Anthropic has raised $13 billion in a new funding round led by Amazon, according to people familiar with the deal cited by Reuters. The Series F round values the artificial intelligence startup at $150 billion after the investment, underscoring how quickly capital continues to pour into leading AI developers.
The company, known for its Claude chatbot and its focus on AI safety, has become one of the most closely watched competitors in the fast-moving generative AI market. The latest financing gives Anthropic fresh resources to expand its models, infrastructure and commercial reach as it competes with other major players in the sector.
Amazon’s backing deepens an already significant relationship between the two companies and reflects Big Tech’s continued willingness to invest heavily in frontier AI systems. The size of the round also signals that investors still see room for large-scale growth in the sector, despite rising questions about profitability, regulation and the cost of training advanced models.
The deal adds another milestone to a year of record-setting AI fundraising and valuation growth. It also highlights how the industry’s leading firms are increasingly defined not just by product launches, but by the scale of the capital behind them.
