Pirat_Nation reported on May 21, 2026 that OpenAI is preparing to file confidential IPO paperwork in the coming days or weeks, possibly as early as Friday, working with Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley. The company was valued at around $852 billion in private funding discussions. OpenAI seeks new funding for massive data centers to train advanced AI systems. The plans follow its transition to a for-profit model and victory in the Elon Musk lawsuit. OpenAI generates substantial monthly revenue but faces competition from Anthropic and Google.
