Trader consensus on Polymarket assigns Anthropic a 59% implied probability of IPOing first versus OpenAI, driven primarily by Anthropic's cleaner cap table and public market readiness, bolstered by Amazon's $4 billion investment in March 2024 that propelled its valuation to $18 billion. OpenAI faces steeper hurdles from its nonprofit-for-profit structure, Microsoft’s 49% stake, and lingering governance issues from the 2023 Altman ouster, despite a massive $6.5 billion funding round in October 2024 valuing it at $157 billion. Recent catalysts include Anthropic's Claude 3.5 Sonnet launch gaining enterprise traction and Dario Amodei's IPO openness, while OpenAI prioritizes restructuring amid antitrust scrutiny—watch for Q1 2025 developer conferences as resolution triggers.
