[OpenAI Has Secretly Filed for IPO, Could Go Public as Early as This Fall] According to Bloomberg, OpenAI announced on Monday that it has secretly filed an IPO application with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and is working with Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley to advance the listing process. Sources familiar with the matter stated that OpenAI could go public as early as this fall. OpenAI noted that it has not yet decided on a specific timeline and that it may still take some time, as certain matters are easier to handle as a private company. However, this move provides the company with the option to go public earlier. OpenAI also plans to initiate a stock sale in the coming weeks to provide liquidity for its employees. Meanwhile, competitor Anthropic also secretly filed for an IPO last week, with its latest funding round valuing the company at $965 billion, surpassing OpenAI for the first time. SpaceX is scheduled to conduct its IPO on Thursday with an estimated valuation of approximately $1.8 trillion.
