Anthropic is reportedly preparing a new US$10 billion funding round at an implied valuation around US$350 billion, led by GIC and Coatue, signaling strong investor appetite for scaled AI platforms.

The company previously raised US$13 billion in a Series F that valued it at about US$183 billion, with early discussions of an IPO as soon as 2026.

Founded in 2021 by former OpenAI executives led by CEO Dario Amodei, Anthropic aims to reach breakeven by 2028 and potentially list publicly in the mid-2020s.

Its product momentum includes Claude Opus 4.5 with Claude Code, enhanced reasoning and long-context capabilities, and guardrails via constitutional AI, driving enterprise use cases like customer-support automation, document analysis, coding copilots, and regulated research workflows.

Anthropic frames its mission around building responsible AI and strives to be a reliable choice for enterprises, power users, and developers.

Claude models are well-regarded among developers for coding tasks, fueling enterprise adoption and revenue ambitions.

Key questions for deploying new capital include prepaying compute, expanding data licensing, accelerating safety research, and advancing edge/on-prem deployment, while governance, red-teaming, and transparency remain critical for trust.

Strategic partnerships with Microsoft and Nvidia, plus a multi-cloud approach with Amazon Web Services as the primary cloud partner and growing compute from Microsoft, underline the importance of collaborations in shaping AI architecture.
