# AI War Intensifies: OpenAI and Anthropic Reportedly Court Wall Street to Form Joint Ventures on Same Day

OpenAI and Anthropic are separately forming joint ventures with the world's most influential financial institutions, aiming to gain an edge in the race to drive broader adoption of artificial intelligence tools.

**According to media reports on Monday, OpenAI has raised over $4 billion from 19 investors, including Tpg, Brookfield Asset Management, Advent, and Bain Capital, to establish a company dedicated to helping enterprises leverage the value of its AI software.** The partners in OpenAI's new joint venture possess a network of over 2,000 portfolio companies and clients, aiming to leverage these relationships to accelerate corporate adoption of AI technologies.

Insiders revealed that OpenAI's new joint venture is named “The Deployment Company.” This funding round values the new entity at $10 billion (excluding the capital formation itself), with OpenAI holding a majority stake and maintaining control.

**Minutes after the news about OpenAI broke, its competitor Anthropic announced that it would partner with Blackstone, Hellman & Friedman, and Goldman Sachs to form a similar company.**

These two initiatives coincide with the rise of the “frontier deployment engineer” role—almost every AI model developer is actively recruiting such talent to explain to enterprises how AI software can optimize business operations. The core objective is to drive larger-scale implementation of AI technology—a sector that has consumed billions of dollars in R&D investment by AI companies, which are still striving to achieve profitability.

For OpenAI and Anthropic, increasing application adoption has become an increasingly urgent task, as both companies have set a target to complete their IPOs as early as this year.
