ME News Report, April 7 (UTC+8), Anthropic is in negotiations with several large private equity firms to establish a joint venture. Anthropic plans to invest $200 million, with the joint venture aiming to raise a total of $1 billion. General Atlantic, Blackstone, and Hellman & Friedman are all involved in the negotiations.


This new company will serve as Anthropic’s consulting branch, teaching enterprises how to implement the Claude series AI tools in their operations. Portfolio companies under PE are ideal clients: management teams are already seeking cost reductions, and PE funds can also standardize technological decision-making across the entire investment portfolio. Last month, Anthropic announced a separate $100 million initiative to provide training and technical support for consulting firms helping enterprises deploy Claude.


OpenAI is also advancing similar projects. Its internal joint venture plan, codenamed “DeployCo,” also targets the PE ecosystem, and recently appointed a COO to oversee the project. Executive Fidji Simo revealed on X last month that they plan to station engineers at client companies to teach AI usage methods. (Source: The Wall Street Journal)
