Reports indicate that OpenAI is also intensively preparing to secretly submit its S-1 draft, with Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley serving as co-underwriters, originally planning to complete the submission by the end of May 2026 to aim for a public listing in the fall of 2026. However, Anthropic announced on June 1 that it had submitted a secret IPO application, gaining a lead in the capital market positioning battle, which has sparked speculation about OpenAI's progress being hindered or surpassed. In the interview, Altman downplayed the competition among large model companies in the IPO process, stating publicly that the listing is merely a financing event and that the company will not focus its energy on the specific timing of the IPO. Altman emphasized that the real competition in the industry lies in delivering top-notch technology and building business models, rather than the race to go public itself. Regarding OpenAI's own IPO process, Altman revealed that the company will not adjust its pace due to competitors' actions and will choose to advance the listing at the appropriate time. $OPENAI $AI
