# Anthropic Releases Two New Models as It Begins Marketing a Planned Listing Valued Near $1.5 Trillion

The AI developer is reported to be seeking $80 billion to $100 billion before Thanksgiving, after a sell-off in AI stocks last week cut valuation expectations from about $2 trillion.

Anthropic on Monday released two new AI models, Claude Fable 5.2 and Claude Mythos 5.2, as it competes with OpenAI ahead of its planned initial public offering (IPO), [Pakistan's Dawn reported](https://www.dawn.com/news/2043474/anthropic-unveils-new-fable-mythos-models-as-competition-heats-up-ahead-of-ipo). The regulatory waiting period on its filing has ended, and the company will now argue to investors that it is the right time to go public despite last week's fall in AI-related stocks, [The Japan Times reported](https://www.japantimes.co.jp/business/2026/11/10/tech/anthropic-ipo-waiting-period/).

The terms remain unsettled. Investors cited by the Financial Times said Anthropic wants to list before Thanksgiving and raise $80 billion to $100 billion at a valuation between $1.25 trillion and $1.75 trillion, [according to a summary of reports](https://leverageshares.com/us/anthropic-ipo-tracker/). Earlier estimates had centered on about $2 trillion. As of November 9, no amended filing had set a price range, [FinanceFeeds reported](https://financefeeds.com/anthropic-ipo-date-roadshow-week-arrives-with-no-price-range-on-file/), and the company was still aiming to list during the week of November 16.

The size of the offering gives it macro weight. A raise in the reported range would rank among the largest equity offerings ever made, and it would draw capital from the same investors who fund AI data centers and chip suppliers. On Monday, US chip stocks recovered part of their losses as oil prices fell, but Nvidia fell on its own governance problem.

## What this means

AI spending has moved from internal cash flow to public markets. An offering of up to $100 billion tests whether investors will pay for future AI earnings at a time when the 10-year Treasury yield is near 4.9% and the Fed may raise rates again. If demand is strong, AI developers can keep buying compute at the current pace, and chip suppliers and power utilities keep their revenue outlook intact. If the company has to price below the reported range, the market will apply that discount to every private AI valuation and to the debt-financed data-center projects behind them. The cut in expectations from $2 trillion already shows buyers setting the price. The precedent is the 2019 listings of Uber and Lyft, which priced below their private valuations and led investors to reprice late-stage technology companies over the following year. The likelier outcome is that the offering prices in the lower half of the reported range, if the AI share sell-off does not resume. That forecast would be wrong if the order book allows pricing at or above $1.75 trillion, which would show that public capital for AI remains plentiful.

## What to watch

- The price range in Anthropic's amended filing. Where it sits relative to the $1.25 trillion to $1.75 trillion talk will show how much demand institutions have.
- Share moves in chip and data-center suppliers during the roadshow. Selling would suggest investors are funding the IPO by reducing other AI holdings.
- Any delay past Thanksgiving. A postponement would show that the funding limits on AI spending are tightening.
