Reuterswire copy
Anthropic is weighing the release of a new AI model to defend its enterprise lead against OpenAI’s GPT-6 Astra ahead of an anticipated IPO, while CEO Dario Amodei urged a global slowdown on releasing new capabilities for safety reasons. OpenAI’s Astra has drawn strong enterprise interest and could pressure Anthropic’s market position, though both companies say Astra isn’t a major threat to Anthropic’s lead; the IPO timeline may shift to after the U.S. midterm elections.
