Per WSJ, OpenAI is in early talks to raise funding at a valuation above $1.2T, up roughly 41% from March's $852B, with an IPO expected in 2027. The company reports over 1B active users and Q2 revenue grew 18% to $6.7B, but operating margins declined, pushing profitability further out as competition intensifies. Anthropic still sits around a $2T valuation, though OpenAI is closing the gap.
