Anthropic, PBC filed a registration statement on Form S-1 with the US Securities and Exchange Commission for a proposed initial public offering of its Class A common stock. The shares are proposed to list on the Nasdaq Global Select Market under the symbol ANT. Teams building on Claude can read the filing as a signal about the vendor's financial footing, but nothing changes in pricing or access until the registration is effective. If you use Anthropic, read the announcement itself, Anthropic files S-1 with the SEC for proposed initial public offering (Anthropic, 26 October 2026), and our Claude review.

What we could not verify
We left out odysseus-dev/odysseus, which shows 94,891 GitHub stars, because its forks per star (0.019) sit under 0.02, the line where our intake holds a repo for a human check. 2 smaller trending repos were held for the same reason. "The discounts are estimated to save the government $1 billion (Anthropic)" is Anthropic's own figure; we have not tested it. Our score for each of the 1,736 tools measures what a careful reader can check: public pricing, documentation, maintenance, and for open source the GitHub record. It does not measure whether a tool is pleasant to use or right for you. How the score works.
