More context
Anthropic made its IPO prospectus public Monday, reporting $16.3 billion in revenue for the first half of 2026 and an $80.7 billion net loss. Reuters said the loss was driven largely by an increase in the fair value of bonds convertible into company shares. Revenue rose 1,368 percent in the three months ended June 30 from a year earlier, but Anthropic warned that its growth rate could decline and fluctuate. About 94 pages of the more than 300-page filing address risk factors, Fortune reported. Anthropic warned that its models could be misused or produce outputs interpreted as coercive, deceptive or manipulative. It said using AI in its research could make model capabilities advance faster than safety measures, and flagged possible self-preserving behavior resembling blackmail. The company expects compute and infrastructure costs to remain its largest operating expense.
