    OpenAI Accused of Poaching Enterprise Customers from Anthropic with Over 30% Discounts

    According to The Information, citing people familiar with the matter, OpenAI is pitching its models and coding tools to Anthropic's enterprise customers at significant price discounts. Software development platform Replit has shifted most of its AI budget from Anthropic to OpenAI, after OpenAI reportedly offered more than a 30% discount on an annual contract worth over $100 million, while Anthropic was only willing to extend its existing discount on the condition that Replit commit to higher spending. The usage mix at HR software vendor Rippling also reversed within a few months: in May 2026, Anthropic models handled 57% of the coding work for its hundreds of developers, while OpenAI accounted for 16%; after adjustments to cut costs, OpenAI rose to 52% and Anthropic fell to 18%. The report also noted that Anthropic is facing the loss or shrinking usage of major customers such as the Pentagon, Meta and Microsoft, and that it filed for a U.S. listing on Monday.

    Anthropic Files S-1: First-Half Revenue of $16.3 Billion, Loss of $80.8 Billion

    The S-1 filing submitted by Anthropic ahead of its IPO shows that the company's first-half revenue was $16.3 billion, compared with $1.2 billion in the same period last year, while its loss for the same period was $80.8 billion, compared with $13 billion in the same period last year. The filing also states that the company primarily positions itself as a foundation model company, but may from time to time compete with application-layer startups in certain categories. Anthropic said that no single customer contributed more than 10% of revenue, but that a considerable portion of its customers are startups and technology companies, which may cut or delay spending during an economic downturn.

    Cathedral says it used an AI agent to breach Anthropic's internal systems within 12 hours; the two sides disagree on the severity

    U.S. cybersecurity startup Cathedral says its AI agent entered Anthropic's internal systems through a vulnerability in third-party software in less than 12 hours, accessing meeting records, salary information, and Slack messages discussing advanced models, and that it submitted its findings through the bug bounty program in early October. Anthropic acknowledged that a "limited scope" of business, HR, and IT systems was accessed, but said the exposed data was limited to the work contact information and basic account information of customers and partners, that Claude conversations, code, and model weights were unaffected, and that monitoring tools had already detected some of the activity before the other party reported it and cut off access the same day. Anthropic accused Cathedral of exaggerating the national security impact and failing to fully declare its testing activities; a senior Trump administration official, speaking anonymously, said the matter raised national security concerns.

    Meta plans to offer up to $95 billion in stock to fund AI infrastructure

    Meta plans to raise up to $95 billion by issuing new shares to fund AI infrastructure construction. Of this, about $22.5 billion comes from Class A common stock, $12.5 billion from depositary shares, and the remaining $60 billion will be continuously sold on the public market after Class C shares begin trading. Class C shares carry no voting rights, which can avoid diluting CEO Mark Zuckerberg's control; Nvidia, AMD, and Broadcom have expressed interest in purchasing up to $5 billion of Meta stock.

    Anthropic launches IPO, seen as a bellwether for gauging the health of the AI market

    At its San Francisco headquarters, Anthropic presented financial data and growth plans to investors: third-quarter revenue was $16.8 billion, up 45% quarter-over-quarter, but second-quarter growth had reached 141%, and the signs of deceleration have drawn market attention. Its IPO is seen as key to testing whether AI demand can support the massive spending on chips and data centers; some investors have begun discussing a valuation range of $1.5 trillion to $1.7 trillion, below the previous expectation of up to $2 trillion. The article also notes that Meta, one of its largest customers, has cut spending and switched to other AI models, and that the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index has fallen 26% from its June high.

    Anthropic Submits S-1 Prospectus, Risk Factors Section Exceeds 90 Pages

    Anthropic has submitted its S-1 prospectus, in which the risk factors section runs more than 90 pages, including the risks the company faces in seeking to balance AI safety with commercial goals. The filing states that the company frequently makes subjective judgments about what safety standards a model must meet before it can be released externally, but it cannot guarantee that safety safeguards will be sufficiently effective, nor that it can accurately identify which model capabilities should be restricted. The document also notes that researchers and policymakers worry that sufficiently advanced AI systems, if not developed and deployed responsibly, could pose catastrophic or even existential risks.
