Anthropic isn't racing OpenAI to go public. The math shows something different. Anthropic just raised at $350B and is targeting a $300-350B IPO. That's zero markup. OpenAI raised at $300-500B and is targeting $1T. That's a 2-3x jump. When you IPO at the same price you just

The OpenAI and Anthropic IPOs are going to be insane. “The start-up, led by chief executive Dario Amodei, had also discussed a potential IPO with big investment banks, according to multiple people with knowledge of those talks” https://www.ft.com/...

Anthropic is targeting a 2026 IPO and is already in discussions for a new funding round that would value it above $300B. This is shaping up to be one of the largest public listings in market history [image]

One thing separating the dot com boom from the AI bubble has been a comparative lack of dazzling IPOs. OpenAI and Anthropic are in a race to go first — the latter has just hired lawyers for the effort. Great @georgehammond.bsky.social scoop www.ft.com/content/3254...
