Anthropic raises $65 billion, nears $1T valuation ahead of IPO

# Anthropic's Massive Fundraise Signals Path to Going Public Anthropic, an AI company that makes Claude (a ChatGPT competitor), just raised $65 billion in funding and is now worth nearly $1 trillion—making it one of the most valuable private companies in the world. This funding round is likely its last before the company goes public and sells stock to regular investors, similar to how other major tech companies have done. The enormous valuation shows how much confidence investors have in AI companies right now, even though most of them aren't yet profitable.
