00:00Anthropic just made its next big move. The AI powerhouse behind Claude has confidentially
00:05filed for an IPO with the SEC, and it potentially comes with a staggering price tag. Just last week,
00:11Anthropic closed a massive $65 billion round at a mind-boggling $965 billion valuation,
00:17officially making it more valuable than OpenAI. Silicon Valley royalty like Sequoia and Dragoneer
00:23led the rush alongside multi-billion dollar injections from Google and Amazon. Bloomberg
00:28previously reported that Anthropic was targeting a listing as early as this fall, and this
00:33confidential filing is the clearest sign yet that the clock is ticking. While the company warns that
00:38the final debut will depend on market conditions, the machinery for one of the biggest tech IPOs in
00:43history is officially in motion. Now comes the trillion dollar question, can the public markets
00:48actually sustain that valuation? Anthropic will try and prove it can. The startup claims it's on track
00:53for about $50 billion in annualized revenue and is potentially closing in on its first ever
00:58profitable quarter. With SpaceX debuting later this month, OpenAI also preparing to file, and Anthropic
01:04now officially in the queue. The floodgates for the trillion dollar tech rush are officially open.
