## Resource

Two new principals just walked into every room where AI decisions are being made — the federal government and public markets. President Trump signed an executive order on June 2 creating a framework for government pre-release access to frontier AI models. Anthropic picked Morgan Stanley and Goldman Sachs to lead its IPO. OpenAI is targeting a fall IPO. SpaceX filed for the largest IPO in history. Three of your most critical AI vendors are heading to public markets simultaneously. This episode covers what both developments mean for enterprise buyers — the voluntary framework that may not be truly voluntary, and what publicly traded AI vendors mean for your contracts, roadmap commitments, and vendor risk model. Two desk actions: review your Anthropic/OpenAI contracts before the IPO window, and read Sections 2 and 3 of the executive order if you are in financial services, healthcare, critical infrastructure, or defense.
