Anthropic targets pre-Thanksgiving IPO despite uncertainty

Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei is pushing for a public offering by Thanksgiving 2026, despite broader IPO market jitters and ongoing AI safety concerns. A leaked filing reveals the company carries an $8 billion operating loss alongside rapid revenue growth. The FTC is reportedly investigating both Anthropic and OpenAI over potential consumer risks. Meanwhile, rival OpenAI has signaled it may wait until next year to go public, and other high-profile IPOs including Oura have recently been postponed or underperformed.
