OpenAI is currently engaged in preliminary discussions for a secondary share sale plan for its current and former employees, with a potential valuation of approximately $500 billion. This proposed sale could involve transactions amounting to billions of dollars. Existing investors, including Thrive Capital, have already reached out to OpenAI to explore potential acquisitions. Notably, OpenAI was previously valued at $300 billion during a funding round led by SoftBank Group, followed by an additional infusion of $8.3 billion in funding.
