Anthropic is reportedly in talks with Nvidia to become an anchor investor for its IPO, with Nvidia potentially investing up to $10 billion.

TechFlow reported on September 12 that, according to two sources familiar with the matter, Anthropic is in talks with Nvidia (NVDA.O) to bring the latter in as an anchor investor for its IPO; Anthropic’s IPO is expected to become the largest ever.

One of the sources added that Nvidia is considering investing up to $10 billion in this IPO. They cautioned that the plans are still under discussion and may change. Reports indicate that bringing in a well-capitalized anchor investor like Nvidia could bolster investor confidence in the listing. This IPO is increasingly seen as a significant test of the public market's acceptance of the massive valuations and funding demands of frontier AI laboratories. (Jin10)
