Anthropic has made a significant move towards its initial public offering (IPO) by filing a draft registration statement with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), positioning itself ahead of OpenAI. According to data from Kalshi, a prediction market platform, bettors are overwhelmingly favoring Anthropic, assigning a 76% probability to its IPO occurring first, compared to a mere 29% for OpenAI. This competitive landscape is heightened by OpenAI's own preparations to launch a revamped version of its ChatGPT platform, which aims to evolve into a 'superapp' by integrating advanced coding tools and AI agents. OpenAI's Codex, which has amassed over five million weekly active users, will play a pivotal role in this transformation, steering users towards tasks such as coding and image generation. Furthermore, OpenAI intends to offer the U.S. government early access to its new AI models, reflecting its commitment to collaboration with federal authorities. As these two AI giants race towards their public debuts, the market is keenly watching their next moves.
