Anthropic Files for $2 Trillion IPO While ChatGPT Parent OpenAI Delays Public Debut

Anthropic filed for its highly anticipated initial public offering on Monday, positioning the Claude AI company for a stock market debut as soon as mid-November that could value it at up to $2 trillion—a striking contrast with OpenAI, the ChatGPT maker, which has postponed its own public plans. The confidential S-1 filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission marks a decisive moment for the AI industry, with Anthropic betting that investors will embrace rapid scaling despite mounting losses and commitments that stretch billions of dollars into the future.
