Anthropic is reportedly planning to go public in September or early October and is holding pre-IPO meetings with potential investors.

August 11th - According to The Wall Street Journal, Anthropic is meeting with potential investors to boost confidence in what could be the largest IPO ever. The $965 billion artificial intelligence giant is facing a series of new challenges, including the rise of low-cost AI systems, strained relations with the Trump administration, and increasing opposition to data center construction across the United States. Sources familiar with the matter revealed that in recent weeks, investors have raised many such questions to Anthropic executives in pre-IPO meetings, inquiring about how these factors might impact the company's growth. This reflects significant uncertainty about who will win the AI race and the financial stability underpinning the competition.

According to sources, company executives downplayed the impact of low-cost AI system competition in the meetings, telling investors that Anthropic is heavily focused on delivering cutting-edge AI models. Sources revealed that Anthropic is planning to go public in September or early October but has not yet disclosed specific pricing plans or timing. Attendees mentioned that during the meetings, Anthropic informed some investors of plans to further expand into the medical, health, and biological AI application fields.
