Anthropic, known for its Claude AI model and backed by tech giants Amazon and Alphabet, has delayed its initial public offering (IPO). Originally slated for a late-September prospectus, the company has shifted its IPO marketing to mid-October at the earliest. This development coincides with Anthropic securing a reported $15 billion credit facility, which may influence its valuation discussions. The IPO delay is seen as a significant event in the race with competitor OpenAI to reach public markets first. Anthropic’s private valuation was last reported at $965 billion, with pre-IPO discussions suggesting a potential valuation around $2 trillion.
