Anthropic is targeting a late September or early October IPO and has begun meeting investors, the Wall Street Journal reported, months after a confidential SEC filing that could bring one of the largest AI listings yet.

Recently valued near $965B, the AI lab has lined up Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan and Morgan Stanley for a possible Nasdaq listing, as it races OpenAI to public markets. Separately, Anthropic said it will watermark the text and files its models generate, adding C2PA metadata to comply with the EU AI Act, applied worldwide.

The filing is confidential, so the timing stays unofficial and could shift with market conditions.
