OpenAI has reportedly reduced both its fundraising goal and valuation target, according to CoinDesk, as growing unease over the artificial-intelligence boom weighs on technology markets. The report did not specify the revised targets or explain how much they had changed.
Market anxiety spreads
The development comes during a sharp pullback in the Nasdaq 100, an index that tracks major non-financial companies listed on the Nasdaq exchange. Concern about the sustainability of the AI boom has pushed the index down by about 10% in the three weeks since it reached a record high on October 6.
The index fell another 4.5% on Friday, highlighting the speed of the market’s shift in sentiment. The report provides no further details about OpenAI’s fundraising process, the investors involved or the company’s previous and revised valuation figures.
For OpenAI, fundraising and valuation are closely watched because the company is one of the most prominent businesses associated with the rapid expansion of generative AI. A lower fundraising target would mean seeking less new capital than previously planned, while a lower valuation target would indicate that the company is being assessed at a reduced level in the reported transaction. Neither point, however, was quantified in the available report.
