Anthropic is considering a new AI model as OpenAI's GPT-6 Astra gains traction with business customers, according to three Reuters sources cited by Tbreak. Some investors have reassessed Anthropic's position in enterprise AI following OpenAI's release this month.

One person familiar with the matter said Anthropic is evaluating the model's safety as part of its deliberations. The possible release also comes as the company prepares for a potential initial public offering. Anthropic has not confirmed the model, a launch date or an IPO timetable.
