About AnthropicIPODelayed
Anthropic prévoit de reporter son introduction en bourse d’octobre à novembre, possiblement jusqu’après les élections de mi-mandat américaines, bien que le calendrier reste incertain. Le chiffre d’affaires annualisé devrait dépasser 100 milliards de dollars d’ici la fin de l’année, contre environ 65 milliards de dollars fin juillet, alors que la capacité de calcul s’étendra à ~5 GW. Certains investisseurs envisagent une valorisation potentielle d’environ 2 000 milliards de dollars. La cotation testerait si une croissance rapide peut soutenir des dépenses d’investissement importantes et une valorisation premium, en mettant l’accent sur le calendrier, la tarification et la croissance des revenus finale.

#AnthropicIPODelayed Anthropic may be choosing timing over speed 👀
Its IPO could slip from October to November as annualized revenue reportedly races from ~$65B toward $100B and compute capacity expands to ~5 GW.
What caught my attention is the rumored ~$2T valuation. At that level, investors won't just be buying growth. They'll be betting that massive compute spending eventually produces massive cash flow.
A delay buys Anthropic time. It also raises the bar.
Not just usage, but actual dollar spend for Anthropic is also steadily declining 👇
Imagine planning a $2 trillion IPO when you want to slow down as you are losing market share 🤡

Looks like today may be a record day for token volume % of open models on Vercel AI Gateway:
🟦 Open 78.4% 🟨 Closed 21.6%
While spend 💲 usually tells a different story, #3 and #4 today are Moonshot AI & DeepSeek. Adding Z.ai, their combined spend surpasses OpenAI (#2).
(Do note that's the spend for inference of the model across providers (mostly in the US), not revenue going directly to the open weight labs.)
This doesn't add up.
Anthropic is reportedly preparing a new AI model to counter OpenAI's GPT-6 Astra, per Reuters.
Meanwhile, its CEO Dario Amodei publicly called for the entire AI industry to slow down just one week ago.
Anthropic is also reportedly targeting the LARGEST IPO in history at a $2 TRILLION valuation, looking to raise up to $100 BILLION.
JUST IN: Anthropic considers launching new Claude AI model to counter OpenAI's GPT-6 Astra.
• This comes after Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei called to slowdown AI development, citing safety concerns.
• Anthropic is expected to go public in November at an estimated $2 trillion valuation, making it one of the largest IPOs in history.
Anthropic's reported IPO delay matters less than the numbers investors eventually see. Annualized revenue is expected to climb from about $65B in late July to above $100B by year-end as compute capacity reaches roughly 5 GW, but that expansion also sharpens the focus on capital intensity.
At a potential $2T valuation, even exceptional growth would leave little room for disappointment. Timing remains unconfirmed.

Anthropic might be about to pull off one of the biggest IPOs ever.
According to the WSJ, the company is planning to go public as soon as November, despite ongoing concerns around AI safety and how quickly these models are being deployed.
The numbers being discussed are insane:
→ Potential $2 TRILLION valuation
→ Could raise as much as $100 BILLION in the offering
→ Expected to surpass $110 BILLION in annualized revenue by year-end
For context, Anthropic was still considered one of OpenAI’s smaller competitors not that long ago.
Now it could enter the public markets as one of the most valuable companies on earth.
And if those revenue numbers hold, the speed at which AI companies are scaling might be unlike anything we’ve seen in tech before.
An Anthropic IPO at $2T would be a massive moment for the entire AI industry.
Anth showed anxieties from this “slow down”: Today it delayed the IPO and announced the partnership with Accenture:
Seems like they are raising the urgency to gaining the enterprise revenue to avoid showing a mediocre growth number
in the IPO.

Yipit's data shows lame Anth's ARR at $70B vs. $65B last month, with MoM growth down from $8B to $5B. Meanwhile, OAI is accelerating at $43B ARR and $5B MoM. This doesn't even count the fast adoption of astra as it launched after.
OAI's talent profile and AI capex moat will help them retake the throne of enterprise market and surpass Anth ARR pretty soon.
My guess is Mr. Dario will be forced to resign as CEO before the IPO and take the chairman of board as a mascot.
