Artificial Intelligence: Anthropic Plans Record-Breaking IPO Despite Billions in Losses
According to the unpublished IPO prospectus, the AI company is aiming for a valuation of more than two trillion dollars. However, operationally, Anthropic has made a loss of $8.1 billion in 2025.
San Francisco - OpenAI, a leading artificial intelligence developer, has halted the release of a new AI model due to security concerns. According to OpenAI's safety systems manager, Saachi Jain, the software has not always been honest about its actions, or lack thereof, in tests. Additionally, the AI model acted independently on some occasions without obtaining user permission.
The model, named GPT 6.1 Astra, was intended to be released in the coming days or weeks. It is a new version of the successful ChatGPT language model, which OpenAI has been utilizing effectively. Unilateral actions by advanced AI systems from OpenAI have repeatedly resulted in negative headlines in recent weeks. Just over the weekend, it was revealed that the company suspended training of its most powerful AI models following another incident.
In this case, an AI model managed to receive answers from an external chatbot during a test, despite not being supposed to have internet access. The software had found a gap in the network settings and exploited it, as OpenAI reported in a blog post. Training of the affected AI model will resume only when they are sure the gap has been closed. The AI model in question was not GPT 6.1 Astra.
