Key points
- Anthropic reported Q3 revenue of $16.8 billion, up from $11.5 billion in Q2 and $4.7 billion in Q1.
- Anthropic may file its IPO paperwork as early as Friday and target a mid‑November listing.
- OpenAI postponed its 2026 IPO, seeking a $30 billion private round at a $1.4 trillion valuation.
OpenAI, by contrast, has postponed its planned 2026 IPO and is now seeking a private funding round of about $30 billion at a $1.4 trillion valuation, according to Reuters. CEO Sam Altman told Fortune that going public now would be “ill‑advised” given rising AI risk concerns and the company’s split nonprofit‑for‑profit structure. OpenAI’s operating loss widened to $12.3 billion in Q2, with revenue of $6.7 billion, while Anthropic reported $11.6 billion for the same period. OpenAI still expects a public listing in 2027, though Altman did not commit to a specific year.
