Eisenhower<\/strong> off the Virginia coast resulted in two naval aviators ejecting and four sailors injured, one of whom was hospitalized.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Anthropic IPO Prospectus Reveals Massive Scale and Risks<\/h2>\n<p>AI startup <strong>Anthropic<\/strong> is moving toward a historic public debut, with a leaked IPO prospectus highlighting the company&#39;s staggering growth and equally massive capital requirements. The company, which recently raised funds at a <strong>$965 billion valuation<\/strong>, is reportedly targeting a valuation exceeding <strong>$2 trillion<\/strong> for its public listing.<\/p>\n<p>The filing reveals that Anthropic spent <strong>$7.33 billion<\/strong> on compute and infrastructure last year alone, contributing to a total operating loss of nearly <strong>$42 billion<\/strong>. Despite these costs, the company is projecting an annual revenue run rate of <strong>$65 billion<\/strong> by the end of 2026, with long-term targets reaching <strong>$200 billion<\/strong> by 2028. In an unusual move, the prospectus warns investors of &quot;existential risks,&quot; noting that advanced AI could exhibit &quot;self-preserving behaviors&quot; or &quot;resist shutdown.&quot;<\/p>\n<h2>Singapore Ramps Up Equities Market Support<\/h2>\n<p>The <strong>Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS)<\/strong> announced a major expansion of its <strong>Equity Market Development Programme (EQDP)<\/strong>, allocating <strong>S$1.45 billion<\/strong> to five global asset managers: <strong>Amundi<\/strong>, <strong>Franklin Templeton<\/strong>, <strong>HSBC Asset Management<\/strong>, <strong>M&amp;G Investments<\/strong>, and <strong>Natixis Investment Managers<\/strong>. This move brings the total capital deployed under the program to <strong>S$5.4 billion<\/strong> out of a total <strong>S$6.5 billion<\/strong> pool.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to the asset management mandate, MAS is launching a <strong>S$20 million<\/strong> market-making sleeve under the <strong>GEMS scheme<\/strong>. This grant is specifically designed to support liquidity for approximately <strong>80 small- and mid-cap stocks<\/strong> on the <strong>Singapore Exchange (<a href=\"\/stock\/SGX:S68\">SGX:S68<\/a>)<\/strong>. The initiative aims to tighten bid-ask spreads and reduce execution costs for investors, addressing long-standing concerns regarding trading volume in the local market.<\/p>\n<h2>China Targets &quot;High-Quality&quot; Consumption Growth<\/h2>\n<p>Beijing is intensifying its efforts to stave off an economic slowdown by urging local governments to pilot new, &quot;high-quality&quot; consumption policies. The directive follows a string of weak data, including an <strong>August retail sales<\/strong> increase of just <strong>0.4%<\/strong>, the slowest pace in years. Premier <strong>Li Qiang<\/strong> has called for a &quot;policy package&quot; that includes interest rate subsidies and the accelerated use of <strong>250 billion yuan ($36.9 billion)<\/strong> in ultra-long special treasury bonds.<\/p>\n<p>The new measures focus on &quot;smart home&quot; consumption, green products, and rural market upgrades. Local authorities have been granted greater flexibility to design subsidy programs for consumer goods trade-ins. This fiscal push coincides with a nationwide holiday spending campaign involving <strong>$46 million<\/strong> in subsidies and over <strong>20,000 cultural events<\/strong> aimed at boosting tourism during the Mid-Autumn and National Day periods.<\/p>\n<h2>US Navy Reports Mishap on USS Dwight D. Eisenhower<\/h2>\n<p>The <strong>U.S. Navy<\/strong> confirmed an aircraft recovery incident aboard the <strong>USS Dwight D. Eisenhower (CVN 69)<\/strong> on Monday evening. The mishap occurred at approximately 6:18 p.m. while the Nimitz-class carrier was conducting flight operations off the coast of Virginia. Two naval aviators from <strong>Carrier Air Wing 3<\/strong> were forced to eject from their aircraft but were safely recovered by search-and-rescue teams.<\/p>\n<p>Four additional shipboard personnel sustained injuries during the incident. While three were treated on the ship, one sailor was transported to a <strong>Norfolk-area hospital<\/strong> for non-life-threatening injuries. The Navy has launched an investigation into the cause of the mishap, which occurred during routine landing operations.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Key Takeaways Anthropic has
