Anthropic has chosen Nasdaq for its October IPO, in the week OpenAI ruled one out

Anthropic has settled on Nasdaq for a listing it still hopes to complete in October, according to a person familiar with the plans who spoke to Business Insider. The account is attributed to an unnamed person described as familiar with the plans, rather than to the company itself. No offering size, valuation or list of advisers appears in the excerpt.

The article also notes that the safety warning which has dominated the past fortnight came from a former Anthropic researcher who resigned over safety. That detail places the listing decision against a period of public concern about AI safety. The former researcher is not named in the excerpt, and the content of the warning is not described. Business Insider is identified as the outlet that spoke to the person familiar with the plans.

The headline frames the Nasdaq decision as arriving in the same week that OpenAI ruled out a listing of its own. According to the report, Anthropic has chosen Nasdaq as the venue and is still aiming for October. Beyond the venue, the intended month, the sourcing and the reference to the departing researcher, the excerpt offers no further detail on pricing, on timing beyond October, or on the company's stated reasons for listing.
