OpenAI CFO tells staff the company plans to go public in 2027 or earlier

AI Market Summary
OpenAI's CFO told staff the firm targets an IPO in 2027 (or sooner), despite having raised $122bn in March at an $852bn valuation. Disclosed run-rate growth and 20m weekly coding users signal momentum, but widening operating losses, executive departures, and intensifying competition (including Anthropic's stronger recent results) raise governance and margin questions. The news primarily affects expectations for private AI valuations and the timing of public-market supply.
