Anthropic, known for its Claude AI, has achieved a valuation of $1 trillion in the private secondary trading market Forge Global, eclipsing competitor OpenAI's $880 billion valuation. This surge reflects a significant rise in investor interest in artificial intelligence platforms, particularly as investors seek exposure through non-traditional channels due to the lack of public listings for these companies.
