OpenAI Hits $852B Valuation in Largest Tech Funding Round Ever | Apr 2, 2026
from The Beyond Brief Daily · host Michael Benatar
OpenAI just closed a monster $122 billion funding round at an $852 billion valuation while Q1 2026 shattered every venture record with $300 billion flowing into startups in just three months. We're also covering Oracle's brutal trade-off of laying off up to 30,000 workers to fund AI data centers, new AI releases from Google and Apple, and why this feels less like gradual tech evolution and more like a complete economic restructuring around AI infrastructure. Plus, the latest on supply chain attacks, hardware partnerships, and why traditional tech companies are contracting while AI startups throw $300k at new grads.
