[FLASH] OpenAI CFO tells staff the company will be public 'in 2027' or sooner as Anthropic courts IPO investors
Sarah Friar told an all-hands that OpenAI will be a public company in 2027, with an earlier listing possible if the business inflects, and said there was no cause for concern if Anthropic lists first. Reporting attributes the slippage to a clash between a trillion-dollar valuation floor and what the market will bear. The two largest private AI marks are now on visibly different clocks, which matters for any vehicle carrying them at private valuations.
