Bloomberg Tech host Ed Ludlow reports on the funding deal. Anthropic has completed a deal to raise $30 billion in funding from investors at a $380 billion valuation, including the money raised, bolstering the artificial intelligence company as it gains ground on rival OpenAI. Singapore’s sovereign wealth fund GIC and Coatue Management led the deal, Anthropic said Thursday. D.E. Shaw & Co., Dragoneer Investment Group, Peter Thiel’s Founders Fund, Iconiq and MGX co-led the round, along with participation from a who’s who of other investors, from Sequoia Capital and Lightspeed Venture Partners to Big Tech firms Nvidia Corp. and Microsoft Corp. The latest funding round roughly doubles Anthropic’s prior valuation — making it one of the world’s most valuable private companies. (Source: Bloomberg)

Every economic development creates ripples that affect employment, prices, and opportunities in ways that may not be immediately visible but are deeply felt.
