OpenAI weighs IPO in 2027 after expected Anthropic public debut

OpenAI is considering an initial public offering as soon as in 2027, according to people familiar with the matter, a timeline that would potentially see it go public after its artificial intelligence rival Anthropic PBC.

The ChatGPT maker’s leadership expect that Anthropic will likely go public first, the people said, even though both companies have already filed confidentially with the US Securities and Exchange Commission. OpenAI had been targeting a fall listing, and Anthropic is considering an IPO as soon as in October, Bloomberg News has reported.
