According to a report<\/a> Wednesday (July 16) by Bloomberg News, the artificial intelligence (AI) startup is planning a new investment round that could bring it to that valuation.<\/p>\n

The report, citing sources familiar with the matter, said that Anthropic is not formally fundraising, though pre-emptive funding offers from venture capitalists to high profile AI startups have become standard in Silicon Valley. Investors have approached Anthropic signaling they would invest at a valuation north of $100 billion, the sources said.<\/p>\n

Anthropic was valued at $61.5 billion<\/a> earlier this year following a $3.5 billion funding round. PYMNTS has contacted the company for comment but has not yet gotten a reply.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The report notes that the investment discussions are taking place amid a surge in revenue<\/a> from Claude, Anthropic\u2019s chatbot, with annualized revenue jumping from $3 billion to $4 billion in the past month.<\/p>\n

Founded in 2021, Anthropic\u2019s investors include both Google<\/a> and Amazon<\/a>, the latter of which is said to be weighing a new multibillion dollar injection into the company on top of the $8 billion it has already invested<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, PYMNTS spoke earlier this week with Jonathan \u201cJP\u201d Pelosi<\/a>, head of FSI at Anthropic, about the company\u2019s new Claude for Financial Services offering, an AI solution designed for analysts, portfolio managers and underwriters at large financial institutions.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s the first industry-specific service that Anthropic has formally introduced, Pelosi said.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhere we saw a lot of traction early on was with these high-trust industries<\/a>,\u201d he added. \u201cOur models, our solutions, are just very well positioned to help these firms.\u201d<\/p>\n

Still, the AI industry has a lot to prove before chief financial officers grow comfortable with the technology, according to the PYMNTS Intelligence report \u201cThe Agentic Trust Gap: Enterprise CFOs Push Pause on Agentic AI.\u201d\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n

That report found concerns about the technology that include hallucinations, where an AI agent can go off script and expose companies to cascading payment errors and other inaccuracies.<\/p>\n

For highly regulated industries such as financial services, the accurate responses of generative AI models are critical, and Pelosi said the new tool comes through on that front.<\/p>\n

The worry over hallucinations has \u201csignificantly stymied meaningful adoption in the financial industry,\u201d Pelosi said. \u201cIf you and I are in the business of making very large investments or analysis on very high-stakes transactions, we don\u2019t have the luxury of saying, \u2018Hopefully that [calculation is] right.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

Still, Pelosi stopped short of saying Anthropic has completely solved hallucinations.<\/p>\n

Anthropic isn\u2019t saying that \u201cClaude would never hallucinate again,\u201d he said, though \u201cit\u2019s making it easier and easier to validate the numbers that you\u2019re making very big decisions on.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"According to a report Wednesday (July 16) by Bloomberg News, the artificial intelligence (AI) startup is planning a…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":70162,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[21],"tags":[691,24142,738,38394,304,4209,50,751,158,67,132,68,756],"class_list":{"0":"post-70161","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-artificial-intelligence","8":"tag-ai","9":"tag-anthropic","10":"tag-artificial-intelligence","11":"tag-claude","12":"tag-generative-ai","13":"tag-investments","14":"tag-news","15":"tag-pymnts-news","16":"tag-technology","17":"tag-united-states","18":"tag-unitedstates","19":"tag-us","20":"tag-whats-hot"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/114869171911587980","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/70161","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=70161"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/70161\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/70162"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=70161"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=70161"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=70161"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
