OpenAI 与主要投资者就融资轮次进行早期洽谈,估值或达 1.2 万亿美元

据路透社9月15日报道,援引《金融时报》的消息,OpenAI 已与主要投资者就一轮融资进行了早期洽谈。若此轮融资完成,这家 ChatGPT 开发公司的估值可能达到约 1.2 万亿美元,且将在首次公开募股(IPO)之前实现。这将使该公司的估值比其今年3月完成的上一轮融资后估值(8520亿美元)高出约41%。

更深层的问题在于,在公众投资者能够介入之前,前沿人工智能公司究竟能产生多少价值。随着计算成本的增加和市场持续整合,企业层面的需求以及人工智能投资的历史性繁荣,能否继续支撑私人投资者给出的万亿美元级估值,成为市场关注的焦点。


由投资者而非 OpenAI 发起的对话

目前谈判仍处于初始阶段,最终估值可能会有所变化。据路透社报道,是投资者主动接触 OpenAI,而非 OpenAI 主动发起这些谈判。当被要求评论此事时,OpenAI 并未作出回应。

此前在9月12日,首席执行官 Sam Altman 表示,出于对前沿人工智能安全的担忧,OpenAI 不会在2026年进行 IPO。OpenAI 和 Anthropic 均已支持加强对更强大人工智能系统的监管。


六个月内从 8520 亿跃升至 1.2 万亿

According to data released by OpenAI, it received US$122 billion in committed capital in its latest round of financing in March, with a post-investment valuation of US$852 billion. Funding providers for this round include Amazon, Nvidia and SoftBank, while its long-term partner Microsoft also continues to participate in the financing. In addition, another $3 billion came from other investors and was raised through banking channels.

At the time, OpenAI revealed that its monthly revenue had reached US$2 billion, with corporate customers contributing more than 40% of revenue, and expected revenue to reach a similar level by the end of the year. As a result, a valuation of $1.2 trillion represents a 41% increase in less than six months.


OpenAI is accelerating its entry into the private market's "super giant club"

According to Forge Global, Anthropic, OpenAI and xAI have achieved a market value of more than US$100 billion in a shorter period of time than earlier private companies. xAI completed this feat in just 2.3 years, Anthropic took about 4.5 years, and companies founded before 2011 took an average of about 16 years.

根据 DefiLlama 的 IPO 前追踪器数据,截至9月14日,其估算 Anthropic 的估值为1.48万亿美元,而 OpenAI 的估值为9032.9亿美元。这些数据反映的是它们 IPO 前的预估价值,而非最新一轮融资中确定的估值。这意味着 Anthropic 的估值比 OpenAI 高出约64%。如果按照提议的1.2万亿美元计算 OpenAI 的估值,而 Anthropic 的估算保持不变,两者差距将缩小至近23%——Cryptopolitan 的计算展示了另一轮巨额融资如何迅速改变私人市场的预测。

Cryptopolitan 此前报道指出,Anthropic 的年化收入运行率已超过 OpenAI,这表明企业增长和未来市场份额正越来越多地被纳入投资者的考量之中,与模型能力并列。


OpenAI 对决 Anthropic:AI 估值、千亿美元速度及 2026 年支出

估值背后的万亿美元资本浪潮

高盛研究预测,2026年全球人工智能投资将突破1万亿美元,其中仅美国就将投入5810亿美元。Gartner 预计,全球在人工智能平台和模型上的支出将达642.5亿美元,较2025年增长63.4%。

这种张力至关重要。尽管客户方对更清晰回报的需求日益迫切,但基础设施项目的支出仍可能持续增加。麦肯锡进行的一项调查显示,40%的大型企业受访者正在积极实施人工智能代理,而在小型企业中这一比例仅为22%。

经合组织(OECD)也指出,硬件和数据主要集中在少数人手中,而标普全球的研究表明,自2025年底以来,在人工智能发展方面至关重要的经济体,其各项指标每月均超过全球基准率。


为何 IPO 可能是一次流动性事件,而非起飞平台

Forge 认为,对于市值已超千亿美元的公司而言,大部分价值创造发生在其保持私有状态期间。这使得 IPO 越来越像是一次为现有投资者提供流动性的事件,而非估值大幅增长的开始。

Anthropic 可能会率先验证这一观点。路透社报道称,Anthropic 最早可能在10月中旬开始营销其 IPO,并在11月美国中期选举前不久完成上市。如果是这样,OpenAI 关于1.2万亿美元估值的谈判,重点不在于 IPO 可能释放什么,而在于在 IPO 发生之前,私人投资者愿意为其定价多少价值。
