    Why it matters

    Amodei’s September call for a slower pace of AI development set expectations for a cautious rollout, making these frontier models notable. Anthropic remains a private company backed by major tech investors, and an IPO would mark a significant milestone in the generative AI sector. Price cuts may signal efforts to broaden adoption ahead of a public offering.
