How to Invest in OpenAI in 2025: All the Ways to Own a Stake in ChatGPT’s Creator

OpenAI’s background: OpenAI started in 2015 as a research lab co-founded by Sam Altman and Elon Musk with a non-profit mission. In 2019, to fund expensive AI development, OpenAI created a hybrid for-profit entity with a capped-profit model – investors can earn returns up to a certain limit, after which the majority of profits return to the original non-profit to support its mission reuters.com. This structure is highly unusual, and it’s part of why OpenAI hasn’t gone public yet. Altman has openly said he’s wary of an IPO in the near term, joking that he doesn’t want to be “sued by…Wall Street” for making unconventional decisions in pursuit of long-term AGI goals reuters.com. In his view, public market pressure might conflict with OpenAI’s mission. That said, the company’s recent actions suggest change is on the horizon – more on that in the outlook section.

Anthropic’s New AI Powers Through Code: “World’s Best” Claude Sonnet 4.5 Debuts

Anthropic’s New AI Powers Through Code: “World’s Best” Claude Sonnet 4.5 Debuts

Claude is Anthropic’s family of AI assistants. Sonnet 4.5 is the latest “frontier model” optimized for coding and long-horizon tasks. Anthropic calls it a “new generation of coding models” techcrunch.com. Unlike a short-response chatbot, Sonnet 4.5 is built to use tools and software environments autonomously: it can open windows, edit code, run programs, and iterate for hours. According to Anthropic’s engineers, they observed it “maintaining focus for more than 30 hours on complex, multi-step tasks” anthropic.com. In effect, Claude Sonnet 4.5 acts less like a fleeting assistant and more like a persistent co-programmer: as one Anthropic product lead put it, “This is a continued evolution on Claude, going from an assistant to more of a collaborator to a full, autonomous agent… capable of working for extended time horizons” axios.com.

MARKET CALENDAR

Key Events Today

The catalysts most likely to move markets.

#1

U.S. index futures reopen at 18:00 ET

This is the clearest scheduled U.S.-market price-discovery point today and can transmit weekend news into equity-index futures before Monday's cash session.

#2

New Zealand retail sales at 18:45 ET

The Q2 retail package can move NZD and regional risk sentiment. Spillover to U.S. assets is usually secondary unless the result is unusually large.

#3

No scheduled domestic U.S. data or corporate reports

The absence of U.S. releases, earnings, IPO pricings and split events leaves fewer scheduled catalysts, increasing the relative importance of weekend headlines and positioning at the futures reopen.
