Apple’s Cautious AI Overhaul; OpenAI’s IPO Filing

OpenAI on Monday had good news and bad news for the media corps that avidly follows its every twist and turn. The good news is that it filed confidentially to go public, a week after Anthropic did the same thing. (Yippee!) The bad news: OpenAI said it has “not decided on timing yet” and “it may be a while because there are things we want to do that are likely easier as a private company.” Moreover, it announced the confidential filing only because “we expect it to leak.” 

In other words, don’t get your hopes up. We might see a fall contest between the two AI firms. Then again, maybe we won’t.
