To supply AI ambitions, humanity raises $ 3.5B

On Monday, AI start -ups announced that they have raised $ 3.5 billion in evaluation after $ 61.5 billion in money led by LightSpeed ​​Venture Partners.

According to CRUNCHBASE, Bessemer Venture Partners, Cisco Investments, D1 Capital Partners, Fidelity Management & Research Company, General Catalyst, Jane Street, Menlo From Ventures and Salesforce Ventures, Bessemer Venture Partners, D1 Capital Partners, FIDELITY Management & Research Company, General Catalyst, CRUNCHBASE The series also raised to $ 18.2 billion.

“In this investment, humanity will develop the development of next -generation AI systems, expand computing capacity, deepen research on mechanical analysis and adjustment, and accelerate international expansion.” “Anthropic focuses on developing AI systems, which can serve as a true collaborator, solving complex projects with the team, combining information in the field, and helping the organization to have a big impact.”

Anthropic’s mammoth fundraiser Round comes shortly after the company’s latest flagship AI model Claude 3.7 Sonnet is released. This model is part of ANTHROPIC’s extensive efforts to simplify the user experience of AI products. Today, most AI chatbots have a difficult model picker that allows users to choose from a variety of options with different costs and features. Labs like righteousness do not need to think about it. Ideally, one model performs all tasks.

Anthropic’s business is increasing. Reportedly, the company’s annual sales rate was about $ 1 billion last year. As the company has a rake in cash in the API, it provides a model and sells more subscriptions to AI chatbot Claude, this figure has increased by 30% by 2025. However, Anthropic spends enormous amounts of developing AI systems. The company expects investors to carry $ 3 billion this year according to this year’s information.

To increase profitability, Anthropic focused on unveiling new tools and subscribers, such as “Agent”, desktop clients and mobile applications. The company also opened an office in Europe and created several famous recruitment, including the co-founder of Instagram, Mike Krieger and Openai co-founder Durk Kingma and EX-OPENAI Safety Research Institute.

Anthropic has also strengthened its relationship with Amazon, which has become a major investor and collaborator of startups. Amazon said in November that $ 4 billion will be poured into the human loan and will work with Anthropic to optimize training, a custom AI chip. Amazon also helped to build upgraded Alexa Virtual Assistant Experience (Alexa+) in cooperation with Anthropic.

Anthropic was co -launched by Amodei in 2021, and Amodei was once a vice president of research in Openai and was known to be separated from the company as a disagreement for the roadmap. Amodei brought many OP-OPENAI employees, including Jack Clark, the former policy lead for Openai.

Humanity often attempts to be more safety than Openai.
