OpenAI创始人叫板唱衰者，并回应上市传闻

IPO Considerations - Although Altman does not frequently advocate for an IPO, he acknowledges that going public could counteract negative narratives about the company [4][6]. - OpenAI has transitioned from a non-profit to a profit-driven public benefit corporation (PBC), which may facilitate future fundraising and an eventual IPO [5]. - Altman remains vague about the timeline for an IPO, despite reports suggesting a potential valuation of up to $1 trillion in 2026 or 2027 [5][7].
