This market will resolve to "Anthropic" if Anthropic completes an Initial Public Offering (IPO) before OpenAI completes an IPO by December 31, 2027, 11:59 PM ET, as confirmed by official company announcements and credible news sources. This market will resolve to "OpenAI" if OpenAI completes an Initial Public Offering (IPO) before Anthropic completes an IPO by December 31, 2027, 11:59 PM ET, as confirmed by official company announcements and credible news sources. This market will resolve 50-50 if: - Neither company completes an Initial Public Offering (IPO) by December 31, 2027, 11:59 PM ET; - Both companies complete an IPO on the same calendar date (ET); or - By December 31, 2027, 11:59 PM ET, both companies become unable to complete an IPO, including due to acquisition, merger, or absorption by an entity that is already publicly traded. The IPO refers to the first sale of stock by the listed company to the public on any recognized stock exchange. The resolution source for this market is a consensus of credible reporting.Trader consensus on Polymarket favors Anthropic at 66% implied probability to IPO before OpenAI, driven by recent reports of bankers pitching a potential $60 billion offering as early as Q4 2026, positioning the Claude AI developer for a record-breaking debut amid its $380 billion valuation. This edge sharpened after disclosures just days ago revealed OpenAI CFO Sarah Friar questioning CEO Sam Altman's aggressive 2026 timeline, citing organizational hurdles and massive $600 billion spending plans, introducing internal friction at the ChatGPT pioneer valued over $500 billion. Both AI labs are in preparatory stages without SEC filings, but Anthropic's momentum reflects faster groundwork; watch for S-1 submissions or funding updates as key catalysts in this closely watched frontier model rivalry.
