Anthropic&#8217;s most recent valuation hit $965bn.<\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-1a18e57c-0 HooNV\">The companies now will be competing as to who might debut on the public stock market first &#8211; as neither have said exactly when this could occur.<\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-1a18e57c-0 HooNV\">Just last week, Altman said in an interview with CNBC that he was in no rush to take OpenAI public, and that he would do it &#8220;when it makes sense&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-1a18e57c-0 HooNV\">In its statement on Monday, OpenAI said it was revealing its IPO plans because &#8220;we expect it to leak&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-1a18e57c-0 HooNV\">The company noted that revealing its plans and its decision to go public &#8220;is a complicated set of tradeoffs&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-1a18e57c-0 HooNV\">Having filed the necessary paperwork for review with the SEC, the company says it now has &#8220;the option to go public sooner if that ends up being best&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-1a18e57c-0 HooNV\">For OpenAI, Anthropic and SpaceX, which also owns the\u00a0<a class=\"sc-2554282c-0 cDYatN\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.com\/news\/articles\/cgk2lzmm22eo\" target=\"_self\">controversial AI chatbot Grok<\/a>, selling shares to the public is like to give them billions of dollars in capital.<\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-1a18e57c-0 HooNV\">One of the most costly aspects of running an AI company is what is referred to as &#8220;compute,&#8221; which typically describes the infrastructure and processing power required to build, train, test and then make available its offerings to the public, such as a chatbot.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div class=\"sc-9cd5bb24-0 lmzibM\" data-component=\"layout-block\">\n<div class=\"sc-cd6075cf-0 DQtHs\">\n<div class=\"sc-82b3c53b-0 gDQlgg\">\n<div class=\"sc-85f9acf9-0 kfxpiP\">\n<p class=\"sc-1a18e57c-0 HooNV\">OpenAI&#8217;s compute costs are estimated to be over\u00a0<a class=\"sc-2554282c-0 cDYatN\" href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/technology\/openai-sees-compute-spend-around-600-billion-by-2030-cnbc-reports-2026-02-20\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">$100 billion dollars a year<\/a>, while its revenue, the money it actually makes from its business, is a fraction of that.<\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-1a18e57c-0 HooNV\">SpaceX is also far from a profitable business.<\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-1a18e57c-0 HooNV\">Anthropic, however, has told investors that it expects to turn a profit in the first half of this year, as it says sales of its Claude product and related services have grown significantly.<\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-1a18e57c-0 HooNV\">After going public, each company will have to share with the public an accounting of its business performance each quarter.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"sc-82b3c53b-0 bKjgsR\">\n<div class=\"sc-1a067ac9-0 erAaZh\" data-testid=\"ad-unit\" data-component=\"ad-slot\">\n<div id=\"dotcom-sid_2\" class=\"dotcom-ad\" data-testid=\"dotcom-sid_2\"><strong>By BBC<\/strong><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The artificial intelligence (AI) company behind the popular chatbot ChatGPT said on Monday that it had made a confidential filing with the US Securities and Exchange Commission to pursue an initial public offering (IPO) at some point in the future.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":13285,"featured_media":103092,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[13,3],"tags":[28326,28324,28325,15838,8678,4351],"coauthors":[701],"class_list":["post-115931","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-technology","category-world","tag-anthropic","tag-go-public","tag-intensifying-investment","tag-openai","tag-plans","tag-race"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v25.7.1 (Yoast SEO v27.5) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>OpenAI plans to go public, intensifying investment race with Anthropic - Capital Business<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"The artificial intelligence (AI) company behind the popular chatbot ChatGPT said on Monday that it had made a confidential filing with the US Securities and Exchange Commission to pursue an initial public offering (IPO) at some point in the future.
