Anthropic's seven founders plan to sell 3,378,378 shares each in its initial public offering, according to TechCrunch. The company has proposed a price range of $70 to $78 per share, which would give each founder about $236 million to $264 million.

At the midpoint price of $74, each founder would receive just under $250 million. The group includes Dario Amodei, Daniela Amodei, Tom Brown, Jack Clark, Jared Kaplan, Sam McCandlish and Christopher Olah.

After the sales, each founder will own about 3.2% of the outstanding Class A shares, or roughly 22% collectively. Each will also receive one Class F share with additional voting rights, leaving the founders with 51.1% of the votes as a group, with no single founder holding significantly more than the others.

This Tensordyne whitepaper presents Napier, an inference-focused AI processor and rack-scale system based on the company’s TDN Math logarithmic number system.

The paper reports simulation-based performance, cost, and accuracy-validation results, including Tensordyne’s projected comparison of one Napier rack with a nine-rack Nvidia Rubin plus Groq deployment; the chip is reported as taped out and in fabrication.
