alt Hacker NewsWhy are you assuming Anthropic is for sale? They have a clear path to profitability, booming growth, and a massive and mission driven founding team.
They could make more money keeping control of the company and have control.

They are selling, to public equity investors, because they can get a better price that way than selling to another company!

Why are you assuming Anthropic is for sale?
They're preparing for IPO?

I'd love to see evidence for such a thing, because it's not clear to me at all that this is the case.
I personally think they're the best of the model providers but not sure if any foundation model companies (pure play) have a path to profitability.

Assuming by "they" you mean current shareholders (who include Google and Amazon and VCs) if they are selling at least in part, why would at least some of them not be willing to sell their entire stakes?

It depends on how much they can sell for.
