Topic
The IPO topic covers developments around Anthropic's potential public offering, including a second major compute deal and proposed AI safety legislation. Coverage also includes leadership changes at OpenAI involving former Anthropic staff.
Cat Wu, head of product for Claude Code at Anthropic, has joined OpenAI to lead its Core Products team — the unit behind Codex — just weeks before Anthropic’s planned IPO.
Anthropic and Nscale are negotiating a second $45 billion compute deal — just weeks after closing their first one. Bloomberg, citing people familiar with the matter, reports the talks are advanced but not final.
Anthropic has proposed a federal AI safety bill that would let the U.S. Department of Commerce block an AI model’s release — but only if it poses a risk of causing at least $1 billion in damages or killing or injuring more than 50 people.
