Skynet, Spies, And Your Vote Doesn't Count: The 10 Biggest Red Flags In Anthropic's IPO Filing

What happened: Anthropic's amended S-1 disclosed a swing to a $567 million GAAP operating loss in Q3, alongside 94 pages of risk factors including dual-class voting control and government restrictions on its models. Key numbers: Q3 revenue $16.96 billion, up 1,127% year over year. Committed spend $895.4 billion, with $69.8 billion due in the next 12 months. Why it matters: The filing warns Class A holders will be generally unable to change any stockholder vote outcome, and that government actions could make commercial counterparties reluctant to sign long-term deals.
