According to a report by the Wall Street Journal on August 1st, BlockBeats reports that OpenAI may postpone its IPO until next year. Sources involved in the discussions revealed that in recent months, some of OpenAI's major investors have privately expressed concerns about the startup's rapid cash burn relative to its growth, while others have hedged their bets on OpenAI by investing in Anthropic. Meanwhile, Anthropic's revenue growth has recently surpassed OpenAI's, as has its valuation.
According to sources familiar with the matter, Anthropic is accelerating its fall IPO plans and has begun meeting with potential investors, emphasizing its lead over ChatGPT maker. OpenAI, which initially hoped to IPO before Anthropic, may now wait until next year.
