The artificial intelligence industry is facing financial and political pressure after Anthropic set a lower-than-expected valuation target for its planned public offering, according to Axios.

💡
The company said it aims to raise up to $64.4 billion at a valuation of as much as $1.4 trillion. That is about $600 billion below estimates discussed months earlier, amid slower revenue growth, rising infrastructure expenses and a market downturn.

Anthropic reported annualised revenue of $81 billion in October, while its future commitments to computing infrastructure approach $901 billion.

The setback follows election gains by AI-sceptical Democrats, local opposition to data-centre projects and a decline in Nvidia’s market value after reports involving CEO Jensen Huang.

OpenAI has also reduced fundraising ambitions, while SoftBank recorded losses linked partly to data-centre equipment.

Despite the turmoil, Anthropic has secured backing from technology companies. Investors will now watch whether its IPO can restore confidence in the broader sector.
