SURREY, B.C. - Anthropic has launched the roadshow for its proposed initial public offering, offering shares at $70 to $78 each, as the artificial intelligence company also unveiled its newest Claude models, which it says set a new bar for coding.
Anthropic launched the roadshow on November 10, 2026, for a proposed initial public offering of Class A common stock. The offering covers 825,000,000 shares, of which 801,351,354 are offered by Anthropic and 23,648,646 by selling stockholders. Anthropic will receive no proceeds from the shares sold by the selling stockholders.
The underwriters have a 30-day option to buy up to 123,750,000 additional shares. The expected price range is $70.00 to $78.00 per share. Anthropic has applied to list its Class A common stock on the Nasdaq Global Select Market under the ticker symbol “ANT”. A registration statement has been filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission but is not yet effective, so the offering has not been completed.
The IPO roadshow comes a day after Anthropic introduced Claude Fable 5.2 and Claude Mythos 5.2 on November 9, which the company calls its most capable models for daunting technical work. The two are the same underlying model, offered in different ways. Fable is generally available, with strong safeguards for cyber and biology, while Mythos is available to verified organisations through Anthropic’s Life Sciences and Cyber Verification Programs.
Anthropic says outputs from the new models are up to 30 per cent faster than the previous 5.1 version. Pricing is $8 per million input tokens and $40 per million output tokens, with an optional fast mode at $16 and $80 per million tokens that runs up to 2.5 times faster.
On benchmarks, Claude Fable 5.2 scored 49.1 per cent on FrontierCode 2.0, up from 32.4 per cent for Fable 5.1 and ahead of Opus 5.5 at 45.5 per cent. It scored 69.9 per cent on FrontierSWE v2, a software engineering benchmark. Anthropic says the model formalized Fermat’s Last Theorem in 30 hours using 1,000 agents, designed three working electronic devices from scratch and solved two open problems in black-hole physics. The company also says more than 90 per cent of the changes merged into its core codebase are now written by Claude.
The developments matter in Canada, where Anthropic committed $10 million to Canadian AI research on July 14, 2026. For Surrey, the news lands with developers, students and small businesses that already use Claude for coding, writing and everyday work, and it marks another milestone in an AI industry that is reshaping how local tech workers build software.
Anthropic is one of the leading AI labs, and a listing on the Nasdaq would put the company that builds Claude on the public markets for the first time. Investors will be watching the roadshow closely to see how the market values an AI company whose models are now writing most of its own code.
