No.

OAI is in the process of selling out to the NSA and military.

I don't think Anthropic will be doing the same.

The valuation doesn't just reflect the tech, but the sales of the tech, and between the two Anthropic seems like the one that's going to be more ethical and restrictive.

Look also at revenue - $850m vs $3.5b (from what I could find with a quick search). The numbers change fast, and probably does the valuation.

$850m is revenue projection for end of this year. We don't have actual numbers for now.

Along with the revenue already mentioned I would also argue that the approaches taken differ. OpenAI was quick to get business in the door with the appropriate contracts. Anthropic at least initially, was very coy, wanting you to talk to a sales person, describe your use cases etc.
