  "account": "Anthropic, a US AI startup, experienced a mishap with its multi-billion dollar initial public offering (IPO) when an employee accidentally sent a document with sensitive information to banks. The document, obtained by Reuters, revealed that Anthropic aims to raise up to $69.3 billion through the IPO, with a planned sale of 867 million shares priced between $70 and $80. Tech giants including Alphabet, Nvidia, and Microsoft plan to invest $26 billion in a special category of Anthropic shares. The company later retracted the email, stating that details on the pricing were incorrect, and new information would be sent later. Anthropic's management will start a marketing push for the IPO on Tuesday, with the issue price to be determined next week.",
