Anthropic files for IPO — Claude maker races OpenAI and SpaceX to Wall Street

Anthropic has confidentially filed a Form S-1 with the SEC, starting the process for a possible IPO.

The company is keeping key terms private for now, but the filing could pave the way for employee share sales and new capital.

Led by former OpenAI employees, Anthropic has become one of the most valuable AI startups, approaching a $1 trillion valuation.

The move adds to a growing race among major AI-linked firms, including OpenAI and SpaceX, to access public markets.
