Anthropic has filed its S-1 with the SEC and could go public as early as next month. The company behind the Claude chatbot is valued at nearly $1 trillion in private markets, with cumulative funding exceeding $130 billion. The offering could raise as much as $100 billion, and once listed, it would quickly become one of the largest public companies in the world.
This IPO has trillions of dollars at stake and will also serve as a litmus test for the broader economy.

Anthropic's listing gives the outside world its first chance to scrutinize the health of this pivotal company and test the sustainability of its growth. The question is straightforward: Is market demand for AI services truly bottomless enough to support the enormous spending on chips, data centers, and other infrastructure? Or are there limits to all of this?
