AI giant Anthropic is moving closer to a public offering, having submitted a confidential application to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. This move signals the company's intent to eventually list on the stock market.

While the exact number of shares and their pricing have not yet been determined, this filing is a significant step. Anthropic, the creator of the AI tool Claude, recently completed an investment round that raised approximately $600 billion SEK (around $57 million USD) and valued the company at roughly $9 billion USD. This valuation underscores the significant investor interest in the rapidly growing artificial intelligence sector.

The potential IPO by Anthropic comes amid similar preparations by its main competitor, OpenAI, and its founder Sam Altman. Both companies are at the forefront of AI development, and their public market debuts could significantly impact the industry's landscape and investment dynamics.

How many shares will be offered and at what price has not yet been determined.
