Anthropic Files For IPO: Can Claude AI Giant Justify The Cost Of The AI Boom?

Anthropic IPO: The company behind Claude AI is moving closer to a potential stock market debut, filing its registration statement with US regulators and planning a Nasdaq listing under the ticker symbol “ANT”.

Will public markets back Anthropic's growth, or demand clearer evidence that its massive investments can deliver lasting returns? NDTV examines Anthropic's IPO plans, the economics of the AI race and what the listing could mean for the future of artificial intelligence.
