4:16Now PlayingAnthropic PBC pulled ahead of OpenAI with its confidential IPO filing Monday, as the free-spending artificial intelligence startups battle for a fundraising edge that’s set to determine who will win the ultimate battle for computing power.
The oneupmanship in the firms’ private funding rounds, and now their progress toward going public, isn’t just about bragging rights. The risk for both firms is that the first to tap the US market’s unparalleled depth and liquidity will gain an immediate advantage in securing access to the chips, data centers and talent needed to build their AI models.
With Elon Musk looking to turbocharge SpaceX’s nascent AI offerings by strapping them to a hyperscaler with a chipmaker joint venture and doing an IPO, OpenAI and Anthropic can’t risk falling behind. Bloomberg Intelligence's Matthew Bloxham takes a closer look.
