Anthropic's IPO filing reveals $2 trillion valuation target and $16.3 billion revenue

Anthropic filed Monday for an initial public offering that could become the largest in history, with a reported potential valuation of up to $2 trillion, surpassing SpaceX's record $86 billion IPO from June. The AI lab behind the Claude chatbot aims to raise as much as $100 billion. The 335-page prospectus reveals first-half revenue of $16.3 billion, roughly 14 times the same period last year, alongside $80.7 billion in net losses, including a one-time $72.4 billion accounting charge. The company holds $131.7 billion in cash and lists 250 customers each generating over $10 million annually. Anthropic's filing includes 93 pages of risk factors, citing potential "catastrophic or existential risks to humanity" from advanced AI. Co-founders, led by CEO Dario Amodei, will retain 50.1% voting power. The IPO precedes OpenAI's planned debut next year.
