  • OpenAI Leads AI IPO Race as Confidential Filing Imminent
    May 20, 2026, 4:03 PM EDT. OpenAI has surged ahead of rival Anthropic as the favorite to launch the first initial public offering (IPO) among private AI firms. Prediction markets flipped following reports that OpenAI plans a confidential IPO filing as soon as this week, boosting its chances to 83% from 32%. Anthropic's probability of beating OpenAI has dropped significantly. Wedbush analyst Dan Ives emphasized the importance of being first to public markets in the competitive AI sector, citing valuation and investor engagement advantages. OpenAI's momentum follows a recent court victory and impending regulatory filings, despite previous investor concerns due to spending and leadership uncertainties. Meanwhile, Anthropic's Claude AI models and strong enterprise growth had recently made it a frontrunner, with a private valuation near $900 billion.
