Anthropic raises $65B, nears $1T valuation ahead of IPO

Friends, sharing an AI sector update: Anthropic has raised $65 billion in a Series H at a post‑money valuation of $965 billion — likely its final private round before an IPO.

In brief:
- The round was supported by major VCs and institutional investors; the total includes $15B in previously committed capital, including $5B from Amazon.
- Proceeds will fund safety and interpretability research, expand compute for Claude and scale products.
- Claude Opus 4.8 released; broader rollout of Mythos‑level models planned. The company reports a $47B run‑rate and forecasts ~130% revenue growth.

Why it matters: competition for capital and compute in AI intensifies.
