That's a big problem for all of the AI companies. Most people don't find the technology compelling, accurate, or ethical enough to pay for a subscription.

Why wouldn't Anthropic just wait until people start subscribing, do some kind of marketing push, or obtain some kind of other sustainable revenue stream, before they go IPO? I wonder if they see the writing on the wall with all of this and want to cash out as quickly as possible?

The Team plan is ~125 USD / month / user. Big enterprises like Uber are paying upwards of $1500 USD / month / user. Anthropic can raise their revenue a lot more by selling to big enterprises than they can by selling more team plan seats.
