Rival Anthropic Leads the Pack in AI IPO Race
OpenAI has confidentially filed for an initial public offering, just one week after rival Anthropic submitted its own confidential S-1. The company is targeting a valuation of up to $1 trillion, with revenue growth numbers that are roughly 4x faster than what Alphabet and Meta achieved during the internet and mobile eras. OpenAI’s burn rate is high, with profitability not expected until 2030. The IPO filing was reported by various sources, including Reuters and TechCrunch.
