Google is presently in the early stages of discussions with Anthropic, aiming to strengthen their investment partnership. According to insider sources, this upcoming funding round could potentially place Anthropic's valuation at more than $350 billion. Currently, these negotiations are still in progress, and the specifics have yet to be fully determined.
Potential avenues for collaboration might encompass Google extending additional cloud computing services to Anthropic, offering convertible bonds, or taking part in a fresh round of priced financing slated for early next year. The exact sum of Google's investment in this round, along with whether other investors will join in, is still shrouded in uncertainty.
