Anthropic PBC has confidentially submitted draft paperwork for a public listing as it races longtime rival OpenAI to make a Wall Street debut as soon as this fall. “The number of shares to be offered and the price have not yet been set,” the company said in a blog post Monday. Anthropic, OpenAI and SpaceX are all moving ahead with listing plans to open a powerful channel for potential fundraising. While funding in the private market has grown by leaps and bounds, a public listing gives the companies access to the widest possible range of investors. It also gives early backers and employees the ability to more easily monetize their stakes. Anthropic recently raised $65 billion in a funding round at a $965 billion valuation, including the investment, eclipsing rival OpenAI’s value for the first time. Anthropic has seen a surge in demand as customers look to use its tools to streamline coding and other tasks. Founded in 2021 by a group of former OpenAI employees, Anthropic has since emerged as a leader in the AI sector. Anthropic has developed a series of AI tools aimed at overhauling the way businesses handle tasks from coding to cybersecurity. Anthropic and rival OpenAI have been one-upping each other in recent months. Rival OpenAI itself was said to be preparing its own confidential filing for an initial public offering in the coming weeks and was targeting a public debut sometime in the fall, Bloomberg reported in May. Goldman Sachs Group Inc., JPMorgan Chase & Co. and Morgan Stanley are expected to be under consideration for key roles on Anthropic and OpenAI’s listings, people familiar with the matter have said. Getting out first could give Anthropic more attention and capital from a greater pool of investors.

Every weekday, the CNBC Investing Club with Jim Cramer holds a "Morning Meeting" livestream at 10:20 a.m. ET. Here's a recap of Monday's key moments. 1. Stocks opened lower Monday as oil prices climbed. "It's Iran that's controlling the opening," Jim said. Reports indicated that Iranian negotiators halted communications with the U.S., while U.S. Central Command said American forces intercepted two Iranian ballistic missiles targeting U.S. personnel in Kuwait. The rise in crude weighed on consumer and discretionary stocks, though strength in several technology names helped cushion the broader market. 2. Club holding Nvidia rose 4% Monday after CEO Jensen Huang unveiled a series of new AI initiatives at the Computex conference in Taiwan. The gains helped reverse Friday's slight decline, which Jim attributed to short-term trading dynamics rather than any deterioration in the company's fundamentals. Jim said Nvidia's push into PC processors reinforces the company's long-term growth story. "This is a paradigm shift," he said. Jim also argued that Nvidia's latest announcements show AI infrastructure spending is generating real returns. "Compute equals money," he said. Monday's rally, alongside gains in Club name Arm Holdings , strengthened his conviction that investors are beginning to refocus on Nvidia's next phase of growth. 3. Monday marked the first trading day for FedEx Freight following its spin from Club holding FedEx . Jim said the separation should unlock value for both companies over time. He argued FedEx Freight had been a "starved company" that lacked the resources it needed as management focused on the broader FedEx business. Meanwhile, Jim said FedEx can benefit from shedding what he described as a drag on the parent company. "FedEx itself will rally, because it doesn't have the hangover of this one particular company," Jim said. While he expects some volatility following the spinoff, Jim remains optimistic about the prospects for both businesses. FedEx Frei...

When the Steam Deck OLED launched three years ago, we were glad to see that the new, more brilliant screen fixed the biggest flaw of Valve's original handheld hardware. So we're unsurprisingly excited about today's announcement that Asus is preparing a new, OLED-equipped ROG Xbox Ally X20 for the coming holiday season. Still, it's a bit worrying that Asus is positioning the new upgrade as a niche collector's item rather than its new handheld gaming standard. The X20 expands the 7-inch screen found on last year's ROG Xbox Ally line to 7.4 inches, matching the display on the Steam Deck OLED and approaching the 7.9-inch screen on the Switch 2. The 1080p HDR panel also increases the maximum brightness from 500 nits on original Xbox Ally models to a full 1400 and adds some new anti-glare coating that should help when playing in direct sunlight. The X20's 120 Hz display now supports Dolby Vision HDR colors and FreeSync Premium Pro to help smooth frame rates while still providing a larger color gamut. On the control front, the X20 introduces magnetic TMR thumbsticks , replacing the carbon-film potentiometers that made the original Xbox Ally more prone to stick drift and physical wear. A new d-pad on the X20 also introduces a neat little lift-and-twist design that can transform it from a four-direction cross to a more circular eight-direction pad, similar to the convertible d-pad found on some now-classic Xbox 360 controllers .

The state of Florida sued OpenAI and Chief Executive Officer Sam Altman , accusing the artificial intelligence company of ignoring safety warnings and releasing a product that is harmful to users. The lawsuit , filed Monday in state court, accuses OpenAI of violating product liability laws, and also raises negligence and deceptive and unfair trade practices claims. Florida is seeking civil penalties, and a court order for the company to stop collecting certain data from users under the age of 13 without parental consent. “Sam Altman and ChatGPT have chosen the AI race over the safety and security of kids,” Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier said during a press conference. “They have chosen profit over public safety. We’re not going to stand for it here in Florida.” The complaint appears to be the first of its kind filed by a state against OpenAI, although the ChatGPT maker is facing a series of lawsuits filed by individuals claiming a range of harms on children and adults alike. Some cite growing delusions with extended use, while others say it led to death by suicide and even murder-suicide . The new lawsuit filed by Florida is separate from a criminal probe initiated by the state in April over possible liability for the company after authorities said ChatGPT was used in a mass shooting at Florida State University. OpenAI has said it wasn’t responsible for the tragedy and said it is cooperating with the investigation. “This litany of harms is driven by defendants’ insatiable quest to win the AI arms race and amass large fortunes, despite knowing the danger of ChatGPT,” the state said in its lawsuit. “Left unabated, defendants’ conduct will continue to threaten the health and safety of Florida residents.” OpenAI did not immediately respond to a request for comment about the lawsuit. The company has denied wrongdoing in past litigation covering similar issues, maintaining that safety is a priority and that they have taken steps to improve ChatGPT’s training to r...
