I initially got confused mixing up billions and trillions—which, to be fair, we're all doing now in AI—but yes, they're eyeing a listing sometime in late 2026 or 2027. This comes right after they finalized their shift from nonprofit to for-profit earlier this week, which makes sense when you realize they need absolutely mountains of cash to keep training these models and chasing AGI. The big question remains whether you can actually spend your way to AGI, or if we need something fundamentally different. The restructuring is fascinating, really. The nonprofit OpenAI Foundation now holds a 26% stake in the for-profit arm, plus warrants for more shares if they hit certain milestones. They're projecting $20 billion in revenue by year's end but aren't actually profitable yet, which is wild when you think about it. Also touched on Perplexity's new patent search tool, which honestly looks like it could demolish the archaic patent research industry overnight, and Hugging Face released a brilliant guide for training your own LLMs—dense and technical, but genuinely accessible if you want to understand how these things actually work. —— More Useful Resources —— My other daily live show - 30-day building a business in public challenge: https://www.youtube.com/live/Z0Z_1Eg3HUk (day one) Ultimate AI Learning Resource List: https://www.aiwithkyle.com/resources/ai-learning-guide Free AI Entrepreneurship Playbooks: https://aiwithkyle.com/catalog Free Quiz: What AI business should you start? https://aiwithkyle.com/tools Free AI Training Business Planner: https://aiwithkyle.com/tools/workshop-builder Free AI Industry Translator Tool: https://aiwithkyle.com/tools/industry-ai-translator Free 10-Week ‘Vibe Coding’ AI Summer Camp: https://aiwithkyle.com/courses/10-week-ai-summer-camp —— Time Stamps —— 0:00 - Introduction 0:18 - OpenAI $1 Trillion IPO Plans - Biggest Tech IPO Ever? 7:32 - Q&A: Understanding AI Tokens and GPU Capacity 9:01 - George RR Martin Sues OpenAI - Copyright Lawsuit Update 11:54 - Q&A: Microsoft's 27% OpenAI Stake Explained 13:09 - Sora AI Video Generator - New Pricing & Monetization 18:03 - Perplexity AI Deep Research Review 19:54 - Perplexity Patents - AI Patent Search Tool Launch 21:51 - Hugging Face Small Training Playbook - Build Your Own LLM —— Contact —— Best is in YouTube comments.
