What happened
Anthropic filed an S-1 document showing that its revenue has soared and its cash flow turned positive in the first half of the year, ahead of a potential IPO expected before Thanksgiving. Meanwhile, OpenAI reduced the target for its latest fundraising round from $30 billion to $20 billion, lowering its expected valuation from $1.4 trillion to $1.25 trillion.

Why it matters
The market is showing signs of pulling back on massive tech spending plans, following a selloff in tech stocks. Anthropic's potential IPO, which could raise up to $100 billion, highlights the intense capital competition in the AI sector.
Global AI trends reveal a growing divide between proprietary development (West) and open-source approaches (East), leading to leadership shifts and efficiency gains through AI agents.
