Anthropic targets record IPO

Anthropic is moving toward a potential public listing that could set a new benchmark for venture-backed tech debuts. The AI company, led by Dario Amodei and founded in 2021 by former OpenAI executives, could publicly file IPO paperwork as soon as this month. One report frames the offering as large enough to challenge SpaceX’s $86 billion IPO valuation record, while another cites a massive $65 billion May funding round that pushed Anthropic’s valuation to $965 billion. Even if the final figures differ, the signal is clear: frontier AI companies are now being priced like core infrastructure platforms, not software startups.
