Trillion-dollar-valued AI giants stage IPO "race to be first"! Anthropic submits confidentially first, as OpenAI faces a battle for narrative pricing power.

According to the smart finance and economics app, on June 1st, Anthropic announced that it had secretly submitted an IPO registration statement draft to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, surpassing competitor OpenAI (valued at $85.2 billion) with a post-investment valuation of approximately $96.5 billion and seizing a half-step lead in the race to go public. From model competitions to valuation competitions, and now to the competition of submitting IPO filings in advance, the two AI giants are bringing the battle to the public market - this is not only a battle of timing, but also a deep game concerning the pricing power of "cutting-edge AI companies".
