Recently, the Australian AI firm failed to secure an IPO [1], [2].
OpenAI is looking to go for an IPO despite shaky revenue [3], [4], [5], resulting in a stock drop for companies like Oracle invested in OpenAI [6].
Anthropic is in a similar situation: looking to IPO despite shaky finances [7], [8], [9].
The companies involved are all investing in each other and trading money between them leading to circular investment [10].
