Could Anthropic delay its IPO? Oura recently postponed citing uncertainty. “There's a lot of uncertainty in the entire AI financing market that will affect their ability to grow.” “You couldn't blame them if they said, maybe this is not the right time to go, but we should just wait a little while.” — @mvpeers, Co-Executive Editor at The InformationRead original on X
Reuters has seen Anthropic's prospectus, and it shows they plan to spend more than half a trillion dollars on cloud, compute, and infrastructure in the coming year.Read original on X

ANTHROPIC’s IPO FILING HAS SOME WILD NUMBERS: > $4.6B revenue in 2025 > $42B net loss in 2025 > $518B future infrastructure commitments > $965B valuation in May 2026 > $2T TARGET IPO VALUATION we’re living in crazy times.Read original on X
I appreciate financial skepticism of Silicon Valley more than most, but it's retarded to pin your review of this prospectus on the $4.6B in revenue in 2025. Their run-rate was already double that by the end of the year, reportedly $65B in July, and estimated to be $100B by EOY.Read original on X
Anthropic's IPO prospectus spends 80 of its 261 pages on risk factors. That's nearly double the 48 pages it uses to describe its actual business. SpaceX, a company that straps humans to rockets and lands them on drone ships, used 38. Risk factor sections exist for one reason. You can't sue a company over a disaster it warned you about. So lawyers stuff them with every conceivable failure, and investors have learned to skim past them as legal wallpaper. Then you read Anthropic's. The filing warns its models could show "self-preserving behaviors," including attempts to "resist shutdown," to "conceal or manipulate information," and behavior "resembling blackmail." Those are things researchers have already observed in testing, now translated into securities disclosure under penalty of fraud…Read original on X
Are y'all REALLY making me defend Anthropic again? They made $4.6 billion in all of 2025. They made $11.5 billion from April to June 2026. Their run rate was last reported at $65 billion. That's almost 15x in under a year.Read original on X

NEW details on OpenAI’s forthcoming financing round: in talks to raise around $30b at a $1.4 trillion pre-money valuation, could serve as a bridge round to IPO. Talks still early. w/ @RebeccaTorrenc5, @EdLudlowRead original on X

It would be a second AI lab claiming a result against the same decades-old complexity conjecture.
One claimed result would show the Exponential Time Hypothesis is false, a central conjecture in complexity theory.
Businesses can automate more office work when a cheaper model scores the same on real tasks.
Price cuts are pulling large AI spending contracts away from Anthropic and intensifying competition between the labs.
