It is reported that OpenAI plans to conduct an IPO as early as the fourth quarter of this year.

**Opinion Network News: ** On April 6, news from the capital markets: OpenAI plans to hold an initial public offering (IPO) as early as the fourth quarter of this year, and the company’s chief executive officer has privately indicated a desire to complete the listing no later than the fourth quarter.

Information shows that OpenAI has just completed a private financing round of unprecedented scale, with a total amount of as much as $122 billion and a post-money valuation of $852 billion. However, Chief Financial Officer Sarah Friar is taking a cautious stance. She believes the company is not yet fully ready in terms of the processes and organizational preparations related to going public, and she is concerned about the company’s plan to commit $600 billion in major spending over the next five years.

According to reports, the market broadly expects that before OpenAI achieves positive cash flow, its cumulative burn rate will exceed $200 billion. The contradiction between this aggressive expansion plan and a financially prudent strategy has led to differing internal top-level assessments regarding risk and readiness.
