OpenAI is preparing for an IPO later in 2026.

OpenAI expects to achieve Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) by 2030, which will be capable of outperforming humans at most economically valuable work.

OpenAI stated that consumer momentum accelerated meaningfully to start the year, with January and February 2026 on track to be the largest months for new subscribers in their history.

On May 20th, 2026, SpaceX released its IPO prospectus, with the IPO itself scheduled for June 2026.

Valuation analysts believe Anthropic has a higher chance of holding its value in public markets and will likely go public before OpenAI.

Dario Amodei joined OpenAI in mid-2026.
