Anthropic Pursuing $10B Funding Round at $350B Valuation, Nearly Doubling Company Value in Three Months
Anthropic is reportedly raising $10 billion at a $350 billion valuation, nearly doubling its worth from $183 billion just three months prior. The round, led by Coatue Management and Singapore's GIC, comes as Anthropic gains developer adoption with Claude Code and prepares for a potential IPO, while rival OpenAI seeks funding at a $750 billion valuation.
Skynet Chance (+0.04%): Massive capital influx enables Anthropic to rapidly scale AI capabilities and compete more aggressively in the AGI race, potentially accelerating development of powerful systems before adequate safety measures are established. The competitive dynamics with OpenAI's even larger valuation may incentivize faster deployment over caution.
Skynet Date (-1 days): The substantial funding and competitive pressure from OpenAI's $750B valuation race significantly accelerates the pace of AI capability development and deployment. This capital enables faster compute acquisition, talent recruitment, and research cycles that could compress timelines for reaching dangerous capability thresholds.
AGI Progress (+0.04%): The doubling of Anthropic's valuation to $350B in three months reflects strong market confidence in their progress toward AGI, particularly with Claude Code showing practical automation capabilities. The massive capital enables scaling compute, research, and development infrastructure critical for AGI advancement.
AGI Date (-1 days): The $10B raise combined with the separate $15B compute deal from Nvidia/Microsoft dramatically accelerates AGI timeline by removing capital constraints and enabling massive scaling of training runs. The competitive funding race between Anthropic and OpenAI creates strong incentives to accelerate development timelines toward AGI capabilities.
