OpenAI Weighs a 2027 IPO — and Expects Anthropic to Go Public First

Bloomberg·medium signal

Bloomberg reports (June 26) that OpenAI is considering an IPO as soon as 2027 and that its leadership expects Anthropic to debut publicly first, even though both companies have already filed confidentially with the SEC. The sequencing signal sharpens the two-horse race narrative as frontier labs move toward public markets amid intensifying government oversight of their models. It adds a concrete timeline to the IPO context covered earlier this week.
