The market knows how to price risk \u2014 see SpaceX,\u201d Gerstner posted on X.<\/p>\n<p>Elon Musk\u2019s SpaceX raised a record $85 billion in its June IPO, but its stock has lost around a quarter of its value since peaking at around $202 a share.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere is huge appetite to invest in the AI leaders,\u201d Gerstner added.<\/p>\n<p>\u2013 \u2018Ill-advised\u2019 \u2013<\/p>\n<p>How Anthropic\u2019s IPO performs will also set the tone for OpenAI\u2019s debut next year.<\/p>\n<p>The stakes extend well beyond the two companies themselves, with tech giants including Microsoft, Amazon, Google and Nvidia holding significant stakes in the AI labs.<\/p>\n<p>More broadly, the US economy is increasingly tied to the AI buildout, meaning the success or failure of these IPOs carries weight for the wider economy.<\/p>\n<p>OpenAI CEO Sam Altman said this weekend that the company would delay its own IPO until 2027, citing safety concerns. It\u2019s an \u201cill-advised moment,\u201d Altman said.<\/p>\n<p>Before the recent headlines over AI safety, Altman and executives at OpenAI had already signaled that they were in no hurry to go public this year.<\/p>\n<p>The ChatGPT maker\u2019s dealmaking appears to be running full speed ahead, nonetheless.<\/p>\n<p>OpenAI is in talks with investors about raising a new round of funding with a valuation of at least $1.2 trillion before it goes public, while Anthropic might seek a $2 trillion valuation in an IPO that could happen as early as October, according to various reports.<\/p>\n<p>Leaders inside OpenAI have been concerned about investor skittishness, broad market uncertainty and SpaceX\u2019s underwhelming stock performance, according to media reports.<\/p>\n<p>\u2013 \u2018Massive\u2019 \u2013<\/p>\n<p>Also weighing on executives\u2019 minds is a proposal by both companies to slow down development, given recent incidents involving AI technology going rogue.<\/p>\n<p>OpenAI CFO Sarah Friar dismissed the idea that a slowing of pace in releasing state-of-the-art technology would impact the company\u2019s core business and revenue growth.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEven if we stop today, the amount of intelligence that\u2019s available in the world is massive,\u201d Friar told CNBC on Tuesday.<\/p>\n<p>Anthropic also pushed back on the idea that being safety-minded would compromise the IPO.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI would say safety has been the core of who we are from the very beginning,\u201d Anthropic\u2019s head of policy, Sarah Heck, said at a Politico conference on Wednesday. \u201cOur investors know that.
