According to people familiar with the matter, the artificial intelligence lab first sent a copy of a document to the banker showing that it plans to sell about 867 million shares, with an issue price range of 70 to 80 US dollars each, but then sent another email saying that these details were not accurate.

The AI lab is preparing to push for its stock listing. At this time, the market is absorbing the potential impact of the US midterm elections. Technology stock volatility intensifies, and trillions of dollars in market capitalization evaporate in a single day.
