Report: Anthropic targets pre-Thanksgiving IPO launch, despite warning of AI’s ‘existential risks’

Artificial intelligence giant Anthropic PBC is reportedly forging ahead with its plans to go public and has set a new target date of Nov. 9, according to a report from Bloomberg that cited anonymous sources familiar with the matter — meaning shares would start trading before Thanksgiving. The company, led by its Chief Executive Dario Amodei (pictured), hopes to begin formally marketing its initial public offering by the week of Nov. 9, but internal discussions about the exact timeline are still ongoing and could yet change. However, Bloomberg’s sources make it clear Anthropic is determined to go public before the end of the year, no matter what.
