据报道,人工智能实验室Anthropic在向美国证券交易委员会提交的S-1文件中披露,截至6月30日,公司持有1124亿美元现金及现金等价物,另有193亿美元短期投资,合计现金规模达1317亿美元。

根据CNBC和标普Capital IQ汇编的数据,这一规模超过了几乎所有非银行类美国公司,仅伯克希尔·哈撒韦和Alphabet例外。截至年中,Anthropic的现金持有量超过亚马逊、SpaceX、Meta和微软,也超过英伟达和苹果之和。

IPO后现金储备或超2300亿美元

报道称,根据其IPO融资规模——有报道称可能超过1000亿美元——Anthropic的现金储备可能增至2300亿美元以上。不过,Anthropic尚未披露具体发行规模细节,并在文件中表示现有投资者也将在IPO中出售股份,这意味着公司本身不会获得全部融资额。相关细节预计将在大约两周内公布。

此前从未有公司在上市时持有接近这一水平的现金。Anthropic的巨额现金储备凸显了其强大的融资能力,使其在成立仅六年内累计获得1410亿美元私募融资。但与此同时,鉴于该公司未来的算力承诺尚未计入其费用,Anthropic将不得不继续通过融资或盈利来积累现金,以履行相关义务。

未来算力承诺开支超5000亿美元

Anthropic上半年的算力和基础设施费用总计89.5亿美元。但该公司表示,其通常提前12至18个月购买算力,并且只有在算力可用时才确认费用。这意味着上半年的费用数字并未反映其未来义务的全部规模。

截至6月30日,Anthropic披露了约3214亿美元的预计未来未贴现租赁义务,以及2656亿美元的预计未来固定或最低担保承诺,合计超过5000亿美元。这些义务将在未来几年内开始履行,期限从一年到二十年不等。

此外,该公司表示,在6月30日之后,其签订了新的和修订后的协议,最低未来付款义务约为2450亿美元。公司尚未披露其最新承诺总额。

报道指出,如果说现金是Anthropic的王牌,那么算力就是其最大的支出项。
