Anthropic’s IPO filing makes Google part of both its funding and computing disclosures, with a potential $10 billion share purchase and Google TPUs in the AI company’s hardware setup.

Google could acquire Class N common stock in a private placement conducted at the IPO price. The filing reports no exercise of the option. Any purchase would reduce the remaining capacity under a separate Google financing facility by the same amount, up to $10 billion.

Anthropic has not supplied the IPO price range or total number of shares. Those terms leave the option’s per-share price and potential share count unspecified. The company proposes ANT as its Nasdaq ticker.

The computing inventory in Anthropic’s Nov. 2 filing includes Google TPUs, Nvidia and AMD GPUs, and Amazon’s AWS Trainium chips. EconoTimes previously covered the Google share option and open IPO terms.
