June 1 (UPI) -- Artificial intelligence company Anthropic confidentially filed Monday for an initial public offering with the Securities and Exchange Commission, joining SpaceX and OpenAI in plans to go public this year.
"This gives us the option to go public after the SEC completes its review," Anthropic said in a statement, CNBC reported. "The proposed initial public offering will depend on market conditions and other factors."
That makes three prominent companies with IPO plans in 2026. SpaceX plans to debut next week, while OpenAI is preparing to file. Anthropic's filing did not give any further information on timing, but it could go public as soon as this fall, The New York Times reported.
Last week, Anthropic passed OpenAI in valuation, reporting $965 billion as opposed to OpenAI's $852 billion reported in March, CNBC reported. The company, based in San Francisco, is the creator of the Claude chatbot and the Claude Mythos Preview AI model. It has a focus on software coding.
