Sept 28 (Reuters) - Anthropic's IPO prospectus, reviewed by Reuters, laid out a sweeping vision in which [AI](https://tech.yahoo.com/ai/) would reshape the global economy more profoundly than industrialization, electricity and the internet, as the Claude maker moved closer ‌to what could be the first listing by a frontier AI lab.

ANTHROPIC
Anthropic revealed in June that it had confidentially filed for a US IPO, setting the stage for what could become a watershed moment for Wall Street's AI frenzy.
The AI heavyweight is seeking to raise as much as $100 billion that could value the artificial intelligence startup at around $2 trillion, Reuters has reported.
Anthropic posted a net loss of $42 billion in 2025 and ‌is planning to spend $518 billion on cloud, computing ⁠and infrastructure obligations in coming years, according to its IPO prospectus seen by Reuters.
The Claude maker could push its IPO to after the November US midterm elections, with the elections not expected to ⁠have a major impact on the offering, Reuters reported in September.
The IPO has already been pushed back from earlier plans, with Reuters previously reporting that marketing was expected to begin in mid-October at the earliest.
Anthropic raised $65 billion at a post-money valuation of $965 billion in late May, putting it ahead of rival OpenAI.
