A american technology Anthropic, creator of Artificial Intelligence (IA) tool Claude, today revealed a developed and cheaper version of his state-of-the-art AI model, called Fable 5.2.
The launch precedes the entry of Anthropic on Wall Street, which can break records if the company manages to convince investors, despite the recent fall in technological values and the competition of state-of-the-art AI models.
The company will be able to raise up to 100 billion dollars (about €89,750 million to the current exchange rate), according to the US press, which would make it the largest initial public offer in history, ahead of SpaceX in June (about €86,000 million, equivalent to €77,185 million).
This summer, the shareholders pointed to a valuation of two billion dollars (1.795 billion euros), which in October was reduced to about 1,500 billion dollars (1.346 billion euros), after a slowdown in growth, from one quarter to the next, from 145% to 45%, while the company committed itself to spending around 900,000 million dollars (about 808,000 million euros) in computing capacity in the coming years.
Some investors are now looking at a valuation of between 1,100 and 1,300 billion dollars, according to Bloomberg.
According to Anthropic, each new version of Claude has so far boosted sales – more than 80% of the turnover of the second quarter came from models launched less than six months ago.
Actions related to AI fell again last week after one month of October in which the Nasdaq grant index, with strong technological presence, lost 5.3%, recording the worst month since March 2025.
The devaluations take place at a time when markets anticipate greater regulation of data centres after the Democratic victory in the U.S. mid-term elections of November 3.
Almost all of the company's revenue comes from AI tools. Turnover reached $17,000 million (EUR 15,250 million) in the third quarter, 12 times more than in the previous year.
OpenAI launched GPT-6 Astra in early September and Google revealed Gemini 4 Carbon at the end of October, the latter with a launch price four times lower than that of Fable 5.2.
According to Anthropic, Fable 5.2 produces responses up to 30% faster than the previous version and costs 20% less to companies, but the price remains twice as high as Opus 5.5, the model a level below, currently the company's great commercial success.
The Chinese company Moonshot launched, on November 4, the Kimi K3.1 Pro, an open AI model, which can be downloaded and modified without dependence on its creator, with performance similar to that of the best American models.
Fable 5.2 is accessible to everyone, while Mythos 5.2, its version with less restrictions in terms of applications related to cybersecurity, remains reserved for selected organisations to avoid misuse, such as computer piracy or the design of biological weapons, a precaution OpenAI and Google have been adopting.
