OpenAI to confidentially file for IPO as soon as Friday: Report

The filing could let OpenAI raise fresh capital as it faces rising compute costs and intense competition from cheaper AI rivals.

  • On Wednesday, the Wall Street Journal reported that OpenAI is working with Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley on a draft IPO prospectus, with a confidential filing possible as early as this Friday.
  • A California court dismissed Elon Musk's $150 billion lawsuit against OpenAI, Sam Altman, and Greg Brockman on procedural grounds, as Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers ruled the claims were filed past the statute of limitations.
  • Musk intends to appeal, arguing the outcome was based on a 'calendar technicality' and maintaining that leadership improperly enriched themselves, though the court did not assess these underlying allegations.
  • Rocket-Maker SpaceX could disclose its own IPO filings as soon as Wednesday, creating a competitive showdown as SpaceX is now a major rival to OpenAI in the AI sector.
  • OpenAI chief executive Sam Altman reportedly hopes the company will be ready to go public by September, seeking capital to support the mounting costs of building advanced artificial intelligence systems.
