OpenAI IPO

TL;DR

The world's most famous 'non-profit' is finally hitting the public markets to fund its multi-billion dollar GPU addiction.

Who is this actually for?

Wall Street suits and retail bag-holders who want a piece of the LLM monopoly before the bubble potentially pops.

The Good

• Massive influx of cash means they can keep out-competing everyone on raw compute power.
• Public scrutiny might actually force some transparency on their bizarre corporate governance.

The Catch (Potential Downsides)

Shareholder pressure will likely kill what's left of their 'open' mission, turning every update into a search for more margin. Expect more aggressive API pricing and fewer free tiers.
