Will Anthropic's IPO go boom or bust?
Notas del episodio
In the few years since its inception, Anthropic has become one of the buzziest companies in tech. In their own words, they’re an AI enterprise that “puts safety at the frontier”. And this week they’re one step closer to going public with one of the biggest initial public offerings of all time, with expectations that they could raise up to $100-billion.
