- Fortune reports Anthropic's S-1 IPO prospectus has leaked, targeting a $2 trillion valuation, with snapshots of its income statement showing steep ongoing losses.
- The company's thesis centers on an agent workforce that runs autonomously for weeks; skeptics argue that requires full situational awareness, otherwise it's "just Excel waiting to be spoon-fed."
- The filing lands amid broader concerns that AI hyperscalers need $300B in revenue to cover costs, making this IPO a key test of AI business models.
