I Asked Anthropic's Own AI Model Whether I Should Buy the IPO. Claude's Answer Shocked Me.

Anthropic filed its S-1 for a Nasdaq IPO under ticker ANT. The company generated $16.3B in revenue in H1 2026 with 1,300% YoY growth, but reported an $80.7B net loss (mostly non-cash charges). Claude AI identified concerns including long-term compute commitments through 2045, competition from cloud partners, and founder voting control. Claude recommended caution at higher valuations, suggesting only a small speculative position at $500B valuation (15x P/S), but passing at $1T (31x P/S) or $2T (61x P/S).
