## Summary

Anthropic has filed a more than 300-page prospectus with US regulators as it prepares for an IPO, revealing details about executive pay, spending commitments and company governance. The disclosures show the scale of the resources it expects to need and the unusual arrangements through which its founders plan to retain influence.

Chief executive Dario Amodei received nearly $18 million in compensation last year and President Daniela Amodei received $16.4 million; the company also paid for their security and transport. Anthropic disclosed plans for substantial computing commitments, including up to $120.5 billion for SpaceX capacity by 2029, alongside large agreements with Microsoft, Google and Amazon. Its seven co-founders will control 50.1 per cent of shareholder voting power on key matters through Founder LLC, and the filing identifies OpenAI and Google as its direct competitors.
