Anthropic, the AI developer behind the Claude assistant, has issued invitations for an October 14 investor gathering at its San Francisco headquarters — effectively firing the starting gun on what could become the largest initial public offering (IPO) in history, with prospective investors pegging a fair valuation between $1.8 trillion and $2 trillion.
That range would surpass SpaceX's (SPCX) record-setting $1.77 trillion listing in June, a threshold that has galvanized institutional interest but also sharpened scrutiny of the staggering financial commitments underpinning Anthropic's growth.
