Anthropic is in talks to raise up to $10 billion in new funding.

According to knowledgeable sources, Anthropic is about to secure a new funding round of up to $10 billion. This figure is higher than expected and is one of the largest funding rounds for an artificial intelligence startup to date.

Insiders report that negotiations are still ongoing and the final figure may change. Previous reports indicated that Anthropic is in advanced discussions and plans to raise $5 billion in this funding round, with a valuation of $170 billion. Insiders say this number has increased significantly due to strong demand from investors. It is reported that investment firm Iconiq Capital will lead this funding round. Other expected participants include TPG Inc., Lightspeed Venture Partners, Spark Capital, and Menlo Ventures, according to insiders. Anthropic has also discussed with the Qatar Investment Authority and Singapore's national investment fund, the Government of Singapore Investment Corporation (GIC), about participating in this round of negotiations.
