About this episode

The episode discusses Anthropic's confidential IPO filing and features an interview with Softbank CEO Masayoshi Son on the A.I. revolution.

Anthropic is joining the A.I. IPO race, filing confidentially following last week’s latest funding session revealed the company being valued at close to $1tn. However, Open AI’s Sam Altman tells CNBC he is not rushing to list his company. We speak exclusively to Softbank CEO Masayoshi Son who says the A.I. revolution is the biggest mankind has ever experienced. President Trump tells CNB he is unfazed whether peace talks with Iran are over and expresses frustration with the lack of progress in ‘boring’ negotiations. Trump said Israeli troops are retreating home from Lebanon following a call with Prime Minister Netanyahu. Berkshire Hathaway CEO Greg Abel invests a further $10bn into Alphabet after the tech giant raised $80bn for its AI infrastructure.
