Resisting OpenAI! Anthropic plans to raise 10 billion U.S. dollars with a valuation of 350 billion U.S. dollars, while Microsoft and Nvidia continue to invest.

According to informed sources, the AI startup company Anthropic (the developer of chatbot Siasun Robot&Automation Claude) is undergoing a new round of funding, with the company's valuation expected to reach an astonishing $350 billion before this investment. One anonymous source revealed that the AI developer is in negotiations for a $10 billion funding. It is reported that the Singapore sovereign wealth fund GIC and the hedge fund Coatue Management plan to lead this round of funding. A source stated that the total funding amount could still change. Previous reports have confirmed that Microsoft Corporation (MSFT.US) and NVIDIA Corporation (NVDA.US) have jointly invested up to $15 billion in Anthropic and are expected to participate in this round of funding. Both Anthropic and GIC declined to comment. A representative from Coatue did not respond to requests for comment. If the funding is completed at this valuation level, it would mean a significant leap in Anthropic's valuation. In September of last year, the company completed a $13 billion funding at a valuation of $183 billion, establishing its position as one of the most valuable startups globally, highlighting investors' widespread and enduring interest in the AI boom. Founded by former OpenAI employees in 2021, Anthropic has always positioned itself as a trustworthy and secure enterprise. Similar to OpenAI, Anthropic is increasing its investment in chips and data centers to develop more advanced AI systems and promote the wider application of this technology. Its competitor OpenAI was valued at $500 billion in last year's second stock offering. Reports suggest that the ChatGPT manufacturer has been in talks with investors to raise billions of dollars at a valuation of up to $750 billion. Founded by former OpenAI employees in 2021, Anthropic is headquartered in San Francisco and currently has over 300,000 corporate clients. These clients use its models to simplify workplace tasks - especially in computer programming, where the company has become a market leader. However, Anthropic faces fierce competition from OpenAI and Alphabet Inc. Class C. In November of last year, Anthropic launched a new version of its powerful AI model aimed at better automating coding and office tasks as part of its efforts to compete for commercial clients with OpenAI and Alphabet Inc. Class C. Anthropic states that the new model, Claude Opus 4.5, is more capable in software engineering tasks (such as bug fixes) than previous versions and does not require user assistance. The model is also designed to better perform complex multi-step tasks on users' computers and the internet.
