According to reports, this is an additional investment by Google on the basis of its earlier investment in the company, and it also adds fuel to the competition among AI startups trying to achieve “the next big breakthrough” in the field. “.
People familiar with the matter revealed that Google has invested $500 million in Anthropic upfront and agreed to add an additional $1.5 billion over time. Google’s investment follows Amazon’s commitment last month to invest $4 billion in the company.
Note: Anthropic was founded in 2021 by a former OpenAI engineer. It owns the chat robot Claude and is regarded as a strong rival of ChatGPT developer OpenAI. Five years ago, OpenAI made an offer to cooperate with Amazon, but was rejected. Later, OpenAI switched to Microsoft, leading Microsoft to lead the current wave of generative AI.
In an effort to catch up, Amazon last week invested heavily in OpenAI’s top rival, Anthropic. Under the deal, Amazon will invest $4 billion in Anthropic to compete with rivals such as Microsoft and Google in the AI field.
