OpenAI is reportedly considering an IPO as early as 2027 or later than when Anthropic goes public.

According to informed sources, OpenAI is considering conducting its first public offering as early as 2027. This means the company may go public after its AI competitor, Anthropic PBC. Sources say that although both companies have confidentially submitted IPO documents to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, OpenAI's management expects Anthropic to go public first. Previously reported plans had OpenAI aiming for a fall listing, while Anthropic was considering an IPO as early as October. Some sources suggest that recent fluctuations in tech stocks have affected OpenAI's considerations for its timing of going public. Discussions are ongoing, and OpenAI's IPO plans may still be adjusted.
