Anthropic, one of the hottest AI startups, just filed paperwork to go public — beating OpenAI to the punch. At the same time, a company called IREN landed $3.65 billion to build AI computing infrastructure for Microsoft, and Nvidia unveiled a new chip that's sending its stock higher.

## Idea

Anthropic's IPO filing is a watershed moment — it tells investors that the AI boom isn't just hype, there are real businesses generating real money here. When a major startup goes public, it tends to lift the whole sector because investors who can't buy the IPO will pour money into the next-closest public companies instead. IREN is a perfect example: they just secured $3.65 billion specifically to build the computing power that companies like Microsoft and Anthropic need. That's real contracted revenue, not speculation. Meanwhile Nvidia keeps making new chips and hitting new highs, which sets the tone for the entire group.
