What happened

Well supportedReported by 7 independent outlets

Anthropic and OpenAI are targeting IPO valuations between $1.5 trillion and $2 trillion, based on their advanced AI models and rapid revenue growth. However, reports indicate that Chinese open-source AI models, which cost less than 50% of US proprietary alternatives, are gaining traction among American enterprise customers. Separately, Microsoft published a draft 'Humanist AI Code of Conduct' for public feedback.
