Money is still pouring into artificial intelligence. This page tracks the rounds and valuations TSN has reported, from seed deals to the reported talks at the very top of the market.
The biggest number is still unconfirmed. Reuters reported on 19 October that OpenAI is racing to close a round of about $30 billion before Anthropic’s expected stock market debut in mid-November, which could value it at over $1.4 trillion. No round has been announced. In China, Caijing reported that DeepSeek is close to raising about 100 billion yuan, and Bloomberg reported that Isomorphic Labs is in early talks at a valuation of at least $40 billion. These are reports based on unnamed sources, not closed deals.
The confirmed rounds show where investors are placing bets. Infrastructure is one theme: Tenstorrent said it closed a $1.5 billion Series E at a $6.2 billion post-money valuation, and Modal raised $750 million at $15.75 billion. Applications are another, with Ramp valued at $60 billion and TypeSafe AI at $7.5 billion. Robotics and physical AI form a third, with Eka Robotics valued at $1.45 billion and Astribot at RMB 15 billion.
Valuation figures need care. Some are post-money, some pre-money, and some come from employee share sales rather than new investment, as with Anduril’s reported tender at roughly $90 billion. TSN marks which figures a company confirmed and which come from press reports.
Where things stand: the round to watch is OpenAI’s, and the timing of Anthropic’s listing may shape it. Below that, the pace has held: on 20 October alone, ASI, Blackwall, Arda and Eka Robotics announced rounds at valuations of $1.45 billion or more.
