Apple’s Cautious AI Overhaul; OpenAI’s IPO Filing

OpenAI on Monday had good news and bad news for the media corps that avidly follows its every twist and turn.

The good news is that it https://www.theinformation.com/briefings/openai-confidentially-files-ipo-paperwork-plans-separate-employee-share-sale?rc=9byxri">filed confidentially to go public, https://www.anthropic.com/news/confidential-draft-s1-sec">a week after Anthropic did the same thing. (Yippee!) The bad news: OpenAI said it has “not decided on timing yet” and “it may be a while because there are things we want to do that are likely easier as a private company.” Moreover, it announced the confidential filing only because “we expect it to leak.” 

In other words, don’t get your hopes up.

We might see a fall contest between the two AI firms.

Then again, maybe we won’t.
