According to Sawyer Merritt, OpenAI is now seeking to raise up to $100 billion at a staggering $830 billion valuation, a significant increase from its previously reported $750 billion valuation. This follows a sharp valuation jump to $500 billion in October 2025, up from $300 billion earlier in the year (source: Sawyer Merritt on Twitter). This rapid valuation growth highlights the accelerating demand for advanced AI solutions and positions OpenAI as a dominant force in the generative AI market. For AI industry stakeholders and investors, this signals expanding opportunities in enterprise AI adoption, large-scale model commercialization, and AI infrastructure development, as funding at this scale enables broader research, product deployment, and global market reach.
