Künstliche Intelligenz: KI-Firma Anthropic mit Milliarden-Verlusten vor Börsengang

Artificial Intelligence startup Anthropic has amassed $104 billion in losses since the beginning of the year, according to its updated prospectus. Revenue surged to $33.2 billion in the first nine months of 2026 from $2.5 billion in the same period last year. During the first three quarters of the previous year, the company reported red numbers of $25 billion.

Anthropic is set to go public in the coming weeks, overtaking OpenAI, the ChatGPT developer, who has no plans to place shares on the stock market this year. The updated prospectus added that Anthropic reported a $23.3 billion loss in the third quarter, with revenue at $17 billion. Most of the red numbers are due to a revaluation of the balance sheet, with an operational loss of $567 million.

Meanwhile, AI developers are heavily investing in the development of their AI models and computing power. In the last quarter, Anthropic spent nearly $5 billion on computer resources. The prospectus also reveals that the company has forecasted investments of $895 billion for capacity in data centers and infrastructure expansion over the coming years, of which nearly $450 billion will be due by the end of 2030.

Anthropic competes with its AI assistant Claude, alongside ChatGPT, against tech giants like Google, Microsoft, and Facebook's Meta. Recent concerns among investors about whether the massive AI investments can be justified have grown, coupled with a heightened debate over the risks of the technology following standalone hacking attacks by AI software.
