Anthropic is in advanced talks to raise a massive new funding round that could value the company higher than OpenAI, according to people familiar with the matter.
The AI startup, backed by Amazon and Google, is seeking several billion dollars at a valuation that would place it among the most valuable private AI companies in the world. The round is expected to be led by existing investors and could close in the coming weeks.
This development underscores the intense competition and skyrocketing valuations in the generative AI sector, where Anthropic’s Claude models continue to gain significant market share against OpenAI’s GPT series.
