OpenAI, creator of ChatGPT, files for US IPO. Targets $1 trillion valuation.
OpenAI, the company behind ChatGPT, has confidentially filed for a US initial public offering (IPO), targeting a valuation of up to $1 trillion. This move marks a significant milestone in the company's rapid growth since its founding as a non-profit research lab in 2015. As we reported on June 9, OpenAI has been expanding its reach, with ChatGPT ads now live in the UK and over 900 million weekly active users.
The IPO filing is a testament to OpenAI's impressive revenue growth, with $2 billion in monthly revenue in March. CEO Sam Altman has shared the company's "current plan," highlighting a future where many can build, benefit, and hold power. This plan comes as OpenAI joins rival Anthropic in the lineup for the stock market, accelerating the AI IPO race.
As OpenAI moves towards a public listing, it will be crucial to watch how the company navigates the transition from a private to a public entity. With a potential valuation of $1 trillion, OpenAI's IPO is expected to be one of the largest in history. The company's ability to balance growth with responsibility will be under scrutiny, particularly given the vast reach and impact of ChatGPT.
