Woofun AI reports that OpenAI is evaluating an initial public offering potentially occurring in 2027. Although both OpenAI and Anthropic have submitted confidential IPO applications to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, OpenAI leadership anticipates Anthropic will list first. Earlier indications suggested an OpenAI debut this autumn, while Anthropic explores an October launch. Recent fluctuations in technology equities have influenced OpenAI's scheduling, with final plans subject to change.
