Anthropic raises $3.5 billion at $61.5 billion valuation

Anthropic has announced raising $3.5 billion in investment at a valuation of $61.5 billion. The round was led by Lightspeed Venture Partners with participation from leading investment companies, including Bessemer Venture Partners, Cisco Investments, D1 Capital Partners, Fidelity Management & Research Company, and others.

The funds will be directed toward developing next-generation AI systems, expanding computing capacity, deepening research in mechanistic interpretability and alignment, as well as the company’s international expansion.

This announcement follows the launch of Claude 3.7 Sonnet and Claude Code, demonstrating Anthropic’s continued product and commercial growth. Claude 3.7 Sonnet has set a new standard in programming capabilities — an area where the company plans to achieve further progress in the coming months.

Anthropic’s business successes are impressive:

  • Replit integrated Claude into its “Agent” service for transforming natural language into code, resulting in a 10-fold increase in revenue
  • Thomson Reuters’ CoCounsel platform uses Claude to assist tax specialists
  • Novo Nordisk reduced the time to write clinical research reports from 12 weeks to 10 minutes
  • Claude now supports Alexa+, providing advanced AI capabilities to millions of households and Prime members

Companies from various industries — from fast-growing startups like Cursor and Codeium to global corporations such as Zoom, Snowflake, and Pfizer — use Claude to transform their operations. Anthropic focuses on developing AI systems capable of acting as true co-performers, working together with teams on complex projects, synthesizing information from different fields, and helping organizations achieve outstanding results.
