Trader consensus on Polymarket slightly favors Anthropic (56% implied probability) to IPO first over OpenAI, driven by Anthropic's straightforward for-profit structure and recent $4 billion funding commitment from Amazon in September 2024, which bolsters its path to public markets amid aggressive scaling of Claude AI models. OpenAI's complex nonprofit-capped governance, despite a $6.6 billion raise valuing it at $157 billion in October, continues to create regulatory and restructuring hurdles, delaying its shift to a pure for-profit entity. Key swing factors include executive statements on timelines—such as Sam Altman's hints at a 2025-2026 IPO—and potential antitrust scrutiny on Microsoft ties; upcoming developer conferences or funding disclosures could shift these closely contested odds.
