Anthropic is in discussions with investors about new financing that could value the company at $900 billion, more than doubling its $380 billion valuation in February, according to a report.



If the talks turn into a deal, the maker of Claude could surpass rival OpenAI to become the most valuable AI startup.



According to a Livemint report, Anthropic is evaluating investor proposals, though no proposal has been accepted.



<h2>Anthropic Valuation Could Skyrocket Soon</h2>



As Anthropic continues to gain momentum, it is intensifying competitive pressure on OpenAI, which is reportedly preparing for a public listing later this year and was valued at $852 billion in a March funding round, the report said, citing Bloomberg. The ChatGPT maker was unable to meet its set targets for revenue and new users.



OpenAI missed its targets for one billion weekly ChatGPT users and annual revenue, largely due to strong competition from Alphabet's (NASDAQ:GOOGL) (NASDAQ:GOOG) Google Gemini.

<h2>Google And Amazon Invest in Anthropic</h2>



Google has committed $10 billion to Anthropic and could invest a further $30 billion if certain targets are met.



Amazon.com Inc. (NASDAQ:AMZN)  has also invested $5 billion in Anthropic with a potential additional $20 billion tied to commercial milestones, reflecting increasing demand for robust AI solutions as the competitive landscape intensifies in the tech industry. The investment adds to the $8 billion Amazon previously invested in Anthropic in 2024.



<h2>Anthropic Strategic Plans</h2>



Founded in 2021 by former OpenAI employees, Anthropic has quickly established itself as a key player in artificial intelligence, building tools that are reshaping how businesses approach areas like coding and cybersecurity.



Earlier this month, the artificial intelligence startup unveiled a new model, Mythos, designed to detect and exploit vulnerabilities in critical software systems. It also introduced its latest AI model, Claude Opus 4.7, which aims to implement new cyber capabilities while acknowledging that they are “not as advanced” as those of its Mythos Preview model. The company is targeting approximately 40 organizations for initial testing, with the goal of refining its cybersecurity tools through real-world applications and feedback.
