OpenAI seeks to accelerate fundraising ahead of Anthropic IPO: Reuters
- OpenAI is racing to secure commitments for roughly $30 billion before rival Anthropic's expected public market debut in mid-November, according to two people familiar with the matter. The fundraising could value the ChatGPT maker at over $1.4 trillion.
- Market volatility has disrupted IPO plans as Blackstone-backed AirTrunk REIT, Nvidia-backed Firmus, and SoftBank-backed energy companies have paused or pulled listings. Nuclear services company Holtec cited a "perfect storm" driven by data-center demand uncertainty when it withdrew last month.
- OpenAI is pitching investors on growth after launching GPT-6 Astra, citing $50 billion in annualized revenue with expectations to reach $70 billion by year-end. The round targets capital from funds otherwise considering Anthropic's separate offering.
- Investors face the challenge of allocating capital to two complex, competing offerings within weeks. Some existing and prospective Anthropic investors have argued for a valuation closer to $1.5 trillion instead of the desired $2 trillion, citing third-quarter results.
- Cloud provider CoreWeave's shares tumbled last week amid scrutiny of its $50 billion in expansion borrowings. Companies in the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index have shed $1.6 trillion in value, weighing on investor appetite for AI infrastructure plays.
