## Summary

Anthropic's IPO filing puts its potential market at $40 trillion a year, based on the estimated 2025 economic value of all knowledge work worldwide. The Wall Street Journal reports the figure tops SpaceX's $28.5 trillion estimate. Anthropic argues frontier AI can raise knowledge workers' productivity and expand that value.

WSJ: Anthropic’s IPO filing sizes its potential market at $40T a year, topping SpaceX’s $28.5T estimate.

Anthropic took the estimated economic value of all work done by knowledge workers worldwide in 2025, which it puts at more than $40T, and treated that whole pool as its market. 

Its argument is that frontier AI can make those workers more productive and so expand that value.
