OpenAI is considering an IPO as early as 2027

According to sources familiar with the matter, OpenAI is considering an IPO as early as 2027, by which time its AI competitor Anthropic may have already gone public first. The sources said that although both companies have confidentially filed for public offerings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), OpenAI's management expects Anthropic is likely to go public first. Media previously reported that OpenAI aims to go public this fall, while Anthropic is considering an IPO as early as October. Sources indicated that recent volatility in tech stocks has affected OpenAI's listing timeline. Related discussions are still ongoing, and details of OpenAI's IPO plan may be subject to change.
