Anthropic Hits $380B Valuation
Anthropic reached a $380 billion valuation after completing a $30 billion Series G funding round, highlighting the explosive growth in the AI sector. Google DeepMind also introduced Aletheia, an AI agent transitioning from math competitions to fully autonomous professional research.
- The $30 billion Series G funding round was led by Singapore's sovereign wealth fund GIC and investment firm Coatue. Other significant investors included D. E. Shaw Ventures, Dragoneer, and Founders Fund, with participation from previous investors like Microsoft and NVIDIA. - This new valuation marks a significant increase from previous funding rounds; in September 2025, Anthropic was valued at $183 billion after a $13 billion Series F round. - Anthropic's annualized revenue reached $14 billion in less than three years since earning its first dollar. The number of customers spending over $1 million annually now exceeds 500, and eight of the ten largest Fortune companies are Claude customers. - The company's coding assistant, Claude Code, has been a significant driver of growth, reaching $2.5 billion in annualized revenue in February 2026. - Google DeepMind's Aletheia is powered by an advanced version of Gemini Deep Think and utilizes a three-part "agentic harness" consisting of a generator, a verifier, and a reviser to iteratively produce, check, and correct solutions in natural language. - To avoid "hallucinations" or fabricated information, Aletheia uses Google Search and web browsing to access and synthesize real-world information from scientific literature. - Aletheia has demonstrated significant performance improvements, achieving 95.1% accuracy on the IMO-Proof Bench Advanced, a benchmark for advanced mathematical problems, up from a previous record of 65.7%. - In a notable achievement, Aletheia autonomously generated a research paper on arithmetic geometry and resolved four open questions from the Erdős Conjectures database.
