OpenAI is reportedly accelerating its efforts to secure commitments from private investors, aiming to raise $30 billion at a valuation exceeding $1.4 trillion. The goal is to complete this funding round before competitor Anthropic's anticipated initial public offering (IPO) in November. Potential investors include SoftBank and MGX. OpenAI's annualized revenue is reportedly already $50 billion and is projected to increase to $70 billion by year-end.
