The opponent secretly submitted S-1, and he's quite calm: We're not following, we set our own pace.

CryptoWorld News reports that OpenAI CEO Sam Altman addressed, on CNBC’s “Power Lunch,” the issue of competitor Anthropic secretly submitting an S-1 registration statement draft. He said that going public is only a fundraising event, and the company does not focus on the specific timing of the IPO. Altman emphasized that real competition in the industry is about delivering top-tier technology and building business models—not about simply racing to list. Regarding OpenAI’s own listing process, Altman disclosed that the company will not adjust its pace due to competitors’ actions and will move forward when the time is right.
