Jim Cramer identified three lingering questions about Anthropic ahead of its highly anticipated IPO.
As Anthropic's blockbuster initial public offering gets set to take center stage on Wall Street, CNBC's Jim Cramer argued Thursday that several questions remain about the artificial intelligence startup's long-term prospects.
