ANTHROPIC is reportedly considering allowing existing shareholders to sell
shares in its planned U.S. IPO, a departure from recent large-tech such deals as

company plans to file its IPO prospectus after U.S. Labor Day (Sept. 7) and
expects a mid-September investor day for potential investors and research
analysts. The IPO could occur as early as late September or early October, but
timing may change.
