Anthropic, the artificial intelligence startup behind the Claude chatbot, has confidentially filed for an initial public offering (IPO) in the United States. The move positions the company to become one of the biggest AI firms to enter public markets.
Reports suggest Anthropic could debut with a valuation approaching $1 trillion, driven by strong investor enthusiasm for artificial intelligence. Backed by major technology companies and investors, the firm has rapidly expanded its AI offerings and enterprise business.
The confidential filing allows Anthropic to begin regulatory review while keeping financial details private until a later stage.
