安纳西普预计在首次公开募股后获得高“垃圾”评级，据《金融时报》报道。投资巨头黑石作为其芯片融资的锚定投资者，预计安纳西普将获评投机性“垃圾”级的双B级评级，此前黑石曾预测其将在2027年前获得投资级评级。高“垃圾”评级将使安纳西普更难以低成本融资维持其巨额支出。

Anthropic is expected to receive a high “junk” rating from credit rating agencies following its initial public offering, according to a report from the Financial Times.
The FT says the investment giant Blackstone, the investment giant and anchor investor in a recent $63 billion deal to finance Anthropic’s chips, told investors in the deal that it expects the AI lab to receive a “high” junk rating after its IPO. Previously, the FT notes, Blackstone had said the opposite: that the Claude-maker would receive an investment-grade rating (indicating low risk for lenders) before 2027 rolls around.
Now, Blackstone expects double B range rating, the top tier of speculative “junk” grade, according to the reporting.
TechCrunch reached out to Anthropic and Blackstone but both declined to comment.
Blackstone’s forecast is just a prediction, but naturally, a high junk rating would make it more difficult and costlier for Anthropic to raise the money to keep funding its massive spending that has undergirded its business. The lab has been on a spending spree, wracking up large compute power deals throughout the past 12 months, which has worried investors.
Anthropic officially filed to go public earlier this week, kicking off a wave of speculation about how the massive IPO would impact the broader AI industry.
