OpenAI originally aimed to go public before Anthropic, but may now delay its IPO until next year—due to concerns from major investors about its cash burn rate, while Anthropic’s revenue growth has already surpassed OpenAI’s. Being first off the starting line doesn’t guarantee crossing the finish line first. What often determines whether a comeback succeeds isn’t who dashes out ahead, but who can sustain their pace over the long haul. The hardest hurdle for someone starting from behind isn’t a low beginning—it’s managing rhythm and endurance out of sight, where others can’t see. #OpenAI #Anthropic #LongTermThinking
