The American company Anthropic, which developed the cloud AI model, has filed for an initial public offering (IPO). About this I mentioned The company itself.
Anthropic did not specify the timing or size of the IPO, saying it would depend on “market conditions and other factors.” New York Times PresumablyEntry into the stock exchange could take place this fall.
By filing for an IPO, Anthropic beats out its main competitor, OpenAI, creator of the ChatGPT chatbot, which is also planning to go public. Whichever company first goes public is likely to do better in the race for funding. Notes NBC News.
In addition, at the end of June there will be an IPO for Elon Musk’s SpaceX, another giant in the field of artificial intelligence.
Anthropic was created five years ago by a team at OpenAI led by Dario Amodei. In 2026, Anthropic has a falling out with the Pentagon, but has had success with its Claude Code programming tools. Its revenues grew nearly fivefold (from $10 billion to $47 billion) and its valuation surpassed that of OpenAI ($965 billion vs. $852 billion).
The IPOs of Anthropic, OpenAI, and SpaceX (valued at more than $1 trillion) could be among the largest in history.
