🚨 OpenAI accelerates preparations for IPO, not wanting to fall behind Anthropic.
🟦 OpenAI is quietly preparing for its public debut in Q4 2026.
🟦 The company has begun informal outreach to Wall Street banks and is expanding its financial team, amid internal concerns that Anthropic may go public first.
🟦 There is significant pressure from rising computational costs and chip prices, fierce competition in the core AI sector, and legal risks related to the lawsuit with Elon Musk.
🟦 For OpenAI, the IPO is not just a race for prestige but also a necessary step to bolster market confidence and ensure long-term funding for the future.
