growth metrics with investors, noting that paid subscribers for ChatGPT have climbed to approximately 100 million. This milestone accounts for about 8.5 percent of the platform's total weekly active user base.
