The CEO and CFO of OpenAI have differences in timing of going public.

The CEO of OpenAI privately expressed his hope to go public as soon as the fourth quarter of this year. The company's Chief Financial Officer, Sara Freya, earlier this year told some colleagues that the company is not ready to go public in 2026 because the necessary processes and organizational preparations have not been completed, and there are risks associated with the significant expenditure commitments. She also mentioned that it is still uncertain whether OpenAI will need to invest such a large amount of funds in purchasing AI servers in the coming years, and whether the revenue growth, which has slowed down, can support these expenditure commitments. It is currently unclear whether the news of OpenAI securing a total of $12.2 billion in investment commitments this week has alleviated some of her concerns.
