OpenAI continues to explore its options for entering the stock market.
Media reports have revealed that it may delay OpenAI’s IPO to 2027 instead of proceeding with the offering in the near future.
According to the New York Times, the company is discussing this option internally regarding the OpenAI IPO.
Reuters quoted informed sources as saying the goal is still to reach a market valuation of $1 trillion before listing.
Valuation of $1 trillion
Reports indicated that consultants suggested to the company’s management two options. The first is to wait for 2027 to achieve the target assessment.
The second is to reduce the market value to speed up the IPO.
But CEO Sam Altman dismissed the idea of downgrading.
Reaching the $1 trillion mark remains a key goal for the company, and there is no intention to back down from it at the moment.
Progressive Launch of GPT-5.6
In another development, US President Donald Trump’s administration reportedly asked the company to adopt a gradual launch of the GPT-5.6 model as a result of security considerations.
Accordingly, OpenAI will begin making the model available to a limited number of partners in an initial preview phase, before gradually expanding its reach.
OpenAI’s approvals to use the model during this phase will also be subject to a client-by-client government review.
Observers said the approach reflects a growing official interest in regulating advanced AI technologies.
Especially with the acceleration of the development of models capable of carrying out more complex tasks.
