The FT says the investment giant Blackstone, the 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.
《金融时报》称，投资巨头黑石集团（Blackstone）作为近期一笔 630 亿美元 Anthropic 芯片融资交易的基石投资者，曾告知该交易的投资者，预计这家人工智能实验室在 IPO 后将获得“高”垃圾评级。
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.
《金融时报》指出，黑石集团此前曾持相反观点，称这家 Claude 的开发商在 2027 年到来之前将获得投资级评级（意味着对贷款方而言风险较低）。据报道，黑石集团目前预计其评级将处于双 B 区间，即投机性“垃圾”评级的最高层级。
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.
TechCrunch 联系了 Anthropic 和黑石集团，但双方均拒绝置评。黑石集团的预测仅为一种预判，但显而易见的是，高垃圾评级将使 Anthropic 更难且更昂贵地筹集资金，以维持其支撑业务所需的巨额支出。
The lab has been on a spending spree, racking 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.
该实验室一直在大肆挥霍，在过去 12 个月中达成了多项大规模计算能力交易，这令投资者感到担忧。Anthropic 本周早些时候正式提交了上市申请，引发了关于此次大规模 IPO 将如何影响更广泛的人工智能行业的猜测浪潮。
