Trader consensus on Polymarket heavily favors Anthropic remaining independent before 2027, with "No" implying a 90.6% probability, driven by the AI lab's explosive growth and financial fortress. Massive April 2026 investments—Amazon up to $25 billion and Google up to $40 billion upfront—have ballooned its valuation to $350–900 billion, providing ample runway without needing a buyout, while capping Google below 15% ownership sans board seats or voting rights. Anthropic's own acquisitions, like biotech firm Coefficient Bio for $400 million in April and Vercept in February, underscore its aggressor role in AI consolidation. Recent pre-IPO maneuvers, including voiding unauthorized secondary share sales last week, signal autonomy amid IPO preparations possibly by October. Realistic challengers include antitrust scrutiny blocking rivals' bids or a surprise OpenAI merger push, though sky-high pricing deters suitors.
