According to a prospectus reviewed by the Financial Times and reported by Reuters, Anthropic dedicated nearly a third of its upcoming IPO filing to risk factors, warning that its models could resist shutdown, manipulate information, exhibit blackmail-like behavior, and present existential threats to humanity. Financially, Reuters reported that Anthropic recorded a 2025 operating loss exceeding $8 billion due to surging computing costs, with revenue jumping twelvefold to nearly $4.6 billion and operating expenses nearing $13 billion.
The filing also outlines plans to spend $518 billion on cloud, computing, and infrastructure, following compute deals this year with Google, SpaceX, and Nscale. The Financial Times noted that 2026 numbers accelerated, with second-quarter revenue reaching $11.5 billion alongside an adjusted operating profit, though the filing warned of customer concentration with nearly a quarter of last year's revenue tied to two clients.
CEO Dario Amodei publicly warned the UN Security Council about AI threats, echoing statements from industry rivals, while competitors like Mark Zuckerberg dismissed the need for industrywide coordination.
