Anthropic Files IPO, Plans to Revolutionize Human Endeavors
Confirmed
In Short: Anthropic, the AI firm behind Claude, has filed its IPO paperwork, outlining ambitious plans to transform every area of human endeavor with artificial intelligence.
Anthropic, the AI firm behind Claude, has filed its IPO paperwork with the Securities and Exchange Commission, planning to list on the Nasdaq exchange under the ticker symbol 'ANT'.
According to the filing, CEO Dario Amodei's compensation totaled nearly $18 million in 2025, mostly from stock and option awards.
The filing also reveals significant deals for access to computing power, including a $3.1 billion monthly contract with SpaceX for Nvidia GPUs, totaling up to $120.5 billion by 2029.
In the first half of this year, Anthropic reported an $80.7 billion net loss on $16.3 billion in revenue.
The company warned about the risk of 'catastrophic' AI-related incidents, suggesting no single insurer could underwrite such risk.
A resignation letter from 27-year-old researcher Jacob Coxon has sparked controversy, warning that Anthropic is racing towards self-improving superintelligence, which could exceed human control.
Coxon stated, 'This is not a marketing stunt. Many executives and senior researchers express fear privately.'
He added, 'I resigned from Anthropic today. Neither company is acting responsibly,' referring to both Anthropic and OpenAI.
Coxon emphasized the existential risk inherent in the impending prospect of 'self-improving superintelligence' creating 'superhuman systems that can hack anything, revolutionize any field overnight, and acquire real power and resources.'
In July, an open letter signed by over 1,300 employees at frontier AI companies warned of 'a real risk that capability development rapidly accelerates beyond our ability to understand or control the resulting systems.'
Anthropic spokespersons stated, 'We have always been transparent that AI will bring both enormous benefits and unprecedented risks.'

What's confirmed
- According to the filing, cofounder and chief executive officer Dario Amodei’s compensation totaled nearly $18 million in 2025, most of which came from stock and option awards.
- According to the S-1, in the first half of this year Anthropic had an $80.7 billion net loss on $16.3 billion in revenue.
- The company also warned about the risk of “catastrophic” AI-related incidents, and said it was likely no single insurer — “and potentially the insurance industry in the aggregate” — could underwrite such risk.
- “I resigned from Anthropic today. I spent the last three years doing pretraining research at both OpenAI and Anthropic. Neither company is acting responsibly,” Coxon said.
- “The people building AI earnestly believe that it could kill us all by the end of the decade.” That blunt admission from former Anthropic employee Jacob Coxon made waves Tuesday, as the just-quit 27-year-old AI researcher spilled the beans on his way out the door in a resignation thread on X.
What's still developing
- We believe that AI is one of the most consequential technologies in human history.
- Other commitments include spending $44.9 billion with Microsoft through 2033, at least $114.5 billion with Google through 2033, and $110 billion with Amazon over the next ten years.
- The filing outlines ambitious plans to revolutionize every area of human endeavor with artificial intelligence, according to The Verge.
- An Anthropic researcher has resigned from the company citing fears that AI labs are building systems that could kill human life in just a few years.

- Co-founders Dario and Daniela Amodei lead this endeavor, promising a noteworthy entry into the public market for Anthropic.
- In a significant step forward, Anthropic has filed for a US initial public offering, with hopes for a mid-November listing.
- Anthropic got its start in exactly this way, as OpenAI employees concerned about the company’s safety protocols left Sam Altman’s startup to launch their own AI company, arguing their approach was more responsible.
- He said he personally believes the chance is under 10% over the next decade, and despite Anthropic’s good intentions it doesn’t have a plan to avoid so-called superintelligence that could exceed humans’ ability to control AI.
- Among the representatives were those from OpenAI, Anthropic, Google and Meta, according to multiple sources familiar with the situation.
- For his part, Coxon said the Hugging Face attack should be treated as a “warning shot” that encourages labs in the US and abroad to coordinate on these issues and be prepared to impose a “temporary ban on improving model capabilities” in the worst case (though it’s hard to see how this could be enforced effectively on a global level).
- “Accepting this race and entering the ‘endgame’ is a hubristic gamble,” he wrote.
