The timing of Jensen Huang’s dramatic exit has thrown new pressure on Anthropic’s hotly anticipated IPO.

On Fortune Daily, Allie Garfinkle breaks down why investors and analysts don’t expect the Nvidia shake-up to hurt Anthropic’s core business, and why it could still complicate the broader AI narrative.

00:00I have been walking around basically asking two questions to every source I can find.
00:04What does this mean for startups in a world after Jensen?
00:07And what does this mean for the Anthropic IPO that's scheduled for next week?
00:10In terms of Anthropic, what I'm hearing is it's still a go.
00:14In fact, I had somebody make the case that Anthropic is actually a beneficiary.
00:17This is its own conversation.
00:19But Anthropic and NVIDIA have sort of a long-standing beef that ties back to Jensen and Dario.
00:24The short version is that Dario is a China hawk and they have run into quite a bit of consternation
00:31around that.
00:31There is a sense that of all the companies that we're talking about in this equation,
00:35maybe no one relies on NVIDIA less than Anthropic.
00:38They are building their own chips.
00:39There actually aren't that many supply chain concerns.
00:42One investor I was talking to this morning sort of said, actually, this is great for them.
00:47They actually are more poised than ever to go public next week,
00:50which I was surprised by because the thing I have been wondering about is,
00:53does this put a damper on the whole AI boom if the face of it is gone?
00:57There are, I suppose, though, other faces.
