- Anthropic's IPO Move: Reportedly filing by the end of this month, targeting a raise between $75 billion and $86 billion to match or beat SpaceX's recent record.
- OpenAI's Timeline: CFO Sarah Friar told staff that 2027 remains the target, with acceleration only if growth inflects.
- Market Dynamics: SpaceX's successful IPO provided a pricing benchmark for AI-adjacent giants. If Anthropic prices cleanly first, it sets the valuation standard against which OpenAI will be measured, forcing OpenAI to wait and see how the market reacts to the first mover.
