OpenAI is preparing to file for an initial public offering in the coming weeks and is targeting a public debut sometime in the fall, according to a person familiar with the plan.

The ChatGPT creator is working with Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley to make a confidential IPO filing as soon as Friday, but the exact timing remains uncertain, the person said, asking not to be identified because the information isn’t public. OpenAI said in a statement: “We regularly evaluate a range of strategic options. Our focus remains on execution.”

OpenAI has been laying the groundwork to go public as soon as this year as part of a broader effort to raise more capital and pay for its costly push for more chips, data centers and talent, Bloomberg News has previously reported.

Today, the debate is no longer about authenticity. It is about value perception, branding, sustainability, craftsmanship, transparency and consumer preference. Lab-grown diamonds are now widely accepted as real diamonds, with the same physical, chemical and optical properties as mined diamonds. The FTC and international trade standards recognize laboratory-grown diamonds as diamonds, provided disclosure is clear. Consumer perception has shifted dramatically over the last few years, moving the discussion away from origin and towards quality, craftsmanship, light performance and value. Lab-grown diamonds should not be confused with simulants such as cubic zirconia or moissanite, which are not carbon-based diamonds.

Nathalie Morrison, Astrea London Founder
Brett Mufson, President of Fontainebleau Development
Kristy Ellmer, BCG US Managing Partner & Director AND co-author of 'How Change Really Works'
