When?

Right? This is going to be an interesting story to follow.
On the one hand, they don’t want to IPO right now, probably because they don’t think investors are keen to buy at the price they’re asking.
On the other hand, I don’t really see things getting better for them as long as cheap open-weight models that are almost as good as Anthropic’s exist. As more people figure this out, I think it’s going to get worse not better. So I don’t think they can afford to wait long.

Does anybody believe that the investors do not know it?

I think it’s going to go like a crypto lauch–people buying in as soon as possible to drive up the price and sell to the rubes a few microseconds later.
4 trilliion dollars will exchange hands and after 4 minutes, it will be a junk stock.
