Anthropic is considering releasing a new artificial intelligence model ahead of its planned initial public offering, while also weighing whether to delay the listing until after the U.S. midterm elections in November, according to Reuters, which cited multiple people familiar with the matter. The discussions come after OpenAI’s GPT-6Astra, launched this month, gained broad traction among enterprise users and prompted some investors to reassess Anthropic’s standing as a leading provider of enterprise AI tools. One source told Reuters that Anthropic is reviewing the safety of its next-generation model as part of the decision on whether to release it. Other internal discussions have focused on balancing spending tied to a new model launch against efforts to improve profitability, as higher interest rates have pushed investors to pay closer attention to when expected profits may materialize. Two sources also said Anthropic could move its IPO to after the November U.S. midterm elections, though the election itself is not expected to have a major effect on the offering. Reuters had previously reported that the roadshow could begin as early as mid-October.
Anthropic is considering launching a new artificial intelligence model ahead of its initial public offering, according to Reuters, which cited three people familiar with the matter. The move is being weighed as the company responds to momentum built by OpenAI since the release of GPT-6Astra.
Reuters said Anthropic is making the assessment after its chief executive called for the broader industry to slow down. OpenAI’s GPT-6Astra, released this month, has drawn wide attention from enterprise customers. That has raised concerns among some investors, who told Reuters they are reassessing Anthropic’s position as a leading supplier of enterprise AI tools.
Model release decision tied to safety review
One person familiar with the matter said Anthropic is evaluating the safety of its next-generation model, and that review is one factor in deciding whether the model should be released.
Another source familiar with the company’s thinking said some of the discussions center on how to balance investment in a new model launch with efforts to improve profitability. Reuters said rising interest rates have made investors more focused on when expected profits may be achieved.
IPO could move to after November elections
Two people familiar with the matter also told Reuters that Anthropic may delay its IPO until after the U.S. midterm elections in November. The election is not expected to have a major impact on the offering itself.
The IPO has already been pushed back from the earlier plan. Reuters had previously reported that the roadshow was expected to begin as early as mid-October.
