According to WSJ, OpenAI is preparing for an IPO in Q4 2026 and has had informal discussions with several Wall Street investment banks about a potential listing. At the same time, it is expanding its financial team to compete with Anthropic's IPO plans. Insiders reveal that OpenAI is concerned Anthropic might go public first. The report highlights that OpenAI still faces challenges such as high costs for computing power and chips, intensified competition in its core business, and legal risks involving Elon Musk. The IPO is seen as a crucial step to stabilize market confidence and support long-term capital needs. Meanwhile, other tech companies, including SpaceX, are also considered potential IPO candidates, with the market widely expecting IPO activity to rebound significantly in 2026. https://www.(wublock123.com)/index.php?m=content&c=index&a=show&catid=6&id=55893
