Anthropic Valuation Nears $1T, Eclipses OpenAI
- by Laurie Sullivan , Staff Writer, Yesterday
Anthropic has raised $65 billion in Series H funding, valuing the company at $965 billion -- the total value of the company after receiving the new investment.
Claude has attracted global funding from enterprises, with the company's run rate for revenue now crossing $47 billion.
The latest round of funding is expected to advance the company's safety and interpretability research, expand compute power to meet growing demand for Claude, and scale the products and partnerships its customers rely on.
The funding was announced Thursday and was led by Altimeter Capital, Dragoneer, Greenoaks and Sequoia Capital. Other investors included D.E. Shaw & Co., Blackstone Inc. and DST Global.
The most interesting point about this funding round is the major companies standing behind Anthropic.
Joining investors are strategic infrastructure partners -- Micron, Samsung, and SK hynix -- whose technologies play a critical role in the world's supply of memory, storage, and logic chips.
As demand for Claude continues to grow, these relationships will help Anthropic to scale its reliability for computing power at the pace its customers need.
The company's blog defines this framework as a way to explain OpenAI's approach to managing serious risks from advanced AI systems, including internal practices that extend beyond current legal requirements.
It applies relevant parts of that approach and applies this to a public governance document focused on specific regulatory obligations.
OpenAI's framework impacts performance advertising by securing autonomous AI ad-buying systems.
The framework assesses risk and allows advertisers to mitigate potential challenges associated with deceptive AI behavior, data privacy, and content generation.
It ensures legal operational continuity in key markets and monitors areas such as cybersecurity and chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear threats; harmful manipulation; and loss of control.
It also cites model reporting, security risk management, incident response, external expert input, and framework updates.
Models will continue to evolve capabilities and evaluations as regulatory requirements develop. The framework, of course, will also continue to evolve.
The white paper also explains the European Union's General-Purpose AI Code of Practice (the EU's AI CoP).
This FGF serves as OpenAI's publicly available summary of the Safety & Security Framework, describing how the company assesses and mitigates systemic risks and ensures adequate cybersecurity protection for models covered under Regulation (EU) 2024/1689 (the EU AI Act).
