Anthropic, the maker of the Claude AI assistant, has opened communications with New York City Comptroller Mark Levine, who oversees pension funds with over $325 billion in total assets. Levine requested that the company delay its planned IPO, originally targeted for November 2026, to better address concerns about AI safety, governance and the pace of technology development. Anthropic reported Q3 2026 revenue of $16.8 billion, representing 45% quarter-over-quarter growth, and stated it is cash-flow positive. A potential IPO valuation of up to $2 trillion has been discussed, in a context of competitive race among AI firms seeking to go public. No changes to the IPO timeline or concrete commitments have been publicly announced so far.
