OpenAI is pursuing a new funding round at a $1.2 trillion valuation ahead of a planned initial public offering, according to the Financial Times. Sam Altman's company is capitalising on demand following recent model launches. MyBroadband reported the valuation in South African rand (R19.5 trillion) as part of a broader tech news roundup.
