I love how people think the company that basically invented ai is going out of business. Clearly OpenAI is a massive success and will continue to be

"Basically invented AI" by running on principles that Minsky wrote about in the 80s, and improvements Google developed in the early 10s, on bigger and bigger computers. But "Basically invented".

Does this mean they won't IPO this year?

The round is still open, Amazon is funding in tranches, and Sam doesnt get all the cash until he hits unknown metrics. Sounds like a down round.

That's a pretty lofty valuation for a company that has yet to demonstrate code generation anywhere near Anthropic's models if they're leaning into the engineering angle.

By what measure do you think they're not anywhere near Anthropic's models?

I dont see much of a difference betwen Claude,Codex and GLM with OpenCode. Any on them, nowadaws, works really, really, well.

Many engineers use Codex 5.3 and find it better, including Hashicorp's Mitchell.

i find codex 5.3 roughly on par with (though tbh still not quite as capable as) sonnet models, which are not even anthropic's flagship model family.

My guy, it's a tradeoff of autonomy vs thoroughness. You might not enjoy using the codex models, but to say they're way worse than claude is an error.

730 Billion certainly is a bubble that will pop sooner or later.
