Anthropic seeks $US1.3 trillion valuation from listing

Résumé détaillé

The artificial intelligence giant behind the Claude chatbot is targeting a staggering valuation in its initial public offering

Artificial intelligence giant Anthropic is targeting a massive $US1.3 trillion ($A1.9 trillion) valuation in a stock market listing despite fresh questions about massive amounts of money flowing into the sector.

The company behind the Claude chatbot said in a regulatory filing on Tuesday it would sell 825 million shares priced between $US70 ($A101) and $US78 ($A113) per share.

That would give Anthropic the ability to raise more than $US61 billion ($A88 billion), if the initial public offering (IPO) is priced at the midpoint.

The San Francisco-based company is expected to make its Wall Street debut this month.

Anthropic could wind up being the biggest IPO ever, possibly eclipsing the record $US86 billion ($A125 billion) raised by SpaceX in its IPO in June.

An Anthropic IPO would also put the company ahead of OpenAI in going public, setting the stage for a pair of blockbuster stock debuts by rival AI developers.

The IPO could give Anthropic enormous resources to accelerate its expansion and potentially add billions of dollars to the fortunes of chief executive Dario Amodei and his sister and co-founder, Daniela.

A regulatory filing last month showed Anthropic's revenue is growing rapidly, reaching more than $US16 billion ($A23 billion) in the first half of the year — 14 times its revenue from the same period last year.

But like many other tech companies going public, the company is yet to turn a profit.
