According to the Wall Street Journal on May 6OpenAI CFO Sarah Friar has privately advised the company's leadership IPO The delay to the next year is based on the fact that companies are not yet in a position to meet stringent disclosure requirements in open markets。
At the same time, another report revealed that Altman had discussed at the end of last year the fragmentation of the robotic and consumer hardware sectors into separate entities, so that they could operate independently and independently, while reducing the financial drag on core operations。
However, the programme was eventually rejected, inter alia, because the new entity after separation may still need to be incorporated into OpenAI ' s balance sheet for accounting treatment. According to the source, it is still possible for the company to reopen this discussion in the future, when core and exploratory operations will be disclosed separately in the financial report, perhaps using the holding company structure of Alphabet。
OpenAI has recently missed some of its internal user and revenue targets, concentrating its resources on core products, cutting off the video-generation tool Sora, and moving towards a "super application" for developers and business users in response to the competitive pressure that Anthropic has brought to the programming of tools。
External time pressure also exists. The bank informed OpenAI and Anthropic that the first party to be listed would have priority over market funding。
