SpaceX OpenAI Anthropic IPOs Worth More Than All US Tech IPOs Since 1980

Three AI companies, SpaceX, Anthropic, and OpenAI, have combined valuations of about $5.2 trillion. This is more than the $4.1 trillion total value of all 3,365 US tech IPOs from 1980 to 2025. SpaceX already went public in June at a value near $2 trillion. Anthropic is expected to list soon, while OpenAI has pushed its IPO plans to 2027.

Three AI Stocks Now Dwarf Decades of Tech IPOs

Microsoft OpenAI, Anthropic, and SpaceX reached a combined value of roughly $5.2 trillion. That figure beats the $4.1 trillion first-day value of 3,365 US tech IPOs between 1980 and 2025. SpaceX raised about $75 billion in its June IPO and later hit an intraday record of $225.64. OpenAI is not expected to list in 2026, and Anthropic may offer shares as early as November.

OpenAI Anthropic SpaceX Valuations Could Surpass 45 Years of IPOs

The valuations of OpenAI, Anthropic, and SpaceX may exceed the total value of every US tech IPO since 1980. OpenAI is now targeting an IPO in 2027, while Anthropic is expected to go public next month. The companies' huge values show how much investors believe in AI. Their growth has also boosted firms like Nvidia that supply the chips powering AI models.

Vertiv vs Eaton: Which AI Infrastructure Stock Is the Better Buy

Vertiv and Eaton both benefit from the AI data center boom but take different paths. Vertiv focuses on cooling and power delivery, including its MegaMod HDX liquid cooling platform, and recently spent $1.5 billion to acquire UtilityInnovation Group. Eaton offers broader power management, including an 800 VDC architecture and the Beam Rubin DSX platform built with Nvidia. Vertiv's tighter focus on AI compute infrastructure makes it a more direct play on the trend.

Vertiv vs Eaton: This AI Infrastructure Stock Is the Better Buy

Vertiv and Eaton are two major players in power and cooling for AI data centers. Vertiv has focused on cutting-edge AI infrastructure and sustainable technology, and it has outperformed Eaton in recent years. Eaton has been slower to adopt new AI-focused tools but remains committed to sustainability. Vertiv's stronger innovation, financial performance, and green approach make it the better choice for investors seeking AI infrastructure growth.

HackerOne adds Mythos AI model to find vulnerabilities faster

HackerOne is integrating Anthropic's Mythos AI model into its H1 CTEM platform to help find and fix software vulnerabilities. The company reports that critical vulnerabilities are being fixed 50% faster than last year. However, the backlog of unresolved critical flaws has grown 29 times in the same period. CEO Kara Sprague says organizations need to update their security workflows to keep up with AI-generated code.

Manchester AI firm Saber processes 5 million cases with no sales team

Saber, a Manchester-based AI company, has processed over 5 million cases for regulated firms in under three years. The company was founded in January 2024 by Jakub Lenski and Mitchel Shephard and has grown to a team of 32, mostly engineers. Saber's platform saves 96.3% of time per case and can go live in about two weeks. The company was named UK Technology Startup of the Year in 2026.

Building AI agents is now easier with prebuilt blueprints

Creating AI agents is becoming simpler thanks to preconfigured blueprints from NVIDIA and HPE. These blueprints help organizations build agents that can reason, use tools, and take action without months of custom coding. Examples include agents for extracting data from PDFs, searching enterprise documents, and powering digital customer service avatars. The Town of Vail has already used these tools to automate municipal tasks and save staff time.

Glasgow investor Maven leads 3 million pound defence AI funding

Maven Capital Partners, based in Glasgow, led a 3 million pound investment round for Applied AGI Limited. The company develops AI-powered vision systems that can detect and interpret objects in low-visibility environments for defence and security. Applied AGI works with the UK Ministry of Defence, Royal Air Force, and Leonardo. The funding will be used to grow the engineering team and improve computing infrastructure.

OpenAI calls for global AI safety standards led by US government

OpenAI is urging the US government to lead an international coalition to develop global safety and security standards for AI. This is the first time the company has publicly proposed a global framework for regulating AI development. The call comes as concerns grow about increasingly advanced AI models and the risk of losing human control. The proposal was shared in a blog post published on Monday.

AI financial advice drives Gen Z to human advisors

New York Life research finds AI is pushing Gen Z toward financial professionals, not away from them. A survey of 2,278 adults found 82% rated AI financial guidance as at least good, but only 23% acted on it without validation. More than half of adults believe AI tools don't understand their personal financial situation well. Among Gen Z adults, 40% said AI tools have made them feel a greater need for a human financial professional, compared with 27% of Americans overall.

AI needs independent accident investigators

More than 100 AI experts have called for a new approach to investigating AI incidents, borrowing from the aviation industry. Michael Chatzipanagiotis from the University of Cyprus says independent incident investigators should step in when something goes badly wrong. Currently, regulation often mixes up reporting what happened with investigating why, and companies have good reasons to present problems in the most favorable light. Marius Hobbhahn from Apollo Research says investigators would need training records, incident transcripts, timelines, model weights, and safeguard logs to make a proper assessment.
