Anthropic is considering the launch of a new artificial intelligence model to counter momentum from rival OpenAI. The move targets the market share of OpenAI’s GPT-6 Astra model, which has gained significant traction with business clients.
Deliberations coincide with Anthropic’s preparations for an anticipated Initial Public Offering (IPO). This potential launch follows a public call from CEO Dario Amodei to slow the pace of AI development due to safety risks.
Internal teams are currently evaluating the safety of the new model. The company is balancing mounting competitive pressures against its established safety-first identity.
