OpenAI files confidentially for landmark IPO

OpenAI has submitted a confidential S-1 to go public on US stock markets, following rival Anthropic's filing just one week prior. The ChatGPT maker's debut is expected to rank among the most valuable listings in market history, with estimates putting the valuation north of $850 billion — and some projections topping $1 trillion.
