Google in Talks to Increase Investment in Anthropic, Valuation May Exceed $350 Billion

Jinse Finance reported that Google is in preliminary talks with artificial intelligence company Anthropic, planning to further increase its investment. According to sources, the new round of financing could push Anthropic's valuation above 350 billions USD. The deal may include strategic investment (with Google providing more cloud computing services to Anthropic), convertible bonds, or a new round of priced financing to be launched early next year. The New York Times cited legal documents in March this year, reporting that Google has already invested over 3 billions USD in Anthropic, holding about 14% of its shares. The latest negotiations come as Anthropic and its main competitor OpenAI are engaged in a multi-trillion-dollar competition for dominance in generative artificial intelligence models. Meanwhile, tech giants are forming alliances: Amazon and Google are supporting Anthropic, while Microsoft and Nvidia have invested billions of dollars in OpenAI. (Golden Ten Data)
