OpenAI\u00a0CEO Sam Altman has reportedly told employees he expects the company to go public \u201cwithin the next year.\u201d<\/p>\n

That message from Sam Altman to his staff added that \u201cmany things could cause it to be sooner or later in that range, but filing now gives us optionality if we want to go sooner,\u201d The Information\u00a0reported\u00a0Wednesday (June 10), citing an internal Slack message.<\/p>\n

The report added that another OpenAI executive also teased the launch of a new AI model the artificial intelligence startup is preparing.<\/p>\n

As the report notes, Altman\u2019s message came at roughly the same time OpenAI announced on its blog that it had filed paperwork for an\u00a0initial public offering\u00a0(IPO) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).<\/p>\n

The Information says the cautious tone of Altman\u2019s message is in contrast with a growing view among investors that OpenAI and rival Anthropic are racing to go public as quickly as possible at valuations of\u00a0around $1 trillion.<\/p>\n

According to the report, Altman\u2019s message said that if OpenAI\u2019s tech advances rapidly to the point where the AI can create new AI \u2014 what is known as recursive self-improvement (RSI) \u2014 a\u00a0quicker stock market listing would become less likely.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe faster the potential RSI takeoff looks like it could be, the more it could be advantageous to delay an IPO,\u201d because the \u201ctechnology and the world may change in surprising ways, and there might be good reasons to be a private company during that time,\u201d the CEO said.<\/p>\n

But he added that the level of funding OpenAI needs for its compute and infrastructure buildout could speed up the IPO plans. In announcing its plans earlier this week, OpenAI said it was publicizing the confidential filing because it expected the news to leak.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have not decided on timing yet; it may be a while because there are things we want to do that are likely easier as a private company,\u201d OpenAI said in the announcement.<\/p>\n
