Report: Anthropic Plans to List Before Thanksgiving, Seeking to Raise Up to $100 Billion
English text is being prepared.
The Financial Times, citing multiple Anthropic investors, reported that Anthropic plans to push ahead with a listing before Thanksgiving on November 26, seeking to raise up to $100 billion, with a valuation range below the $2 trillion some investors had previously hoped for but above the $965 billion of its most recent funding round. JPMorgan plans to hold an information session for potential investors on November 13; the final IPO valuation, the size of the fundraising and the listing date remain undetermined. Financial data shows that Anthropic's third-quarter revenue was about $17 billion, up nearly 50% quarter over quarter, a slower pace of growth; it previously disclosed annualized revenue of about $81 billion.

《金融时报》援引多名Anthropic投资者的消息称，上述估值区间低于部分最乐观投资者此前期望的2万亿美元，但高于该公司最近一轮融资时的9650亿美元估值。美国今年的感恩节为11月26日。
Anthropic是AI助手Claude的开发商。报道指出，摩根大通计划于11月13日为潜在投资者举行一场信息说明会。IPO的最终估值、募资规模及上市时间仍有待确定。
Anthropic推进上市之际，投资者正重新评估科技公司庞大的AI支出及其回报。纳斯达克100指数周四下跌超过6%，周五虽有所反弹，全周仍下跌4.9%。
财务数据显示，Anthropic第三季度营收约为170亿美元，环比增长近50%，但增速有所放缓。该公司此前公布的年化营收约为810亿美元。年化营收是根据近期收入推算的全年水平，并不等同于已经实现的全年营收。
与Anthropic竞逐AI市场的OpenAI也面临融资估值调整。据报道，OpenAI最新融资的估值为1.25万亿美元，低于此前寻求的1.4万亿美元。
