At an all-hands, OpenAI CFO Sarah Friar told employees the company 'will be a public company in 2027,' or sooner if 'our business continues to inflect,' per CNBC. The commitment lines up with prior reporting that Friar had been pressing for a 2027 listing at ~$1T against Altman's push for a 2026 debut.
