Anthropic uses its IPO letter to renew its pledge that Claude will never show ads

The ad ban falls under the letter's second category, which puts company values above profit. As another example, Anthropic cites Claude Mythos Preview, then its most powerful model, whose advanced cyber capabilities posed high risks. Adding extra safeguards delayed its release as Claude Fable 5, costing Anthropic revenue and market share against rivals, while the company also gave cyber defenders about $100 million in free Claude credits. As future models grow stronger, Anthropic expects more decisions that forego maximum profit.
