Anthropic 超越 OpenAI，成为全球估值最高的 AI 初创公司
Anthropic has become the most valuable artificial intelligence startup in the world, surpassing OpenAI in market valuation. Following a new funding round, the valuation of the developer behind the Claude AI assistant has approached the $1 trillion mark, reports a Qazinform News Agency correspondent.
Anthropic 已成为全球估值最高的人工智能初创公司，在市场估值上超越了 OpenAI。据哈萨克斯坦国际通讯社（Qazinform）记者报道，在完成新一轮融资后，这家 Claude AI 助手开发商的估值已接近 1 万亿美元大关。
Anthropic announced that it had raised $65 billion in a Series H funding round. The largest investors included Altimeter Capital, Dragoneer, Greenoaks, and Sequoia Capital. Following the deal, Anthropic officially overtook OpenAI in market valuation and became the largest AI company among Silicon Valley’s private startups.
Anthropic 宣布已在 H 轮融资中筹集了 650 亿美元。主要投资者包括 Altimeter Capital、Dragoneer、Greenoaks 和红杉资本（Sequoia Capital）。此次交易后，Anthropic 在市场估值上正式超越 OpenAI，成为硅谷私营初创公司中规模最大的 AI 企业。
The new valuation is nearly three times higher than the company’s February valuation, when Anthropic was estimated to be worth around $380 billion. The funding package also included previously agreed investments, including $5 billion from Amazon.
这一新估值几乎是该公司今年 2 月估值（当时约为 3800 亿美元）的三倍。此次融资方案还包括此前已达成的投资，其中包括来自亚马逊的 50 亿美元。
The main driver behind Anthropic’s growth is said to be the popularity of its Claude AI assistant and the Claude Code service, which is widely used by software developers. The company reported that its annual revenue had grown to $47 billion. Last year, the figure stood at about $10 billion.
据悉，推动 Anthropic 增长的主要动力是其 Claude AI 助手和被软件开发者广泛使用的 Claude Code 服务的普及。该公司报告称，其年收入已增长至 470 亿美元，而去年这一数字约为 100 亿美元。
At the same time, Anthropic introduced its new artificial intelligence model, Claude Opus 4.8, as well as the closed system Claude Mythos Preview, which offers enhanced cybersecurity capabilities for corporate clients. Anthropic Chief Financial Officer Krishna Rao stated that demand for Claude products continues to grow rapidly around the world.
与此同时，Anthropic 推出了其全新人工智能模型 Claude Opus 4.8，以及为企业客户提供增强型网络安全功能的封闭系统 Claude Mythos Preview。Anthropic 首席财务官 Krishna Rao 表示，全球对 Claude 产品的需求仍在持续快速增长。
It is noted that Anthropic’s rise has intensified competition in the artificial intelligence market. In March, OpenAI was valued at $852 billion following a record $122 billion funding round. At the same time, the largest AI companies are preparing for public listings. According to CNBC, OpenAI may file for an initial public offering (IPO) within the coming weeks. Anthropic is also considering a public stock offering, although the exact timing has not yet been disclosed.
值得注意的是，Anthropic 的崛起加剧了人工智能市场的竞争。今年 3 月，OpenAI 在完成 1220 亿美元的创纪录融资后，估值达到 8520 亿美元。与此同时，各大 AI 巨头正准备上市。据 CNBC 报道，OpenAI 可能在未来几周内提交首次公开募股（IPO）申请。Anthropic 也在考虑公开上市，但具体时间尚未披露。
