OpenAI has filed confidentially for an IPO as it joins rivals in tapping public markets to fund ambitious growth plans. Sources tell us that the maker of ChatGPT is working with Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley on a potential listing as soon as this autumn. Though the company remains synonymous with AI, OpenAI now faces increasing competition from rival Anthropic and others.
Michael Hyther is our US Deals Editor.
Another week, another multi-billion plan for an IPO of an AI company, it seems. Yes, the race is on against Anthropic. What OpenAI is saying today is simply that they announced that they had filed confidentially for an IPO because they thought it was going to leak anyway, so they put that out there.
The announcement notably says that they have not decided on timing, that the company is perhaps doing things which might be better done as a private company for a while, and the decision on that will come later.
Michael Heifer speaking there. As a growing number of chief technology officers push for greater AI cost efficiency, cheaper Chinese models are putting pressure on AI token pricing, raising questions about how much companies are willing to pay for premium models.

Chapter 2: What recent developments have occurred with OpenAI's IPO?
IDC's Senior Research Director Nabila Popal says that Apple's reach gives it an edge. There was no revolutionary breakthrough feature that we haven't seen before across other models. But what is breakthrough is the fact that it's, let's remember the Apple installed base. There are massive, there's millions of users using iPhone and iPhone only, right?
Not everyone has been in the tech space or has used other devices. Nabila Popal speaking there. But Apple is in a standoff with EU regulators over whether its new tools protect user privacy. The company says that it won't launch its new Siri AI assistant in either the EU or China as it engages with regulators.
The UK says it will repay visa fees for high-growth companies when they hire talent from abroad. The move comes as the Labour government is trying to fend off criticism that has made the UK a less attractive place to do business after reforming the immigration system and ramping up taxes on employers.
Speaking to Bloomberg at London's Tech Week, Britain's AI minister, Kanishka Narayan, says the government is focused on the ends, not the means.
I think one of the things I've most valued is the British public's appetite for pragmatism. And I think that is the defining philosophy for this government. We want the best security trust for the British public when it comes to AI. We will pursue the mechanisms that make that deliver rather than looking obsessively at the mechanism for how we get there.

Chapter 3: How is the competition affecting OpenAI's market position?
The UK's AI minister is also hoping to capitalise on Britain's tech hub status to boost investment and growth. But Labour leadership hopeful Andy Burnham's comments on regulating big tech have raised concerns that the UK government's stance may be more complicated.
Now to the Middle East. Iran and Israel have agreed not to strike each other as long as they are not attacked. After a recent escalation in violence threatened peace talks, US President Donald Trump has renewed his claim of momentum in the negotiations, saying that they were in the final throes of a deal. Israeli leader Benjamin Netanyahu says that his country will hold fire for now.
Right now, the fighting on the Iran front is contained. If they make a mistake and attack us again, we will respond forcefully.
Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu there during a televised statement yesterday speaking via a translator. His remarks followed Iran's announcement of an end to its military operations against Israel, though its Central Military Command vowed much harsher action if Israel continues to attack.

The Bank of England is sounding the alarm over a barrage of AI-generated images. The pictures, circulating on social media, depict Governor Andrew Bailey and Reform's Nigel Farage. Bloomberg's Tebow Adebayo has more.
Social media platform X is awash with images of Reform Party leader Nigel Farage fighting Bank of England governor Andrew Bailey. The problem is the images are fake. The posts are linked to a counterfeit BBC News article claiming the two came to blows on popular political panel show Question Time. But that confrontation never happened.
Yet the posts have quotes attributed to Farage, criticising Bailey over the cost of living and promoting AI-powered investment platforms. They also include links to an app called a Nocturex. According to the BOE governor, this incident is the latest in a spate of fake adverts impersonating central banks.
A reform official said the party had reported the adverts, but declined to say whether that was to X or to a UK regulator. In London, Tiwa Adebayo, Bloomberg Radio.
