Story summary

On October 26, 2026, Anthropic, a leading AI company based in San Francisco, filed papers for what could be the largest initial public offering (IPO) ever, potentially raising up to $100 billion. This filing comes despite CEO Dario Amodei's warnings about the existential risks posed by advanced AI technologies. Anthropic claims that its AI can accelerate scientific innovation and potentially cure diseases like cancer, while also warning of catastrophic risks if the technology is misused or weaponized. The company has been in operation for five years and this IPO could make it one of the world’s most valuable companies, surpassing even SpaceX's record-breaking $86 billion IPO earlier in 2026.
