   Anthropic moves toward giant IPO while Nvidia CEO faces resignation reports amid scandal

   Anthropic is preparing a large initial public offering and deepening its relationship with Nvidia, according to The New York Times. The company faces significant spending on artificial intelligence and employee stock compensation that may cloud its financial picture. Separately, reports indicate Nvidia founder and CEO Jensen Huang has resigned, with CFO Colette Kress set to serve as interim CEO, following allegations involving an affair and a possible Chinese spy. These overlapping events connect Anthropic's public-market plans directly to Nvidia's leadership crisis.

   Why it matters

   Anthropic's IPO plans tie the AI startup more closely to Nvidia, its key chip supplier, at a moment when Nvidia is contending with a scandal around its founder. The Times has reported on Anthropic's spending plans and its IPO connection to Nvidia, while separate reports describe Huang's resignation and interim leadership by Kress. The Ringer published a detailed guide to the Jensen Huang-Nvidia scandal on November 10, 2026. The combination leaves Anthropic's offering exposed to uncertainty at its most important hardware partner.
