According to a Wall Street Journal (WSJ) report based on a draft report containing financial information about the company's IPO process, US-based artificial intelligence company Anthropic lost $80.7 billion in the first half of this year.
The report noted that in the same period of the previous year the loss was $13 billion, and stated that $72 billion of this year's loss consisted of accounting expenses arising from changes in the value of convertible debt instruments and other financial instruments issued by the company.
$750 BILLION IN SPENDING ON COMPUTING
The report states that the company must pay approximately $450 billion for cloud computing agreements over the next seven to ten years.
The draft report also indicates that Anthropic may spend $750 billion on additional computing capacity in the coming years.
RISKS ALSO INCLUDE BLACKMAIL-LIKE RESPONSES
The report, which also draws attention to risks associated with artificial intelligence systems, includes among them the possibility that models may exhibit behaviors aimed at preventing their shutdown or produce blackmail-like responses.
The news report also describes political opposition to data center construction in the US, where the majority of Anthropic's computing capacity is located, as a potential risk factor.
IPO DOCUMENTS EXPECTED WITHIN WEEKS
Anthropic is expected to formally submit its IPO documents in the coming weeks, along with seeking additional funding for chips, data centers, and personnel needed to develop its artificial intelligence models.
