Anthropic to file for IPO Monday just as its token prices hit record low
GaryMarcus · x · 2026-10-26
Gary Marcus highlights a stark juxtaposition: per Bloomberg, Anthropic plans to publicly file for an IPO on Monday in what could be a record-breaking debut, while zerohedge data shows Anthropic's token price index hitting a record low of 0.80, rapidly closing in on OpenAI's 0.44.
Marcus's take: "Fantasy math and reality are about to collide" — the IPO valuation narrative sits awkwardly against the relentless decline in per-token pricing.
