据彭博社报道，OpenAI正寻求筹集至少300亿美元的资本，估值约为1.4万亿美元，该公司将首次公开募股计划推迟到至少明年，理由是其专注于人工智能安全工作。OpenAI最近于3月份筹集了1，220亿美元的一轮融资，估值为8，520亿美元，包括这笔钱。
OpenAI is looking to raise at least $30 billion in capital at a valuation of about $1.4 trillion, Bloomberg News has reported, as the firm pushes back plans for an initial public offering until at least next year, citing its focus on AI safety efforts. OpenAI most recently raised a $122 billion round in March at an $852 billion valuation, including the money.

知情人士表示，与典型的风险投资轮不同，OpenAI正在向投资者提出其1.4万亿美元的资金前估值作为定价，尽管尚未确定主要投资者。通常，投资公司会提交融资条款，并与公司就领导融资进行谈判。
Unlike typical venture rounds, OpenAI is presenting its $1.4 trillion pre-money valuation to investors as a set price despite not yet settling on a lead investor, the people said. Normally, investment firms submit terms for funding rounds and negotiate with the company about leading it.
