Anthropic 据报道推进 IPO 计划，估值目标面临下压
Anthropic reportedly plans to move forward with IPO plans
据《华尔街日报》报道，Anthropic 正在推进上市计划，本周将设定估值区间，下周四或周五开始交易。部分机构投资者正推动估值低于上周讨论的 1.5 万亿美元目标，该数字已明显低于几个月前传闻的 2 万亿美元。竞争对手 OpenAI 上周以约 1.25 万亿美元估值融资 110 亿美元，低于其最初寻求的 200 亿美元。
引述报道梳理了 Anthropic 的 IPO 时间表和估值下修过程，可与 OpenAI 的融资情况对照观察市场对 AI 热度的定价。
Launching a major tech IPO would seem risky right now, shortly after one of Nasdaq’s biggest sell-offs and amid revelations that a CEO central to the AI boom had an affair with a suspected Chinese spy. But that isn’t deterring Anthropic, which is moving ahead with its listing plans, according to The Wall Street Journal.
Anthropic plans to set a valuation range this week and begin trading on Thursday or Friday of next week, the Journal reported.
Investors will look to Anthropic’s valuation to gauge the strength of the AI boom. Some institutional investors are now pushing for a valuation below the $1.5 trillion target discussed as recently as last week, a figure that was itself considerably below the $2 trillion floated a few months ago, the report said.
OpenAI, Anthropic’s main rival, was reportedly valued at $1.25 trillion last week after the ChatGPT maker raised $11 billion in fresh capital, short of the $20 billion it had initially sought.
