AI startup Anthropic is preparing for what could become one of the largest initial public offerings (IPOs) in history, potentially beating OpenAI to the public markets. The company has reportedly hired law firm Wilson Sonsini to assist with IPO preparations, with a potential listing as early as 2026.
Anthropic is currently in talks for a private funding round that could value the company at over $300 billion. The move signals intensifying competition among AI firms to secure capital and market positioning ahead of anticipated public debuts.
