[OpenAI CEO and CFO Disagree on IPO Timeline] OpenAI CEO Dennis Altman has privately revealed his expectation of an IPO as early as the fourth quarter of this year. However, CFO Sarah Freya told some colleagues earlier this year that she felt the company was not ready for an IPO by 2026. Her reasons included incomplete processes and organizational preparations, as well as the risks associated with the massive spending commitments. She also mentioned that it was uncertain whether OpenAI would need to invest such a large amount in purchasing AI servers over the next few years, and whether the slowing revenue growth could support these spending commitments. It is unclear whether OpenAI's announcement this week of receiving a total of $122 billion in investment commitments has alleviated some of her concerns.
