OpenAI CEO Sam Altman stated the company will only pursue an IPO after ensuring robust model safety, with no clear timeline. Emphasizing that safety must align with capability, Altman warned against rushing to public markets while transitioning to ultra-capable models. This cautious approach contrasts with competitors like Anthropic and SpaceX, which have advanced their IPO plans. Altman acknowledged that delaying the IPO carries global costs but stressed the need to avoid capital market pressure until safety is stabilized.
