OpenAI reportedly raising $30B at $1.4T valuation as Anthropic IPO exposes weak metrics

Bloomberg reports OpenAI is targeting $30 billion in new funding at a $1.4 trillion valuation, with investor demand said to be leading the round.
The reposter argues OpenAI's momentum effectively pressured Anthropic into IPOing, which then exposed unflattering metrics, while OpenAI stays private longer to bank on its growth and path to profitability. They predict Anthropic could fall below $1T shortly after IPO while OpenAI climbs to $2-3T.
