Anthropic计划于周三与潜在投资者举行的会议上首次公布其第三季度的财务数据。这家人工智能巨头正在为可能成为史上最大规模的首次公开募股(IPO)做准备。
Anthropic plans to disclose its third-quarter financials for the first time at a meeting with potential investors on Wednesday as the artificial intelligence giant prepares for what could be the largest initial public offering in history.
据两位知情人士透露,总部位于旧金山的Anthropic将向这些机构投资者披露财务数据;由于相关细节属于机密,这些人士要求匿名。
此前有媒体首次报道了这次会议的安排,但Anthropic方面并未对此发表任何评论。
San Francisco-based Anthropic will release the numbers to a group of institutional investors, according to two people familiar with the matter, who asked not to be named because the details were confidential.
目前,私人人工智能公司的财务数据对整个市场都产生了显著影响。上周,关于OpenAI营收及会计处理方式的报道引发了市场混乱,导致多家半导体公司股价下跌,整个纳斯达克指数也受到影响。OpenAI在当前的融资过程中向现有投资者公布了500亿美元的营收数据,这一数字低于此前广泛报道的700亿美元。据一位知情人士表示,这一更新后的营收数据并未反映市场需求的变化(因为其中排除了来自云服务合作伙伴的收入)。
first reported that the meeting was happening. Anthropic declined to comment. The meeting comes as revenue numbers from the private AI giants have proven to have an outsized impact on broader markets. Last week, confusion around a report detailing OpenAI 's revenue and updated accounting dragged down major semiconductor stocks and the broader Nasdaq. OpenAI shared an updated revenue number of $50 billion with current investors as part of an ongoing fundraise which was lower than the $70 billion that had been widely reported.
目前尚不清楚Anthropic是否会采用同样的统计方式来计算营收(即是否也会计入合作伙伴的收入)。不过,本周公布的财务数据将帮助投资者更准确地了解Anthropic的业绩增长情况及其盈利能力,从而为该公司未来的IPO估值提供参考。同时,这些数据也有助于Anthropic的高管团队和银行家们评估投资者的反应。
The updated number stripped out revenue from cloud partners, and wasn't an indication of changing demand, according to a person familiar with the matter who asked not to be named in order to discuss internal information. It's unclear if Anthropic will account for sales in the same manner and include partner revenue, but the numbers this week will give investors a more accurate snapshot of Anthropic's growth and profitability as they look to value the company ahead of an IPO.
人工智能领域的“安全守护者”正在逐渐受到关注。微软首席执行官萨蒂亚·纳德拉表示,人工智能系统需要一个由人类控制的“紧急制动机制”来确保其安全。英伟达的GPU产品已经无处不在;许多公司都在利用这些技术来开发自己的产品或服务。在人们对人工智能技术充满担忧的背景下,好莱坞也开始关注扎克伯格、马斯克等科技巨头的相关动向。
根据知情人士的说法,Anthropic公司正积极推进其上市计划,其最新公布的营收数据显示该公司有望在今年年底前实现超过1000亿美元的营收,这一估值甚至可能超过SpaceX的历史性首次公开募股(IPO)规模。
It will also help Anthropic senior executives and bankers gauge investor interest and weigh the reaction to these updated financials. AI's quiet safety gatekeepers are stepping into the spotlight Microsoft's Nadella says AI needs an 'emergency brake' that humans control Nvidia GPUs are everywhere. Here are the ways companies are accessing them Hollywood takes on Zuckerberg, Musk and Altman amid widespread anxiety over AI Anthropic is plowing ahead with what could be a $2 trillion listing based on its latest reported revenue numbers, which could top $100 billion by the end of this year, according to people familiar with the plans. That valuation would put it ahead of SpaceX 's historic debut.
Anthropic已于今年早些时候向美国证券交易委员会(SEC)提交了上市申请,但尚未公开其财务报告。据路透社报道,该公司计划于11月上市,不过相关人士尚未确认具体的上市日期。如果上市计划真的得以实施,那么在当前利率不断上升的背景下,Anthropic的股价可能会受到较大影响。
Anthropic filed confidentially with the Securities and Exchange Commission earlier this year but has not made its S-1 financials public. The company will list in November, according to Reuters, but people familiar with the plans could not confirm a listing date. If it does go ahead, Anthropic will also be listing at a time when climbing interest rates are shaking parts of the AI trade.
本周,博通(Broadcom)首席执行官霍克·谭(Hock Tan)的言论进一步加剧了人们对人工智能行业的担忧。他在周一的会议上表示,随着利率的上升,资金获取难度可能会成为人工智能企业面临的最大挑战。受对人工智能融资可持续性的担忧影响,芯片类股票的股价在周二继续下跌。市场环境是Anthropic上市过程中的重要因素之一,银行家们正在密切关注投资者对成长型企业和人工智能股票的兴趣程度。
Comments from Broadcom CEO Hock Tan this week further rattled AI names. Tan said at a conference on Monday that with rates climbing, access to capital could be the biggest constraint on AI companies. Chip stocks were lower Tuesday, extending an overnight sell-off sparked by worries over the durability of AI financing. Market conditions are one of the biggest factors in Anthropic's upcoming IPO, and bankers are closely watching investor appetite for growth and AI stocks.
