Anthropic could reach public markets before OpenAI, putting the two AI firms in competition for investors as both face hefty computing costs, according to a Fast Company analysis published on LinkedIn.
Why it mattersThe analysis says Anthropic could list as soon as 19 November, while OpenAI may wait until early next year. It cites PitchBook analyst Harrison Rolfes, who says Anthropic’s compute bills come due in December. Those are reported expectations, not confirmed listing dates. The practical question is whether going public first would give Anthropic an advantage in raising capital, or simply expose both firms to the same unsettled market sooner.
Discuss: Would an earlier IPO give Anthropic a lasting fundraising edge, or matter less than each company’s ability to turn AI spending into revenue?
