Anthropic is moving ahead with plans to go public, even after one of the Nasdaq's biggest sell-offs and amid revelations that a CEO central to the AI boom had an affair with a suspected Chinese spy. The Wall Street Journal reported the plans.
When will Anthropic begin trading in its IPO?
According to the Journal, Anthropic intends to set a valuation range this week and begin trading on Thursday or Friday of next week. Launching a major tech IPO would seem risky in the current climate, but the company has not been deterred.
What valuation is Anthropic targeting for its IPO?
Investors will use Anthropic's valuation as a measure of the strength of the AI boom, and the number is already moving. Some institutional investors are now pushing for a valuation below the $1.5 trillion target discussed as recently as last week. That target was itself considerably lower than the $2 trillion figure floated a few months ago, the report said.
How does OpenAI's valuation compare?
The company's main rival, OpenAI, offers a reference point. OpenAI was reportedly valued at $1.25 trillion last week after the ChatGPT maker raised $11 billion in fresh capital. That fell short of the $20 billion it had initially sought.
