Anthropic, the company behind the AI Claude, is apparently preparing a new round of funding. This is according to a report from The Information. According to the report, the startup could be valued between $30 billion to $40 billion. This would be roughly double the value of a previous round of funding earlier this year. Anthropic is a direct competitor to OpenAI and ChatGPT. Anthropic was founded by former OpenAI employees who were dissatisfied with the company’s development and criticized its position on AI security in particular.
