Sources say OpenAI is weighing an IPO as early as 2027 and expects AI rival
Anthropic may list first. Both firms have reportedly submitted confidential
filings to the US SEC, but OpenAI management judges Anthropic is likely to beat
it to market. Earlier reports targeted an OpenAI autumn listing and an Anthropic
IPO as soon as October. Sources said recent tech-stock volatility has affected
OpenAI’s timing; discussions are ongoing and plans could change.
