Anthropic Eyes $965B IPO as AI Labs Push Self-Regulation and Infrastructure Overhaul

Anthropic is reportedly scheduling investor meetings for a potential October IPO, with Morgan Stanley and Goldman Sachs testing the waters for a $965 billion valuation following a confidential S-1 filing. The company also drew criticism from the European Parliament after sending a junior employee to deliver AI-generated video testimony in place of its public policy head. On the infrastructure front, Perplexity unveiled a custom Firecracker microVM called SPACE, cutting agent environment creation latency from 447ms to 89ms and reducing sandbox costs by 80%. Vercel's execution sandbox is scaling rapidly, now generating 3.5 million environments daily with 100% month-over-month growth in daily active users. Separately, a proposed self-regulatory framework for frontier AI labs, modeled on FINRA, is facing international skepticism over concerns it could be used to sideline formal European and UK regulations.
