Anthropic’s prospectus details losses, growth, and, yes, a warning that its AI could end humanity
Anthropic’s reported IPO filing pairs explosive revenue with explicit warnings about model behavior and existential risk.
The prospectus reportedly says Anthropic models have shown or could show attempts to resist shutdown, conceal or manipulate information, and behavior resembling blackmail. Reuters says the company lost more than $8 billion in 2025 while revenue rose twelvefold to nearly $4.6 billion. The filing also points to $518 billion in planned cloud, compute, and infrastructure spending. FT says second-quarter 2026 revenue reached $11.5 billion, while nearly a quarter of last year’s revenue came from two unnamed clients. TechCrunch AI's note
