Anthropic is expanding to Europe and raising more money | TechCrunch
Briefly

Anthropic launches Claude AI assistant in Europe with multi-language support, expanding API to fuel faster growth. The startup aims to raise more primary capital on top of the substantial $8 billion already secured.
Anthropic's investor list includes key players like Amazon, Google, Salesforce, SAP, and Zoom. Recent secondary transactions saw Alameda and FTX sell previous shares at a higher value amidst increasing investor interest in AI startups.
Mistral AI, an LLM competitor, is in talks to raise $600 million at a $6 billion valuation, highlighting the significant investor appetite for generative AI startups. Softbank, a notable absence among investors, hints at potential backing opportunities.
While investors are keen on generative AI, consumer reception may vary. Anthropic's iOS app faced lukewarm user feedback, raising questions about the sustainability of current AI hype versus practical application.
