“OpenAI and Anthropic plan to go public at $1.4 trillion and $2 trillion, respectively. That will make them the 7th and 11th most valuable companies in the world”
Ed Elson
“At a $2 trillion valuation, Anthropic trades at nearly 30 times its revenue run rate. We can't price it against earnings because it doesn't have any.”
