Anthropic is considering rolling out a new AI model to counter OpenAI's momentum since its launch of GPT-6 Astra, according to three sources, ahead of an expected IPO and after its CEO called for an industrywide slowdown.
The timing of a potential launch aimed at addressing competitive pressure from a direct rival follows Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei's call on the global AI community to slow down the pace of releasing new capabilities to address safety concerns, the sources said.
