Anthropic told investors its third-quarter revenue rose to $16.8 billion ahead of a planned November IPO, a slower growth rate than the prior quarter.

AI brief

Anthropic reported $16.8 billion in third-quarter revenue, a 45 percent increase that is well below the 140 percent growth in the second quarter. Ahead of a planned November IPO, some investors expect the company's valuation to fall below $1.5 trillion.

Why it matters: The slowdown in growth could weigh on Anthropic's valuation as it prepares to go public in November.
