Story summary

The artificial intelligence company Anthropic is preparing to go public with a planned initial public offering to raise approximately $90 billion. This funding plan also includes a private share offering to several major American tech firms, specifically Nvidia, Google, and Microsoft.

The report highlights how deep pools of U.S. risk capital have allowed the firm to achieve such rapid growth and a high valuation in a short timeframe.
