Anthropic凤凰网科技讯 北京时间8月22日，据《纽约时报》报道，高歌猛进的AI公司Anthropic过去一年在争夺AI技术主导权的竞争中不断超越竞争对手。如今，它有望在即将到来的华尔街重磅上市中再度超越这些对手。

B | 两名知情人士透露，在近期与潜在投资者的讨论中，Anthropic的承销银行表示，这家旧金山公司可能寻求通过首次公开招股(IPO)融资超过1000亿美元。这两名人士还称，此次IPO可能赋予该公司高达2万亿美元的估值。

Starting Wednesday, home-made C919 aircraft will fly a daily international route from Beijing to Ulan Bator in Mongolia, marking the first routine international passenger service for the Chinese-built jet.
According to Air China's official App, the flight will depart Beijing Capital International Airport at 3 pm and arrive in Ulan Bator at 5:15 pm local time. The return flight will leave Ulan Bator at 6:30 pm and arrive in Beijing at 8:35 pm.
The C919 is a narrow-body passenger aircraft with a maximum capacity of 192 seats. It is China's first self-developed trunk jetliner, built in accordance with international airworthiness standards and featuring independently registered intellectual property rights.
The newly launched direct flight route is not merely the inauguration of a new commercial route, but also a milestone that marks the official entry of China's homegrown large aircraft into the international civil aviation transport market, Wang Yanan, editor-in-chief of Beijing-based Aerospace Knowledge magazine, told the Global Times on Tuesday. 
In his view, Ulan Bator, roughly 1,200 kilometers from Beijing, is a natural choice for the inaugural route. Its manageable distance allows for same-day round trips, meaning domestic technical support can be on hand quickly during the initial phase. That not only ensures safety and efficiency but also helps build know-how for international operations - all in keeping with a prudent, pragmatic approach to growth.
What matters more, though, is the practical value this route brings, Wang noted. Mongolia's highland climate - with its short summers and harsh winters - poses fresh challenges for failure patterns, maintenance procedures, and spare parts stocking. 
Yet it is only by operating in such varied conditions that we can collect real data, test the aircraft's adaptability, and refine a robust support framework; ultimately, it is through weathering these diverse environments that China's large aircraft will earn its global operational credentials, according to Wang. 
The C919 has already accumulated operational experience on regional routes. It completed its first commercial flight from Shanghai to Beijing on May 28, 2023. On New Year's Day 2025, China Eastern Airlines became the first carrier to deploy the C919 on scheduled flights between Shanghai and Hong Kong. In November 2025, Air China also began operating the C919 on regular flights between Beijing and Hong Kong.
The C919 has safely transported more than 5 million passenger trips since entering commercial service three years ago, and has reached 23 cities in its flight network, its producer the Commercial Aircraft Corporation of China said on its official WeChat account on May 28 this year.
。该公司在上市前已向投资者披露财务更新数据。四名知情人士透露，上个月，这家创业公司的年化收入超过650亿美元，高于去年年底的90亿美元。一名了解相关数据的人士表示，Anthropic第二季度实现营收116亿美元。如果Anthropic以如此规模成功上市，这家成立仅5年的公司将实现有史以来规模最大的IPO。它将超过埃隆·马斯克(Elon Musk)旗下SpaceX，后者在今年6月上市，估值达1.77万亿美元，募资857亿美元。这也将是Anthropic的一次重大飞跃，该公司在今年的一轮私募融资中估值达9000亿美元，并于6月提交了上市申请。目前，Anthropic正向潜在投资者进行初步推介，这一过程包括介绍公司的业务健康状况和增长轨迹，同时评估投资者对其股票的兴趣和需求。Anthropic高管在对潜在投资者的早期推介中表示，他们相信其AI模型将持续改进，这将使公司在竞争对手试图以价格战抢占市场时，仍能继续为其服务收取溢价。投资者已提出质疑，询问该公司计划如何维持高收费，以及将如何应对开放权重模型的兴起。

C | 这类模型会公开其系统运行所依赖的计算参数，因此成本可能低于Anthropic提供的产品。Anthropic预计将在未来几周内公布IPO招股说明书，并在未来几个月内上市交易。

D | Anthropic上市将检验市场在政治和经济不确定性时期对AI股票的需求。自AI技术热潮四年前开启以来，Anthropic将成为继SpaceX之后第二家上市、开发大语言模型的AI实验室。开发ChatGPT聊天机器人的OpenAI也正在与投资者洽谈上市事宜，其IPO可能会在明年进行。(作者/箫雨)更多一手新闻，欢迎下载凤凰新闻客户端订阅凤凰网科技。想看深度报道，请微信搜索“凤凰网科技”。
