Anthropic's IPO prospectus reveals AI ambitions and $42 billion loss

thestar.com.my —

Anthropic's IPO prospectus reveals a bet that AI will transform the global economy more profoundly than industrialization, electricity, and the internet, alongside staggering costs including a $42 billion net loss in 2025. Revenue grew 12-fold to nearly $4.6 billion in 2025, but operating losses exceeded $8 billion, with plans to spend $518 billion on infrastructure. The sale could value the company at over $2 trillion, establishing a benchmark for AI valuations. Anthropic faces competition from OpenAI and concerns about AI safety, with CEO Dario Amodei calling for slower capability releases. The IPO is expected after November's US midterm elections, following SpaceX's recent $1.77 trillion debut.
