Dario Amodei-led artificial intelligence (AI) company Anthropic, maker of the popular Claude chatbot and coding tool, among other things, confidentially filed draft papers in the US on Monday for an initial public offering (IPO). Rival OpenAI, led by Sam Altman, is also looking to raise money from the public but has not yet filed for an IPO.

If Anthropic’s offer goes ahead, it will test investor appetite for AI companies, which have commanded massive private valuations—both Anthropic and OpenAI are within shouting distance of the trillion-dollar mark.

The Anthropic filing adds to the buzz on Wall Street, coming as it does after the Elon Musk-led SpaceX's $75 billion IPO filing, which is expected to move the bourses in its own way.

It was reported in May that OpenAI was preparing to confidentially file for a US IPO in the coming weeks.

Confidential submissions let companies advance IPO preparations while shielding sensitive financial details from rivals and the public.
