Named in 4 pieces
Capital & Markets
The AI IPO Window
OpenAI and Anthropic each filed confidential paperwork for an initial public offering in June 2026, a week apart, while Cerebras stalled in registration limbo and Databricks chose a $190 billion private round over a public listing entirely.
Compute & Silicon
The Neocloud Class
CoreWeave turned a March 2025 IPO into a near-$100 billion contract backlog inside a year, and Nebius and Nscale chased the same playbook, proving Nvidia-backed clouds built an asset class hyperscalers now compete against directly.
Capital & Markets
The Year of the Acqui-Hire
OpenAI, Google, Meta, Nvidia and Cognition spent a combined tens of billions in 2025 and 2026 buying companies mainly to secure the specific people running them, a pattern regulators are only beginning to name.
Analysis
Inference Is the Product Now
CoreWeave's backlog hit $104 billion, up 112 percent in a year, while Nvidia earned $89 billion from data centers in one quarter. Both numbers point to a neocloud outgrowing a hyperscaler's AI line by 2028.
