What is happening
Anthropic PBC, the company behind the Claude AI models, plans to lodge its IPO paperwork around 9 a.m. Monday in New York, said people with knowledge of the timing. Bloomberg News reported the company might kick off formal marketing during the week of Nov. 9. Fox Business reported the filing timing earlier, and representatives for the company did not promptly answer requests for comment.
How big this could be
People familiar with the matter said Anthropic expects the deal to at least match, and potentially exceed, the size of SpaceX's IPO. Paired with those expectations, the company is approaching what could be a landmark market debut.
Market backdrop and risks
AirTrunk, a data center operator, pushed back to next year the initial public offering for a Singapore real estate investment trust, coming just days after the planned IPO from Australian data center company Firmus collapsed. Meanwhile, Anthropic and competitor OpenAI face intensified public examination of AI safety following a string of widely publicized hacks by rogue agents, raising questions about potential impacts on Anthropic's listing.
