Early Friday morning Beijing time, Anthropic's journey towards going public entered its final countdown. According to sources familiar with the matter, as preparations accelerate, the company is preparing to publicly submit its IPO application as soon as this month. Claude's developer hopes that this IPO will break funding records. Previously, Anthropic had confidentially filed for an IPO, with investors expecting its valuation to reach $2 trillion or even higher, potentially surpassing SpaceX to become the largest IPO in history. The company's annualized revenue has surged, reaching $65 billion by the end of July, more than six times higher than at the end of last year.
