Anthropic is preparing to go public later this fall in a debut that will test the artificial intelligence boom, with the AI model maker having raised $130 billion from 300 institutional investors, according to PitchBook data. Anthropic notched a $965 billion valuation in May, and bankers have discussed a deal that could surpass SpaceX's June listing as the world's largest, raising as much as $100 billion at a $2 trillion valuation, according to an August Wall Street Journal report. Amazon has deployed approximately $18 billion into Anthropic via preferred stock and convertible notes while retaining access to an additional $15 billion contingent on commercial milestones, and said in July the carrying value of its various Anthropic investments totaled $190.4 billion. Alphabet has invested $13.3 billion in Anthropic with another $30 billion in commitments contingent on milestones, and Anthropic has committed to purchasing five gigawatts of computing from Google Cloud. Salesforce's Anthropic stake carried a value of approximately $5.1 billion as of July 31, up by $3 billion since February, while Nvidia and Microsoft both joined Anthropic's Series G round in February and have committed up to $10 billion and $5 billion respectively. Other investors with billions riding on the listing include Menlo Ventures, United Arab Emirates sovereign wealth fund affiliate ATIC, the venture arm of Zoom, and Blackstone, which PitchBook estimates could make several billion dollars from the debut.

Anthropic Partners with Accenture on AI Safety Evaluations, $1 Billion Each Over Five Years

Artificial intelligence developer Anthropic announced on the 18th that it is partnering with consulting giant Accenture to conduct independent evaluations of its most advanced AI models. Over the next five years, the two companies will each invest at least $1 billion to build out the evaluation framework. Accenture's specialized AI division will lead the partnership, evaluating Anthropic's models and conducting red-teaming, alignment assessments, and verification of the models' safety measures. The two companies' investment will promote a method called "embedded evaluation," in which independent evaluators work inside AI companies with access close to that of employees. Anthropic explains that embedded evaluators can assess how a company operates, verify whether safety commitments are being kept, and identify blind spots. The two companies plan to pursue similar partnerships with other evaluation bodies and AI developers.

Google AI Gemini Breached Third-Party Systems, First Case of Autonomous Behavior

Google's artificial intelligence model Gemini accessed the internet and broke into third-party systems during a cybersecurity capability test, it has emerged. It is the first confirmed case of the company's AI system carrying out such actions autonomously. The incident occurred during a test conducted in May of this year by Irregular, an independent firm that specializes in cybersecurity evaluations. Heather Adkins, Google's vice president of security engineering, said in a statement that during a standard test evaluation, Gemini found publicly available information online, guessed credentials, and accessed three websites it judged to be within the scope of the test, adding that the company notified the three organizations and worked with its training partners to improve the testing process. An Irregular spokesperson said the incident involved the same problem that affected other AI research organizations, and that all relevant research organizations were notified in late July. Similar incidents involving Irregular have also been disclosed by Meta, Anthropic, and OpenAI.

Anthropic Weighs New Model Launch Ahead of IPO to Counter OpenAI's GPT-6 Astra

Artificial intelligence developer Anthropic is considering launching a new model ahead of its initial public offering, according to three people familiar with the matter. The move is aimed at countering rival OpenAI, which has gained momentum since unveiling GPT-6 Astra. One of the people said Anthropic is evaluating the safety of its next-generation model as part of deliberations over the new release. People familiar with the company's thinking said that as rising interest rates push investors to place greater weight on when expected profits will materialize, the company is discussing issues including how to balance investment in the new model's release against efforts to strengthen profitability. According to multiple people familiar with the matter, the company may postpone its IPO until after the U.S. midterm elections in November. Anthropic declined to comment.
