OpenAI files to go public as AI companies rush to Wall St

OpenAI, which started the artificial intelligence boom with its ChatGPT chatbot, filed confidentially on Monday for an initial public offering, laying the groundwork for what could be one of the largest public offerings to hit Wall Street.
The company has not yet decided when it will go public, it said in a statement to The New York Times.
“It may be a while because there are things we want to do that are likely easier as a private company,” the statement said. “But it’s a complicated set of trade-offs, and this gives us the option to go public sooner if that ends up being best.”
An OpenAI public offering would join what is expected to be
a wave of blockbuster I.P.O.s
, with Elon Musk’s rocket company, SpaceX, and the A.I. start-up Anthropic also preparing to go public this year.
OpenAI, which is based in San Francisco, was
valued at $730 billion
in private markets after a funding round this year. That does not include its latest investment round, which totaled $122 billion.
The company is a long way from being profitable, even after raising more than $180 billion since it was started in 201…

Flo Crivello's expenses were out of whack, and there was only one way to get them under control.
Earlier this month, the CEO of AI startup Lindyswitchedhis company off Anthropic's Claude models, moving 100% of its traffic to DeepSeek, a Chinese company that makes cheaper, open-weight alternatives.
"We did it, and you could see that cost curve go down, like, crash to the ground," Crivello said in an interview from his company's San Francisco headquarters. He said the decision will save Lindy millions of dollars within months, though he still expects the roughly 25-person company to spend more on AI than payroll.
"It's a matter of survival for the business," Crivello said. "That's all it is."
Crivello, who previously spent almost five years atUber, is among a growing crop of founders and executives across the U.S. trying to rein in artificial intelligence spending. Bills for AI have ballooned — sometimes into the billions of dollars — since OpenAI first captivated Wall Street with its ChatGPT chatbot in 2022, kickstarting a rush by businesses to deploy the technology across areas such as customer support, mar…

OpenAI Joins IPO Race with Confidential Filing - Techstrong.ai
OpenAI announced Monday that it has confidentially filed paperwork for an initial public offering (IPO), positioning the ChatGPT creator for one of the most richly anticipated market debuts in recent memory.
The move intensifies a high-stakes capital race in artificial intelligence (AI). Last week, rival Anthropic submitted its own confidential filing, and days before Elon Musk’s SpaceX — which recently integrated with xAI — is scheduled to begin trading in what Wall Street expects to be the largest IPO ever.
In a statement published on its website, OpenAI confirmed it recently submitted its Form S-1 to the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The confidential route allows the company to secure regulatory feedback before exposing its financial details to the public.
“We expect it to leak so we’re just announcing it,” OpenAI said. “We have not decided on timing yet; it may be a while because there are things we want to do that are likely easier as a private company. But it’s a complicated set of tradeoffs, and this gives us the option to go public sooner if that ends up being best.”
The decision to seek public …

That offers the prospect of a substantial reward, as investors bank on healthy returns from a technology that has taken the world by storm since OpenAI released its pioneering ChatGPT less than four years ago.

ChatGPT maker OpenAI confidentially filed for a U.S. initial public offering recently, the company said on Monday, joining rival Anthropic in a push toward the stock market as investors seek exposure to the artificial intelligence boom.
OpenAI did not disclose the size or terms of the offering, and said a timeline has not yet been determined. "It may be a while because there are things we want to do that are likely easier as a private company," it said in a statement.
Reuters had reported that the AI giant is targeting a valuation of up to $1 trillion in a stock market debut that could come as early as September.
At that valuation, OpenAI would set the stage for a trio of trillion-dollar-valuation companies debuting rapidly, which together are seen as the most consequential test of investor…
