Anthropic's second S-1 amendment discloses two notable items ahead of its IPO.
RSP threshold crossed
- Anthropic says it has crossed the Responsible Scaling Policy line where AI meaningfully accelerates AI research, triggering stronger safety requirements
- A week earlier it only said it "may imminently" cross it; the call is based on expected future model capabilities, not anything current models have shown
IPO pricing
- Priced at $70-78 per share, up to 825M shares, valuing the company at as much as $1.4T
- At the top of the range the deal raises $64.4B, with $62.5B from 801M new Anthropic shares
- Existing stockholders sell only 23.6M shares — nearly all proceeds fund the company rather than early-exit investors
