OpenAI files for US IPO after Anthropic as AI giants head to public markets | World News

ChatGPT maker OpenAI confidentially filed for a US initial public offering recently, the company said on Monday, joining rival Anthropic in a push toward the stock market as investors seek exposure to the artificial intelligence boom. OpenAI did not disclose the size or terms of the offering, and said a timeline has not yet been determined. “It may be a while because there are things we want to do that are likely easier as a private company,” it said in a statement. Reuters had reported that the AI giant is targeting a valuation of up to $1 trillion in a stock market debut that could come as early as September. At that valuation, OpenAI would set the stage for a trio of trillion-dollar-valuation companies ⁠debuting rapidly, ​which together are seen as the most consequential test of investor appetite for high-growth technology stocks in the last 10 years.

OpenAI defeats Musk in lawsuit over nonprofit mission, removing IPO obstacle | Technology News

A US jury on Monday ruled against Elon Musk in his lawsuit against OpenAI, finding the artificial intelligence company not liable to the world’s richest person for having allegedly strayed from its original mission to benefit humanity. In a unanimous verdict, the jury in Oakland, California, federal court said Musk brought his case too late. The jury deliberated less than two hours. The three-week trial had widely been seen as a critical moment for the future of OpenAI and artificial intelligence generally, both in how it should be used and who should benefit from it. The verdict simplifies the path for OpenAI to proceed with a possible initial public offering that could value the business at $1 trillion. But OpenAI’s public face, Chief Executive ⁠Sam Altman, must ​also address the challenges to his reputation from some extremely personal testimony during the trial, including multiple witnesses describing him as a liar. Musk said he will appeal, repeating his claim that Altman and OpenAI President Greg Brockman viewed OpenAI as a means to great wealth. “Altman & …

OpenAI vs Apple? AI Partnership Faces Legal Threat Over Siri Plans

4 min readNew DelhiMay 15, 2026 01:14 PM IST OpenAI is preparing legal action against Apple over what it sees as a breakdown in their two-year-old artificial intelligence (AI) partnership, Bloomberg reported. The Microsoft-backed AI firm reportedly believes it did not receive the commercial and strategic benefits it had expected from the deal that brought ChatGPT integration to Apple devices. The partnership, unveiled in 2024 as part of the company’s “Apple Intelligence” push, allowed Siri to route some user queries to ChatGPT and enabled iPhone users to sign up for ChatGPT subscriptions directly through Apple’s ecosystem. OpenAI had expected the arrangement to significantly boost subscriptions, visibility, and deeper integration of its AI models across Apple’s apps and services. However, Bloomberg and Reuters reported that OpenAI now feels Apple has not expanded the collaboration meaningfully enough. OpenAI’s lawyers are already working with an external law firm to examine possible legal options, including issuing Apple a formal breach-of-contract notice, according to reports. The company is still seeking a negotiated solution and may not immediately file a full …
