Anthropic, OpenAI IPO Watch: AI Chiefs Sam Altman, Dario Amodei, Others Reportedly Join Trump At G7 Summit

CNBC reported that Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff and Meta Platforms’ AI chief Alex Wang will also be attending a meeting on the last day of the summit.

• The presence of top AI CEOs at G7 is the latest sign of AI’s rising influence in global diplomacy and policymaking.
• Earlier this week, the U.S. barred Anthropic from providing access to its latest Mythos and Fable 5 AI models to foreign individuals and entities, reigniting calls for sovereign AI, particularly in Europe.
• AI emerged as a major theme at the three-day summit, with discussions ranging from safety-centric development and the U.S. dominance in the field.

Chief executive officers from leading AI firms, including Anthropic and OpenAI, are set to join the G7 summit in Evian, France, on its final day, CNBC reported — the latest sign of artificial intelligence’s rising influence in global diplomacy and policymaking.

OpenAI’s Sam Altman, Anthropic’s Dario Amodei, Google DeepMind’s Demis Hassabis, alongside around a dozen other tech leaders, will take part in a lunch meeting at the summit venue on Wednesday.

CEO France-based Mistral Arthur Mensch, Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff, and Meta Platforms’ AI chief Alex Wang will also be in attendance, according to the report.

AI emerged as a major theme at the summit, with discussions ranging from safety-centric development and the U.S. dominance in the field, according to reports. Discussions also included the military conflict in Ukraine and Iran.

Earlier this week, the U.S. barred Anthropic from providing access to its latest Mythos and Fable 5 AI models to foreign individuals and entities, prompting the company to disable the models entirely. 

The move has reignited calls for sovereign AI, particularly in Europe, where leaders increasingly view dependence on American AI providers as a strategic risk.

OpenAI, Anthropic Racing To IPO

Back in the U.S., investors are closely tracking developments at Anthropic and OpenAI as both companies advance plans to take their shares public, potentially opening the AI boom to a broader pool of investors.

Last week, OpenAI said it had confidentially filed its IPO paperwork with the U.S. securities regulator, joining rival Anthropic. Neither has disclosed the size of its offering.

Meanwhile, a Financial Times report on Tuesday showed mounting losses at OpenAI. The AI giant’s net loss ballooned from $5 billion in 2024 to a staggering $39 billion last year, as it continued to spend heavily on AI model development and securing compute capacity, according to the report, which cited audited financial figures confirmed by its sources.

OpenAI said in March it was clocking $2 billion in monthly revenue, and Anthropic said last month that it had achieved an annual revenue run rate of $47 billion.

On Stocktwits, the retail sentiment was ‘neutral’ for OPEAZZX and ‘bullish’ for ANTHZZX early Tuesday.
