Anthropic PBC has confidentially submitted draft paperwork for a public listing, potentially leapfrogging longtime rival OpenAI in the race toward a Wall Street debut as soon as this fall. 

“The number of shares to be offered and the price have not yet been set,” the company said in a blog post Monday. Anthropic, once viewed as an underdog to OpenAI, has vaulted ahead of the ChatGPT maker in recent months on multiple fronts. The Claude developer recently raised $65 billion in a funding round at a $965 billion valuation, including the investment, eclipsing OpenAI’s value for the first time. Anthropic’s advances in coding and cybersecurity capabilities have rattled markets and also enticed new business customers. 

With the filing on Monday, Anthropic is poised to potentially beat OpenAI to the public market, setting itself up to attract more attention and capital from a greater pool of investors. OpenAI itself was said to be preparing its own confidential filing for an initial public offering in the coming weeks and was targeting a public debut sometime in the fall, Bloomberg reported in May.
