Anthropic has filed for an initial public offering with US regulators, making it the first major AI startup to pursue a stock market debut. The company plans to list on the Nasdaq under the ticker "ANT" by year-end. The filing reveals first-half 2026 revenue of $16.3 billion, up from $1.2 billion in the same period last year, with a net loss of $80.75 billion.
