AI company Anthropic sees revenue jump ahead of IPO

AI developer Anthropic has experienced a sharp increase in revenue, reporting 11.6 billion dollars in the second quarter and achieving adjusted profitability in the third. The company is preparing for an initial public offering expected around November 26, while rival OpenAI has postponed its own market entry plans.

Artificial intelligence company Anthropic has reported a significant surge in revenue throughout the year, with figures rising from 4.7 billion dollars in the first quarter to 11.6 billion dollars in the second. Insiders indicate that the company, which produces the AI chatbot Claude, achieved adjusted profitability during the third quarter. Financial reports suggest a strong return on investment, with the company earning 1.70 dollars for every dollar spent on computing power, as investors project annual revenue could reach 110 billion dollars by year-end.

Following previous delays, Anthropic is currently preparing for an initial public offering scheduled for late November, specifically around the Thanksgiving holiday. This move contrasts with competitor OpenAI, the creator of ChatGPT, which has decided to postpone its own market debut. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman recently noted that the company does not view this as an appropriate time for a public offering due to various ongoing safety considerations, setting the stage for a competitive gap between the two major AI developers.
