But "Anthropic is a technology company" isn't enough to claim that their IPO valuation is reasonable.

The problem with WeWork's IPO wasn't that they aren't a tech company. It's that they didn't have a good enough business model.

AFAICT, the only one who cares about whether Anthropic, or WeWork, is a technology company, is you.

I didn't claim the valuation is reasonable. I said that the comparison with WeWork is ridiculous.

No, they had a fine business model. It just wasn't worth a technology company multiple.
