## Summary

Anthropic is targeting an IPO in mid-November with a valuation of approximately $2 trillion, according to a Bloomberg report on October 2. The company's draft IPO prospectus, obtained by Reuters, shows 2025 revenue of about $4.6 billion and a net loss of $42 billion, with $34 billion tied to convertible financing. It also reveals future computing resource commitments of approximately $518 billion. Meanwhile, OpenAI canceled the release of its GPT-6.1 Astra model on September 28 for safety reasons, citing internal testing failures. On September 29, OpenAI held its DevDay event with over 20 announcements, including GPT-6.1 Sol and new ChatGPT plans, while six tech executives signed a voluntary safety agreement at the White House. The U.S. FTC reportedly began investigations into OpenAI and Anthropic on September 30 over agent safety incidents.
