AI startup Anthropic is reportedly negotiating to raise $2 billion in a funding round led by Lightspeed Venture Partners, which would elevate its valuation to $60 billion. This move would increase Anthropic's total capital raised to $15.7 billion. The company aims to expand its operations amid a competitive AI landscape, where significant funding is crucial for technology development. The latest round follows a $4 billion investment from Amazon, establishing a key partnership for AI model training. Anthropic is set to become the fifth-most valuable U.S. startup if the deal is finalized.
