According to informed sources, the artificial intelligence startup Anthropic has not yet officially launched its financing, but some investors have extended an "olive branch," expressing willingness to invest in it at a valuation exceeding $100 billion. In Silicon Valley, it has become common for top AI companies to receive early funding invitations from venture capital firms. Additionally, other informed sources indicate that Anthropic has tentatively planned to initiate a new round of financing, with the company's valuation potentially surpassing $100 billion.
Although the specific details of this transaction with a valuation exceeding $100 billion have not been finalized, the proposed valuation reflects the high risks and intense competition currently in the AI field, highlighting the significant investment and strategic importance of AI research and development for companies. As this news emerges, major tech giants are also engaged in a talent war for AI professionals, with Meta actively recruiting top AI talent from competitors like Anthropic and OpenAI.
Earlier this year, Anthropic raised $3.5 billion in a funding round led by Lightspeed Venture Partners, with the company valued at $61.5 billion at that time. If the new round of financing is completed, its valuation will see a significant leap.
As discussions about Anthropic's subsequent financing spark market interest, the revenue of its chatbot Claude is also experiencing substantial growth. The company's annualized revenue has climbed from $3 billion to $4 billion in the past month, a fourfold increase compared to the beginning of the year.
Founded in 2021 by Daniela Amodei and Dario Amodei, Anthropic is headquartered in San Francisco. The company has developed and improved some of the most outstanding AI applications for writing and correcting computer code. Its investors include Amazon (AMZN.US), Alphabet (GOOGL.US), Menlo Ventures, and Salesforce Ventures, among others
