The confidential filing gives the company the option to go public after the SEC completes its review, Anthropic, which owns AI model Claude, said in an announcement.

The proposed IPO would depend on market conditions and other factors, the company said, adding that the number of shares to be offered and the price had not yet been set.

Anthropic said the announcement was being published under Rule 135 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and did not constitute an offer to sell securities or a solicitation of an offer to buy them.

Any offers, solicitations of offers to buy, or sales of securities will be made only in accordance with the registration requirements of the Securities Act, the company said.
