Introduzione

Prediction market platform Kalshi has sold $1.12 billion of a $1.5 billion equity offering, with $380 million still available, according to a recent SEC filing. The offering, which began on April 3, involves 71 investors and uses an exemption from SEC registration. This news follows Kalshi's announcement of a $1 billion Series F funding round in May, though it is unclear if this current offering is part of that round. The filing comes as Kalshi faces regulatory challenges, including a recent court order in Washington state to halt offering a range of event contracts there.

Prediction market operator Kalshi disclosed that $1.12 billion has been sold under a $1.5 billion equity offering that began in April, according to a filing with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).

The Form D, filed Tuesday, lists 71 investors and identifies April 3 as the date of the first sale. About $380 million remains to be sold under the offering.

The filing identifies the securities as equity and says Kalshi is relying on Rule 506(b) of Regulation D, an exemption that allows companies to sell securities without registering them with the SEC, subject to certain requirements.

Kalshi announced a $1 billion Series F funding round in early May at a $22 billion valuation.

The Form D does not state whether the reported offering is the Series F. Cointelegraph contacted Kalshi for clarification but had not received a response by publication.

The filing comes as Kalshi faces legal challenges from US states over its offerings. In mid-August, a Washington state judge ordered the platform to stop offering a broad range of event contracts in the state, rejecting Kalshi’s argument that federal law overrides the state’s gambling laws.

Breaking: Opus 5.1 Rumored for Release This Week, Threatening a Major Reshuffle of Top AI Agents

Breaking: Rumors suggest the new Opus 5.1 model from Anthropic will be released this week, potentially reshaping the AI agent landscape. The model reportedly focuses on dramatically improving "intelligence per token," with key upgrades in coding prowess, complex reasoning, and long-running autonomous agent capabilities. This rapid release follows the recent Opus 5 launch and appears to be a response to intense competition. OpenAI is rumored to have completed pre-training of a massive 10-trillion parameter model called "Bel," the foundation for its upcoming Astra and GPT-6. A market prediction site indicates a 74% probability that Anthropic will release its next flagship model (likely Mythos or Fable 5.1) within about two weeks, signaling an unprecedentedly dense wave of major model releases in the coming months. However, a business challenge is emerging. Despite its capabilities, Anthropic's top-tier Fable 5 model reportedly accounts for only about 11% of enterprise AI tool spending, as clients opt for more cost-effective "good enough" alternatives like Opus 5. This highlights a potential crisis where the most advanced models may not be the most commercially viable. The context is Anthropic's impending IPO, with a potential valuation reaching $2 trillion. CEO Dario Amodei has reportedly raised a pointed question in interviews, asking candidates if they would accept the company's stock price falling to zero for AI safety reasons, underscoring the tension between commercial ambition and ethical mission. The stage is set for a major reshuffle in the AGI/ASI race, driven by capital, compute power, and competing visions for the future of AI.
