OpenAI 已秘密提交 S-1 文件(IPO 申请),预计消息将泄露故主动披露。OpenAI 尚未决定上市时间,可能继续维持私有一段时间,因其部分计划在私有状态下更易推进。此举紧随 Anthropic 提交保密 S-1 之后,两大前沿 AI 公司展开 IPO 竞赛:先上市者可能定义整个板块的公开市场预期,迟入者则面临以此为基准的估值对比。
OpenAI has confidentially filed for an IPO to preserve the option of going public, but says no timing has been decided and it may remain private for a while.
The move comes shortly after Anthropic filed its own confidential S-1, turning the AI IPO race into a battle over timing, valuation benchmarks, and investor attention.
Going first could matter: the first major frontier AI IPO may define public-market expectations for the entire sector, while later entrants risk being judged against that benchmark.
