Anthropic 想两全其美。随着即将到来的首次公开募股（IPO），它希望利用公开市场的巨额资金，同时坚称不会妥协其开发安全、造福人类 AI 的核心使命。但模型能力越强，风险越大，渴望回报的股东可能对那些拖慢产品上市、成本高昂的安全措施缺乏耐心。
Anthropic wants to have it both ways. With its impending IPO, it wants to tap the vast riches of the public markets and insists it doesn't want to compromise its core mission of developing AI safely and for the benefit of humanity. But greater model capabilities bring greater risks, and shareholders eager for returns may have little patience for costly safety measures that slow products on their way to market.

Sam Altman, the CEO of Anthropic's archrival, OpenAI, has cited investor pressures as one reason the company is not pursuing an IPO this year. Anthropic hopes it can resist investor pressures with a mind-boggling governance structure.
