$30 billion in inflows, $900 billion in pre-investment, and settlement this month. CFO Krishna Rao firmly refuses the cloud vendor. Four OpenAI-affiliated capital firms join forces to place their bets. The AI war burns from the model layer down to the capital layer—duopolies aren’t a prediction; they’re reality.

AIMPACT announces that the latest $30 billion funding round for Anthropic has been finalized, with a pre-money valuation of $900 billion, expected to close this month. The co-lead investors are Dragoneer, Greenoaks, Sequoia, and Altimeter, each investing at least $200 million, and three of them are major shareholders in OpenAI, indicating the formation of a duopoly in the AI field. CFO Krishna Rao is driving the process, with Google and Amazon not participating; the remaining shares are still under negotiation, and the terms may be adjusted.
