Perplexity is keeping its 2028 IPO plans intact as OpenAI, Anthropic, and SpaceX<\/a> lead a wave of high-profile offerings that could put investor appetite to the test.<\/p>\n

Aravind Srinivas, the CEO of the AI-powered search and answer engine<\/a> startup, told CNBC that the company’s timeline remains unchanged by the market reception to upcoming debuts from peers OpenAI and Anthropic.<\/p>\n

“Agnostic of these two companies, we were planning for something in 2028, so that still remains the case,” Srinivas told the network in an interview that aired on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

His comments come as the AI industry moves toward what could be one of the busiest periods of tech listings in years.<\/p>\n

Anthropic, the maker of Claude, confidentially filed for an IPO last week. OpenAI has also confidentially filed for an IPO, while SpaceX’s upcoming debut<\/a> is expected to test investor appetite for mega-cap technology offerings.<\/p>\n

Together, the offerings could shape how public markets value the next generation of AI and technology giants.<\/p>\n

Srinivas acknowledged that the performance of those offerings will matter to the broader industry, even if they don’t alter Perplexity’s own plans.<\/p>\n

“I certainly think there will be ripple effects if they don’t go well, like there is no sugar coating on that,” he told CNBC.<\/p>\n

Srinivas defended the lofty valuations attached to OpenAI and Anthropic, arguing that both companies remain at the cutting edge of AI development.<\/p>\n

At the same time, he suggested that investors will continue to scrutinize whether leading model developers can maintain a rapid pace of improvement.<\/p>\n

“If for six months you don’t see a model capability advance from one of these two companies, then it’s a problem for them,” Srinivas said.<\/p>\n

The debate over AI valuations comes as companies take a harder look at their AI budgets. Srinivas said customers are becoming more selective about which models they use.<\/p>\n

“If there is an open source model that gets the job done 90% of the time, I’d probably use that if it’s 10 to 20 times cheaper than the frontier model,” he said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Perplexity is keeping its 2028 IPO plans intact as OpenAI, Anthropic, and SpaceX lead a wave of high-profile…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":67058,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[24,37723,37719,37718,872,8243,532,37720,37721,138,157,724,18704,658,37722],"class_list":["post-67057","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-openai","tag-ai","tag-answer-engine-startup","tag-anthropic-fare","tag-aravind-srinivas","tag-ceo","tag-cnbc","tag-company","tag-high-profile-offering","tag-investor-appetite","tag-ipo","tag-openai","tag-perplexity","tag-same-time","tag-spacex","tag-upcoming-debut"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/67057","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=67057"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/67057\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/67058"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=67057"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=67057"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ai\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=67057"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
