Anthropic confidentially files IPO prospectus with SEC

Source: CNBC

Anthropic said it confidentially filed its IPO prospectus with the Securities and Exchange Commission, setting up a potentially historic share sale for investors ready to jump into artificial intelligence.

“This gives us the option to go public after the SEC completes its review,” Anthropic said in a statement on Monday. “The proposed initial public offering will depend on market conditions and other factors.”

With its announcement, Anthropic is getting out ahead of rival OpenAI, which is readying its own confidential filing. Elon Musk’s SpaceX has officially filed its prospectus and is gearing up for a roadshow this week, with plans to debut next week.

The company has experienced explosive growth this year, announcing in May that its revenue run rate has ballooned to $47 billion, up from $10 billion in annual revenue last year. Last week, it closed a funding round at a $965 billion valuation, topping OpenAI, which was valued at $852 billion in late March.

AI does not currently work as a scalable business. It has negative gross margins and that problem gets worse with scale. Its “training” is IP theft. A lot of it isn’t even AI, it is hard coded software.

the SEC rules governing the length of time a business has to be in business before being eligible for the stock market.

It is said the SEC is expected to approve their IPOs. As soon as this is done and the stock market investors' money (401k and IRAs) is gone the tech-bros will vamoos to a place where there's no extradition, ala Peter Thiel.
