Summary: OpenAI is preparing for a potential IPO in late 2026 or 2027, aiming for a valuation of up to $1 trillion. This move follows a recent restructuring that reduces OpenAI’s reliance on Microsoft and positions the company for more efficient capital raising and acquisitions. The IPO would benefit investors like SoftBank and Thrive Capital, and comes amid a surge in AI-driven public market activity.
