Every post anthropic generates feels like misdirection and bad summarization using AI. There is no sense of who the audience for this post is for and includes a lot of redundant information.

Can't see the relevance of this comment to the post. You can do a Google search for "confidentially submits draft S-1 to the SEC" to see other examples of companies announcing these submissions and they're all written in the same way.

It's just a standard/template that most companies reuse.

> This announcement is being published under Rule 135 of the Securities Act of 1933

It's a required public disclosure following a format traditionally used in mandatory public disclosures.

Is there any real reason to have generated announcements anyway? You could get more polished text with some copy editors and I can't imagine cost is really a big concern for it.

It's a legal notice, what are you talking about?

This is the first time I've seen a Public, Confidential S-1 filing.

I suppose they announced it because the fact that they submitted it would leak anyway.

Can someone help me understand how its "confidential" if they blog about it? Perhaps they simply mean the details of the S-1 are confidential for now?

The contents are confidential. They are just announcing they submitted it.

The S-1 itself isn't made public in a confidential filing.

I'm curious to know if they generated this with Claude and what the prompt looked like.

Of course that fundraise was the last one: [0], everyone getting ready to dump their pre-IPO shares on to you as China catches up with their open models.

Better to do it now than to wait a day longer and the tokens are not getting any cheaper here.

Obviously OpenAI will file for IPO certainly this month, or even this week in response both SpaceX, and Anthropic.

Then AGI will then have been achieved externally.

Expect the token price to correlate with the stock price.
