Anthropic has raised USD65 billion in its latest funding round, reaching a post-money valuation of USD965 billion and surpassing rival OpenAI for the first time. The round was led by Altimeter Capital, Dragoneer, Greenoaks and Sequoia Capital. Each lead investor committed more than USD2 billion, Bloomberg reported, citing people with the knowledge of the matter.

Google also purportedly invested several billion US dollars in this round, part of its previously announced commitment to invest up to USD40 billion in Anthropic over time.

Anthropic said Amazon.com, Inc. (AMZN.US) also participated in the round with a USD5 billion investment, which was likewise part of an earlier commitment.

In addition, Micron Technology, Inc. (MU.US), Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix joined the financing, although specific amounts were not disclosed.

OpenAI completed a funding round in March with a valuation of USD852 billion. The company is expected to confidentially file for an IPO in the US within the coming days or weeks.
