NAPA, California, Nov 4 (Reuters) – OpenAI President Greg Brockman said ​on Wednesday the company ‌now generates the majority of its revenue from enterprise sales and he believes it will ‌be ​ready to ⁠go public in ⁠2027.

Brockman said the AI lab has been ramping up sales to businesses in ​competition with rival Anthropic, which is likely to ⁠go public ⁠before year end, including ​pushing its Codex agent.

The AI ​executive spoke at a Wall ‌Street Journal tech conference in Napa, California. When asked on stage if ⁠OpenAI will be ready for an IPO next year, he said, “I ⁠think ‌so.”

San Francisco’s OpenAI ⁠has been racing to ​ramp ‌up fundraising, Reuters ​reported, in ⁠order to capitalize on its recent growth after delaying its IPO plans.
