Anthropic expected to IPO despite market uncertainty, AI slowdown calls

Anthropic is preparing for an initial public offering potentially as early as mid-November, with formal marketing beginning the week of Nov. 9, according to people familiar with the matter. The AI company, which makes the Claude chatbot, is targeting a year-end listing amid strong investor interest despite broader market uncertainty and recent IPO postponements by other companies. Anthropic's prospectus filing has revealed significant financial losses, though the company continues to attract investor demand for its offering.
