Anthropic Could Beat OpenAI to Wall Street by Over a Year

Anthropic has filed its IPO prospectus and could go public before OpenAI, potentially becoming the first pure-play AI frontier lab available to everyday investors. The company showed 1,050% revenue growth to $4.6 billion in 2025 but posted an $8.06 billion operating loss. Anthropic plans to spend $518 billion on infrastructure and computing power in coming years, while OpenAI has delayed its IPO to 2027.
