AI giant Anthropic has filed for an IPO. Its main competitor OpenAI plans to do the same.

The American company Anthropic, which developed the Cloud artificial intelligence model, has filed an application for an initial public offering (IPO). The company itself announced this.

Anthropic did not specify the timing or size of the IPO, saying it would depend on "market conditions and other factors." The New York Times suggests that the stock exchange could take place as early as this fall.

By filing for an IPO, Anthropic is ahead of its main competitor, OpenAI, the creator of the ChatGPT chatbot, which is also planning to go public. Whichever of the two companies is the first to go public will likely show the best results in the race for funding, NBC News notes .

In addition, at the end of June there will be an IPO of Elon Musk’s SpaceX, which is considered another giant in the field of artificial intelligence.

• Anthropic was created five years ago by a team from OpenAI led by Dario Amodei. In 2026, Anthropic fell out with the Pentagon, but achieved success with its Claude Code programming tools. Its revenue grew almost fivefold (from $10 billion to $47 billion) and its valuation exceeded OpenAI's ($965 billion versus $852 billion).
• The IPOs of Anthropic, OpenAI and SpaceX (valued at more than a trillion dollars) could be among the largest in history.
