This is the version exactly as it was saved, character for character. The SHA-256 hash below is a 64-character code worked out from that text. Run the same text through SHA-256 and you get the same code; change a single letter and the code comes out completely different. Each version also stores the previous version’s hash, which chains them together so no version can be swapped out quietly.

quick_read: Anthropic, the developer of the Claude chatbot, is seeking a valuation of up to $1.4tn in its Wall Street flotation, according to a US regulatory filing on Tuesday. It had been widely reported to be targeting $2tn. The company aims to raise up to $64.4bn by selling 825m shares priced at up to $78 each.

Forrester analyst Brian Hopkins said last week's US midterm elections, which produced victories for datacentre opponents, gave investors an excuse to correct valuations they already worried about. He said the lower Anthropic figure is a consequence of that correction.

Anthropic will also raise a further $26bn through a private placement with cornerstone investors including Alphabet and Nvidia. Trading could start as soon as next week, so the final market value is not yet known.

tag: Evidence-backed problem
key_points: The IPO would raise up to $64.4bn by selling 825m shares at up to $78 a share. | A separate private placement would add $26bn from cornerstone investors including Alphabet and Nvidia. | The updated filing says annual revenue was running at $81bn as of 31 October, up $10bn from the previous month. | Analyst Brian Hopkins of Forrester said the midterm elections prompted investors to correct valuations, and that this lowered Anthropic's target from $2tn. | Elon Musk's SpaceX holds the record for the largest listing, at a $1.78tn valuation, and is now worth just under $2tn. | A Chinese spying scandal involving Nvidia has not affected share prices so far, other than Nvidia's.
rundown: The filing sets out the structure of the deal: up to 825m shares priced at up to $78, raising up to $64.4bn and implying a valuation of up to $1.4tn. Alphabet, Google's parent, and chipmaker Nvidia are among cornerstone investors in a separate $26bn private placement.

The Guardian ties the lower target to investor nerves over the AI boom. Datacentre opponents won races in the US midterms last week, adding to existing doubts about how quickly, or whether, companies can earn a return on AI infrastructure spending. Hopkins said the market needed an excuse to correct itself a little on valuations.

Despite the lower target, the filing shows revenue growth: an annual run rate of $81bn at 31 October, $10bn higher than the month before. The article notes SpaceX's listing at $1.78tn as the largest ever and a Chinese spying scandal around Nvidia as a possible overhang.
