Capital competition for AI unicorns! Anthropic, backed by Amazon and Google, has a valuation of billions of dollars even before receiving any financing.

According to informed sources, the artificial intelligence startup company Anthropic has not officially started financing yet, but investors have extended an "olive branch" and are willing to invest in it at a valuation of over 100 billion US dollars. In Silicon Valley, top artificial intelligence companies receiving investment invitations from venture capital firms in advance has become a norm. Another source stated that Anthropic has preliminarily planned to launch a new round of financing, with a company valuation potentially exceeding 100 billion US dollars. Although the specific details of this over a trillion dollar valuation deal have not been finalized yet, the proposed valuation reflects the high risk and intense competition in the current AI field, as well as the significant investment and strategic importance that companies place on AI research and development. At the same time, major tech giants are engaging in a talent war for artificial intelligence, with Meta actively recruiting top AI talents from competitors such as Anthropic and OpenAI. Earlier this year, Anthropic raised 3.5 billion US dollars in a financing round led by Lightspeed Venture Partners, valuing the company at 61.5 billion US dollars at the time. If the new round of financing is successful, its valuation will experience a significant increase. Amid the market buzz surrounding Anthropic's subsequent financing, the company's chatbot Siasun Robot & Automation Claude's revenue has seen a substantial growth. The company's annualized revenue has increased from 3 billion US dollars to 4 billion US dollars in the past month, which is four times higher than at the beginning of the year. Anthropic is headquartered in San Francisco and was founded by siblings Daniela Amodei and Dario Amodei in 2021. The company has developed and improved some of the best artificial intelligence applications for writing and correcting computer code. Its investors include Amazon.com, Inc. (AMZN.US), Alphabet (GOOGL.US), Menlo Ventures, and Salesforce Ventures, among others.
