Anthropic PBC has lined up Morgan Stanley and Goldman Sachs to lead its initial public offering, according to people familiar with the matter cited by Bloomberg. JPMorgan Chase is also reported to be involved in the deal, with additional banks potentially added later. The timing and structure of the IPO are not yet finalized: one report says the offering could be launched as soon as October, and that deal terms may change. Anthropic, an artificial intelligence company, is moving forward with an IPO as it competes with OpenAI on high-profile milestones. Bloomberg’s account indicates the company is working through the process of selecting banks and finalizing details with sources describing the preparations rather than confirming finalized arrangements. Overall, the reports describe early-stage coordination for the IPO—bank participation is set in part, while key aspects such as the final timetable and specific terms remain subject to revision.
