Anthropic Considers Funding Round Valuing Company Above $900 Billion

Anthropic, an artificial intelligence startup known for its Claude model, is considering a new funding round that could value the company at over $900 billion, more than doubling its current valuation. This potential valuation would surpass OpenAI's $852 billion valuation, making Anthropic the world's most valuable AI startup. The discussions are at an early stage with no offers accepted yet, and a decision is expected at a board meeting in May. The company is also exploring an initial public offering possibly as soon as October. Major backers like Google and Amazon have made prior investments but their participation in the new round remains uncertain.
