OpenAI and Microsoft Tweak Partnership Ahead of Rumored IPO—Wall Street Already Salivating
Tech’s oddest power couple just rewrote the rules. OpenAI and Microsoft have quietly restructured their billion-dollar partnership, clearing regulatory hurdles for an IPO that’ll make bankers richer than GPT-4’s training budget.

One hedge fund analyst quipped: ’They’ll IPO at a $100B valuation, crash to $60B, then get bailed out by SoftBank. The AI bubble playbook writes itself.’
