Bloomberg reported that New York City Comptroller Mark Levine sent a letter on Wednesday to Anthropic Chief Executive Officer Dario Amodei, urging the company to hold off on an initial public offering until it has more fully addressed risks tied to AI safety, governance, and the pace of development. Levine, who oversees more than $325 billion in public pension assets, argued that the ethically binding safety commitments reached between the Trump administration and AI companies including Anthropic do not go far enough. In the letter, he asked Anthropic to establish governance mechanisms and spell out how it would implement proper audits and controls, what those measures would cover, and when they would be put in place. He also asked the company to explain whether and how those steps would answer Amodei’s earlier call to slow the rate at which AI model capabilities advance. Anthropic is said to be planning an IPO as soon as next month that could match or exceed the size of SpaceX’s previous record-setting offering. The company also met with some investors at its headquarters on Wednesday and disclosed third-quarter revenue of $16.8 billion. Anthropic did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Levine asks for governance details before any listing
Levine oversees more than $325 billion in public pension assets. In his letter, he said the ethically binding safety agreement reached between the Trump administration and AI companies, including Anthropic, remains insufficient.
He urged Anthropic to put governance mechanisms in place and disclose how it plans to implement appropriate audits and control measures, what those measures will cover, and the expected timeline. Levine also asked the company to explain whether, and in what way, those steps would address Amodei’s earlier call to slow the rate of progress in AI model capabilities.
Anthropic may go public as soon as next month
The report said Anthropic could go public as early as next month, with fundraising that may reach or exceed SpaceX’s previous record-setting IPO. The company met with some investors at its headquarters on Wednesday and disclosed third-quarter revenue this year of $16.8 billion.
Anthropic did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
