Bloomberg: Margin calls on leveraged AI positions in Asia, plus broker warnings that the unwinding may continue, suggest valuations could fall further before these deals close.
Anthropic’s IPO buyers are discussing a valuation as low as 2T and a $965B private round.
OpenAI cut its fundraising goal from 1.4T to about 1.25T, and has about $11B committed so far.
Investors pushed Nscale’s IPO valuation from a requested 16B to $19B range, so the repricing reaches beyond the 2 largest model makers.
