OpenAI and Anthropic are now worth less after an AI market slump, just as Anthropic begins pitching investors on a public share sale.
The companies behind ChatGPT and Claude are worth less than they were. Bloomberg Technology reports that a rout in the AI market has cut the value of both OpenAI and Anthropic, and that it is hitting their fundraising. The news lands as Anthropic starts marketing its stock to investors today for an initial public offering, or IPO.
OpenAI makes ChatGPT. Anthropic makes the Claude assistant. Both firms are now valued lower than before the market slump. An IPO is when a private company sells shares to the public for the first time. Anthropic began pitching investors on that sale today.
Bloomberg calls the Anthropic sale a test case for how the market values AI firms. In plain terms, the price investors are willing to pay will show how much faith the public has in the AI business right now.
If you use ChatGPT or Claude at work or at home, this is worth a glance. Lower valuations can lead to tighter budgets and shifting prices for AI tools. Nothing in the reporting says prices will change for any specific product.
Check what you pay for AI tools and avoid long commitments until the market picture settles.
