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.
