• Anthropic aims to raise $10 billion, valuing the company at $350 billion pre-investment.
• This funding would nearly double its valuation from four months ago.
• The round is expected to be led by Singapore’s GIC and Coatue Management, though terms are still under discussion.
• A prior investment of $13 billion in September valued Anthropic at $183 billion.
• The new capital complements up to $15 billion in planned investments from Nvidia and Microsoft.
