Anthropic IPO launch shifts toward mid-October, sources say
ANTHROPIC is expected to begin marketing its initial public offering in mid-October at the earliest and complete the listing days before the US midterm elections in November, people familiar with the matter said on Friday (Sep 4). The artificial intelligence company had been expected to make its IPO prospectus public as early as next week, two of the people said, a crucial step that would kick off the final stages of the offering. Now that it is not expected until late September, the people added, cautioning that the plans, including the timing, are subject to change. The shift pushes back what some investors have said could be a US$2 trillion listing, one of the largest IPOs ever attempted and a major test of public-market appetite for the rapidly growing AI industry. Companies frequently adjust their IPO schedules as they work through market conditions, regulatory reviews and other preparations, so such changes are not unusual. As part of the IPO process, Anthropic is looking to finalise a US$15 billion revolving credit facility, after which analysts, including those at banks involved in the financing, are expected to meet with the company, one of the people said. Bloomberg earlier reported that Anthropic was in talks to expand the facility to US$15 billion. Companies typically leave a few weeks between analyst meetings and making the IPO prospectus public, although Anthropic is expected to have a tighter window because analysts already know the company well, the person said. Anthropic declined to comment. The offering is expected to be one of the most closely anticipated IPOs ever, as investors look to public markets for exposure to the rapidly growing artificial intelligence industry. It could come alongside potential listings from other AI companies, including OpenAI. Elon Musk's SpaceX went public in June at a record US$1.77 trillion valuation. Morgan Stanley, Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan and Citi are among the banks working with Anthropic on the IPO, according to people familiar with the matter. The banks declined to comment. REUTERS

Anthropic Is Reportedly Gearing Up for an IPO This Year That Could Be Bigger Than SpaceX. 3 Things Investors Should Know.
Anthropic, the parent company of the large language model (LLM) family known as Claude, is reportedly preparing for an initial public offering that could happen as soon as later this month or in October, according to various media outlets. The company confidentially filed for an IPO back in June. It would mark the second monster artificial intelligence (AI)-related IPO since Space Exploration Technologies went public in June, raising nearly $86 billion at a $1.77 trillion valuation, in the largest IPO ever. Missed Nvidia in 2009? This Rare Signal Is Flashing Again. In 2009, a "Double Down" signal flashed for a little-known chipmaker called Nvidia. For the first time in years, that same "Total Conviction" signal is flashing for a company 1/100th the size of Nvidia. Continue " Given the amount of interest and hype surrounding this company and this topic, Anthropic could surpass SpaceX in total funds raised and valuation. Here are three things investors should know. 1. Anthropic may try to raise as much as $100 billion at a $2 trillion valuation As if SpaceX didn't go big enough, Anthropic will reportedly attempt to top it by raising up to $100 billion at a valuation as high as $2 trillion. This is, of course, no guarantee, as even SpaceX faced some pushback, despite its successful raise. SpaceX's stock has also been up and down since the IPO, as investors worry about the high valuation, the intense capital expenditures required by the business, and the future release of additional shares into the market. Whether Anthropic can reach a $2 trillion valuation will depend in part on the financials reported in its registration statement. The company reportedly doubled revenue in the second quarter to $11.6 billion and reported positive adjusted operating income, though I'm sure investors will be curious to see the adjustments. The Financial Times also reported that investors in Anthropic believe that annualized revenue could reach $120 billion by the end of this year. 2. Anthropic could be targeting a $30 trillion TAM Perhaps one of the most surprising figures in SpaceX's registration statement was its $28.5 trillion total addressable market (TAM), essentially the opportunity at play for the company. The bigger the TAM, the bigger the revenue potential. Citing anonymous sources, The Wall Street Journal recently reported that Anthropic is supposedly eying a $30 trillion TAM. Investors should be skeptical of TAMs, but the sheer size of SpaceX's TAM seemed to excite the market, even if it rested on some pretty spectacular assumptions.
Anthropic IPO Delayed, Pre-Midterm Listing Planned
Prospectus delayed to late September, listing expected before November midterms The initial public offering (IPO) schedule for artificial intelligence (AI) company Anthropic is expected to be delayed by about a month compared to the original plan. As the disclosure of the investment prospectus has been postponed to late September, the actual listing process is likely to conclude just before the U.S. midterm elections on November 3. According to Reuters on the 4th (local time), multiple sources reported that Anthropic has postponed the disclosure of its IPO investment prospectus, which was originally scheduled to be released early next week, to late September. As a result, Anthropic is expected to begin IPO marketing as early as mid-October. The listing process is projected to conclude between late October and early November. If the schedule proceeds as planned, the company will enter the New York Stock Exchange just days before the midterm elections. However, the specific timeline remains subject to change. Anthropic is currently coordinating a $15 billion revolving credit facility alongside its listing preparations. Once the credit facility terms are finalized, financial analysts from the underwriting banks are expected to meet with Anthropic's management. Typically, several weeks pass between such meetings and the disclosure of the investment prospectus, but observers note that Anthropic's analysts may expedite the process as they are already familiar with the company's situation. Anthropic began IPO preparations in June by submitting confidential documents to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Market expectations suggest the company's valuation could reach up to $2 trillion following the listing. Growth trends supporting these valuation expectations continue. As of July, Anthropic's annualized revenue reportedly exceeded $65 billion, surpassing competitor OpenAI's annualized revenue of $40 billion. Profitability has also improved. In the second quarter of this year, Anthropic recorded its first profit since inception based on adjusted operating profit. Investors have been informed that revenue could reach up to $200 billion by 2028. If the year-end listing succeeds, Anthropic will enter the public market before competitor OpenAI, which plans to proceed with its IPO next year. Analysts suggest this could influence the competition for market leadership among AI companies. The IPO underwriters include Morgan Stanley, Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan, and Citigroup. These banks did not respond to Reuters' requests for comment.

Musk's xAI loses court bid to block Minnesota's AI 'nudification' ban- Moneycontrol.com
Minnesota's first-in-the-nation ban on AI-generated fake nude images will remain in effect as a constitutional challenge by Elon Musk's xAI proceeds, after a federal judge on Friday declined to block the law at an early stage of the case. Musk's xAI company argues the measure restricts free speech protected by the U.S. Constitution, while Minnesota says the law is narrowly tailored to curb the spread of nonconsensual sexual imagery created with artificial intelligence. U.S. District Judge Donovan Frank rejected xAI's request for a preliminary injunction against the law, which took effect on August 1 and prohibits website operators, software developers and others from allowing users to "nudify" images of identifiable people using AI technology. Frank's order said xAI failed to show it would suffer harm while it pursues a lawsuit alleging the new law violates the Constitution's First Amendment by restricting protected expressive activity. "The constitutional issues raised by the parties are complex, particularly when considered in the context of this new technology and the risks that it poses to the public," Frank wrote. "These issues deserve, and will receive, full consideration." xAI and its lawyers did not immediately respond to requests for comment. The company said in a court filing on Friday that it will appeal the judge's order to the St. Louis-based 8th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals. Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison, a Democrat, called the state's law "overwhelmingly bipartisan and nearly unanimously approved" by state lawmakers. "These nudification apps have been used to generate child sexual abuse materials and harass people in the vilest ways imaginable," Ellison said in a statement on Friday. "That repulsive behavior is not welcome in Minnesota." The judge earlier turned down Musk's bid in July to stop the law from taking effect but agreed to fast-track his review of the measure. Musk's Grok AI chatbot has faced criticism over its creation of sexually explicit content. Regulators have sought stronger safeguards and imposed bans to help curb the spread of artificially created illegal material. xAI has begun suing users it alleges are evading Grok's technological blockers to create sexual images of people without their consent.
Polymarket Launches Perpetual Oil Futures in 24/7 Trading Push
(Bloomberg) -- Polymarket has launched perpetual futures contracts tied to oil, stepping into a market that rival Kalshi Inc. is also seeking to enter as trading venues compete to offer round-the-clock access to the commodity. Most Read from Bloomberg The company announced the launch Thursday as part of a broader rollout of perpetual futures spanning crypto, stocks and commodities including gold and silver. Among them are two never-expiring contracts linked to the Brent and West Texas Intermediate oil benchmarks, a type of derivative facing scrutiny over its potential impact on price discovery in physical markets. The launch comes a day after it was reported that Kalshi is seeking regulatory approval for its own perpetual futures contract linked to West Texas Intermediate oil. If approved, it would be the first contract of its kind to trade on a regulated US platform. Polymarket's contracts will trade offshore and won't be available to US-based traders, putting the venue in more direct competition for now with exchanges including Hyperliquid and Binance. Perpetual futures are derivatives with no expiration date and built-in leverage, allowing customers to amplify the risk they take with each trade. The contracts surged in popularity during the Iran war as one of the few ways to trade oil while traditional futures markets were closed and have since become a flashpoint in the debate over whether weekend trading can influence prices once traditional markets reopen. There are other key differences between the Polymarket and Kalshi offerings. Unlike Polymarket's nonstop contract, Kalshi's oil-linked contract would trade 24 hours a day, five days a week. The structure was designed to address regulatory concerns raised in a Commodity Futures Trading Commission review of trading outside regular market hours, Bloomberg previously reported. Polymarket first telegraphed plans for the launch in April, though it was unclear at the time whether oil would be among the offerings. The contracts will allow traders to use up to 20 times leverage, according to a social media post by the venue. The ability of retail traders to take on outsized risk has been a key concern surrounding perpetual futures.

Anthropic uses Claude to formalize proof of Fermat's Last Theorem
Anthropic uses Claude to formalize proof of Fermat's Last Theorem Anthropic PBC has used Claude to create a computer-verifiable version of a famous, highly complicated mathematical proof. The company detailed the project in a blog post published today. A proof is a series of arguments that proves a mathematical hypothesis is correct. The proof that Anthropic tackled verifies a hypothesis called Fermat's Last Theorem. Originally floated in 1637, the hypothesis focuses on the properties of positive whole numbers. The proof of Fermat's Last Theorem was developed in 1995 by mathematician Andrew Wiles. It runs for 129 pages and took months of work to verify. Anthropic's research project formalized Wiles' proof, which means that the company turned it into a form that can be automatically verified by computers. Formalizing proofs is useful because it rules out the possibility of human error and eases information sharing among mathematicians. A formalized proof takes the form of a code snippet written in a programming language called Lean. It's a specialized syntax that mathematicians use to verify hypotheses. Anthropic's proof comprises 13 million lines of Lean code, which makes it the largest-ever file of its kind. Formalization is difficult because proofs tend to be quite terse. They lack certain explanations that a computer would need to understand them, which requires Lean developers to add in the explanations manually. Another source of complexity is that the arguments in a proof often build on one another. That means one erroneous line of Lean code can render all the subsequent code invalid. Mathematicians expected the process of formalizing Wiles' proof to take several years. According to Anthropic, its researchers completed the task in 11 days using an internal research model. The algorithm is described as being roughly on par with Claude Fable 5.1, the immediate predecessor of GPT-6 Astra. Notably, the model completed the task using only a limited amount of high-level input from humans. It spun up several dozen agents that generated six billion tokens of output while working on the proof. Along the way, they proved no fewer than 29,500 intermediate theorems. Anthropic's initial attempt to formalize Wiles' proof was unsuccessful. According to the company, the breakthrough came when it gave Claude access to an open-source tool called Prove2Me. The software makes it easier for AI agents to determine the optimal next step in a lengthy processing workflow. Prove2Me also helps lower inference costs. "We see autoformalization of algebra, harmonic analysis, geometry and number theory, and we learn that AI autoformalization artefacts are now robust enough to be built upon; the proof is multi-layered," said Kevin Buzzard, a mathematician whose work Claude used to generate its formalized proof. The milestone comes a month after Anthropic detailed another LLM-driven mathematical advance. The company used Claude to discover new information about the Riemann zeta function, a closely studied mathematical object. It's the center focus of the Riemann hypothesis, one of the world's most difficult conjectures. Rival OpenAI Group PBC is also harnessing its LLMs to advance mathematics research. Last month, the company used its latest Astra model to solve several Erdos problems and narrow a number of open questions in theoretical computer science.

Breaking: Anthropic IPO Eyes October Launch At $2 Trillion Valuation To Beat SpaceX
Elon Musk-backed Anthropic is readying itself for its debut in the public markets in October. The company is now anticipated to begin marketing itself to investors as early as mid-month, sources with knowledge of the situation said Friday. The Anthropic IPO listing might happen just days ahead of the U.S. midterm elections in November. Experts eye a $2 trillion valuation for the AI startup and some even expect it to beat the historic SpaceX IPO debut. Anthropic Pushes Back IPO Prospectus The company has revised its estimated filing schedule. It was previously thought its IPO prospectus would be made public as soon as next week. That has been postponed to late September, two sources with knowledge of the timing said. The prospectus is a significant first step in Anthropic's journey to going public. There is not a definite time yet. The company may still make changes to the schedule as preparations proceed. According to some investors, the potential valuation of Anthropic IPO is at approximately $2 trillion, which is the valuation range of IPO. The size would make this offering one of the biggest seen in world equity markets. The $15 Billion Plan In Focus Anthropic is also making other efforts to round up a big financing round before it gets further into the IPO process. The company is looking to complete a $15 billion revolving credit facility. Earlier, Bloomberg News had reported that Anthropic was considering upgrading the facility to $15 billion. The following day, analysts will be invited to meet with the company following the financing. Those meetings are usually held weeks prior to the prospectus for an IPO being made public. Anthropic could help bridge that divide, though, since analysts at the banks are already well acquainted with the company, one of the people said. However, Anthropic did not respond to reports of plans, according to Reuters report. Meanwhile, the banks in the planned offering include Morgan Stanley, Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan and Citi, people familiar with the situation said. Moreover, the Anthropic IPO comes at a time when major AI companies are contemplating going public. OpenAI is also one of the AI companies which are being connected to a future listing. The market is pricing in odds of OpenAI vs. Anthropic IPO going live first. Another recent example of what big tech firms can achieve was seen during the recent SpaceX IPO in June. SpaceX, the company that was founded by Elon Musk, went public in June for $1.77 trillion. The timeline of Anthropic's remains is still dependent on a number of steps. The final schedule may be subject to change based on regulatory reviews, financing options, and market conditions.

Why Cerebras Stock (CBRS) Is Soaring Today -- Sept. 4, 2026
Shares in U.S. chipmaker Cerebras Systems (CBRS) climbed by more than 12% to around $214 on Friday afternoon. This came amid a rally in AI chip stocks and a sentiment boost triggered by Nvidia's (NVDA) roughly $13 billion acquisition deal for Hugging Face. Notably, CBRS has also closed higher over the past two days after the company announced a new AI data center in Mikkeli, Finland. Cerebras Stock Joins AI Chip Stock Rally For context, Cerebras is an AI infrastructure company. It builds the world's largest computer chips called the Wafer-Scale Engine (WSE). The company creates single, giant processors the size of an entire silicon wafer to speed up AI training and applications. Cerebras shares joined the chip-stock rally on Friday. The rally came as analysts hailed Nvidia's plan to acquire Hugging Face, an open-source platform used for AI development. For instance, Rosenblatt Securities analyst Kevin Cassidy sees the deal as Nvidia "continuing to use its balance sheet to maintain the health of the AI ecosystem as it rapidly expands." AI chip stocks also rallied as U.S. Treasury yields remained stable on Friday. This is because lower or steady yields could translate to lower borrowing costs for investors. Cerebras Stock Rallies on Data Center Footprint Expansion Meanwhile, CBRS stock rose on Friday, building on its gains over the past two days. The stock has been rising since September 2, a day after Cerebras announced its new AI data center in Mikkeli, Finland. This expands the company's data center footprint. Cerebras developed the new facility in partnership with data center operator Compute Nordic Finland. The center is expected to scale gradually to 165 MW. Is Cerebras a Good Stock to Buy? On Wall Street, Cerebras' shares boast a Strong Buy consensus rating from analysts. This is based on 10 Buys assigned since Cerebras made its Nasdaq debut in mid-May. In addition, the average CBRS price target of $296 implies about 40% upside (see CBRS stock forecast here).

Anthropic Weighs Morgan Stanley And Goldman Sachs For Key Roles In $2 Trillion IPO, Says Report
The Claude maker could reportedly file its prospectus as soon as next week, setting the stage for a potential debut in late September or early October. * Morgan Stanley could get the lead role, while Goldman Sachs may handle IPO stabilization, reported the Financial Times. * Anthropic could file its IPO paperwork as soon as next week. * The company could start trading in New York by late September or early October. Anthropic is moving closer to its planned Wall Street debut, with Morgan Stanley and Goldman Sachs expected to secure key roles in a potential $2 trillion IPO. The Claude maker could file its prospectus as soon as next week and is preparing for a roadshow near the end of September, the Financial Times reported. Morgan Stanley, Goldman In Line Morgan Stanley is the frontrunner for Anthropic's "lead left" mandate, stated the FT report, citing four people familiar with the matter. Goldman Sachs, meanwhile, is expected to take the stabilization-agent role, which involves overseeing the early trading sessions after the listing. Morgan Stanley has already been speaking with potential Anthropic investors about the price at which the company could sell its shares. Its lead-left appointment, however, has not been finalized and could still change. JPMorgan, Citigroup and Barclays are also expected to receive leading positions on the offering after providing debt financing to Anthropic. $2T Valuation Could Set Record The IPO could become the largest ever if Anthropic reaches the valuation investors expect. Around half a dozen shareholders have previously said they expect the company to go public at $2 trillion or more, according to the FT report. Anthropic was valued at $965 billion, as of May-end. The timing remains subject to change, but a prospectus filing as soon as next week would mark a major step towards the listing. The offering is also expected to test investor demand for high-growth AI companies following SpaceX's record $86 billion listing at a $1.78 trillion valuation. Banks Battle For AI IPOs Morgan Stanley and Goldman Sachs are also expected to pursue roles on OpenAI's planned IPO, which could come early next year. The lead-left position is particularly valuable because it gives the bank influence over valuation discussions and decisions on stock allocations to hedge funds, institutional investors and sovereign wealth funds. It is also considered a major source of prestige on Wall Street. September Roadshow Planned Anthropic is preparing to meet large investors toward the end of September through a multi-city roadshow. If that schedule holds, the company could start trading in New York in late September or early October. Its debut will come against a backdrop of high volatility in AI stocks, making the listing's performance a closely watched test for the sector.

Brazil Sues Discord for $97 Million in Collective Moral Damages - 27/08/2026 - Business - Folha
Negotiations between Discord and the federal government for the signing of a Conduct Adjustment Agreement have failed. The agreement sought to bring the platform's features into compliance with Brazilian regulations, end ongoing investigations and avoid further penalties. The Lula administration decided to sue the company and seek R$500 million ($97 million) in collective moral damages. The amount corresponds to R$50 million for each of the ten violations that, according to the government, were identified, documented and included in the lawsuit. They include failures in age verification, the lack of mechanisms linking children and teenagers to their legal guardians, and the failure to report cases to the authorities. The negotiations involved the Ministry of Justice and the Office of the Attorney General of the Union, without the participation of the National Data Protection Authority, which is continuing with its own proceedings. The proposals submitted by Discord were deemed insufficient to make an agreement possible. In a statement, the platform said the lawsuit was disproportionate and "does not accurately reflect Discord's approach to safety."

Anthropic delays IPO launch to mid-October at earliest, Reuters reports By Investing.com
Investing.com -- Anthropic is now expected to begin marketing its initial public offering in mid-October at the earliest, Reuters reported exclusively on Friday, citing people familiar with the matter. The artificial intelligence company could complete the listing just days before the U.S. midterm elections in November. Anthropic had previously been expected to make its IPO prospectus public as early as next week, a key step toward launching the offering. Publication of the prospectus is now expected in late September, according to the report. The plans, including the timing of the offering, remain subject to change as the company works through preparations for the listing. The revised schedule pushes back what some investors have said could be a $2 trillion listing, potentially making it one of the largest IPOs ever attempted. The offering would also provide a major test of public-market investor appetite for companies benefiting from rapid growth in artificial intelligence. As part of its IPO preparations, Anthropic is seeking to finalize a $15 billion revolving credit facility. Analysts, including those at banks involved in the financing, are expected to meet with the company after the facility is completed. Companies typically leave several weeks between analyst meetings and publishing an IPO prospectus. Anthropic could operate on a tighter timetable as analysts involved in the process are already familiar with the company. Morgan Stanley (NYSE), Goldman Sachs (NYSE), JPMorgan Chase (NYSE) and Citigroup (NYSE) are among the banks working with Anthropic on the IPO. The potential listing comes as investors seek greater public-market exposure to major AI companies. OpenAI is also among the firms considering a potential listing, following SpaceX's record $1.77 trillion public-market debut in June. Anthropic declined to comment on its IPO plans.

Its prospectus is now expected in late September, with marketing starting in mid-October at the earliest. Anthropic's IPO schedule just slipped: its prospectus is now expected in late September, and investor marketing may not start until mid-October, according to people familiar with the matter. What does this mean? An IPO prospectus is the document that lays out a company's financials, risks, and plan for using new money, and it usually marks the start of the final push toward a listing. In this case, Anthropic is also finishing a $15 billion revolving credit facility, basically a flexible bank credit line, and analysts at banks involved are expected to meet the company after that's set. That sequence matters because those meetings help banks publish research an..
