## Resource

Perplexity plans to pursue an IPO in 2028, CEO Aravind Srinivas told CNBC, setting an independent timeline not tied to OpenAI or Anthropic. The company positions itself as an answer focused search and conversational AI platform with both free and paid tiers. The timeline allows Perplexity to mature financial reporting, security programs, and enterprise contracts that public investors expect. Competitive dynamics include OpenAI's alignment with Microsoft and Anthropic's partnerships with Amazon and Google. Perplexity aims to keep flexibility across upstream models to manage vendor dependence and margin risk. Founders should anticipate more formal pricing and support from AI vendors approaching public markets and plan multi vendor strategies with clear data and uptime terms.
