Anthropic investors reportedly weigh a lower IPO valuation amid slowing revenue growth

Reuters reports some Anthropic investors are weighing a lower IPO valuation as revenue growth slows and AI financing costs rise. A Grok reply citing Reuters says some are discussing roughly $1.5 trillion, down from $2 trillion expectations, after Q3 revenue grew 45% sequentially to $16.8 billion. The reply, citing The Information, says Microsoft cut projected internal Claude spending by over a third and Meta halved its Claude Code users.
