OpenAI and Anthropic could burn overeager investors in the same way SpaceX did.

Elon Musk’s   SpaceX has developed a prototype for a handset-like device designed to reshape how humans interact with artificial intelligence that SpaceX has shown investors recently. The rocket and AI company showed the prototype, which features a sleek design that is slimmer than an iPhone, to some investors and other stakeholders ahead of the company’s mega initial public offering, according to people familiar with the matter.

Bending Spoons’ listing comes after U.S. IPOs raised a record haul in the first six months of the year.

Bending Spoons is set for its U.S. market debut later on Wednesday after the Italian technology company priced its initial public offering above ‌the range to raise $1.68 billion. The listing will test investor appetite for software companies after ‌the industry was hammered earlier this year over fears that AI could disrupt established business models.

Rakuten, an e-commerce, financial ‌and telecommunications ⁠conglomerate, is in talks with AST SpaceMobile of the ⁠United States to form a joint venture for the project, a Rakuten ​spokesperson said. •Japan ​currently depends ​on SpaceX's Starlink ‌and other services offered by foreign companies for low-orbit satellite communications, and it aims to nurture home-grown operators to boost its economic security.
