TechCrunch·medium signal

TechCrunch reports that despite the export-control clash, sales data shows Anthropic surpassed OpenAI in share of enterprise/business AI spending for the first time at the end of May, alongside its $65B raise at a $965B valuation and a confidential IPO filing on its first profitable quarter. The counterintuitive read: the public fight may be net-positive for enterprise trust and demand. For builders evaluating vendor stability, it signals Anthropic's commercial momentum is intact through the controversy.
