Anthropic files to go public — Claude maker races OpenAI and SpaceX to IPO

Anthropic, the company behind Claude language models, has confidentially filed for an IPO, joining SpaceX and OpenAI in the race to go public. The company has not disclosed much information yet, such as price targets or the number of shares to be sold. Going public could allow Anthropic's employees to sell equity, potentially benefiting AI researchers and other staff. The company has shifted focus to enterprise users with features like Claude Code and Mythos model, used for security purposes. Anthropic recently surpassed OpenAI in valuation and has emphasized caution with its technologies, notably in a dispute with the Trump Administration.
