Sarah Friar, Chief Financial Officer of OpenAI, stated that an IPO is "not on the table" in the near future. The company's transition to a new structure does not indicate an imminent public offering, as the current focus is on growth and research rather than profitability. Friar said: "An IPO is currently not on the table. We are continuing to improve the company to adapt to the scale we are at, so I don't want to be constrained by the limitations of an IPO." Earlier reports suggested that the company was considering a public listing as early as 2027.
