"Anthropic, the AI startup behind the chatbot Claude, finalized a deal on Tuesday for a new, $13 billion Series F funding round that catapults its valuation from $61.5 billion to $183 billion, making it one of the most valuable startups ever. Anthropic has more than 300,000 business customers and has seen a sevenfold increase in its number of large clients with projects above $100,000 in the past year, the company said in a statement."
"Anthropic was initially planning to raise $5 billion, but raised the target to $10 billion following strong demand. The end $13 billion figure arose from more investors wanting to get a stake in the popular startup. Anthropic CEO and co-founder Dario Amodei.

Anthropic closed a $13 billion Series F that lifted its valuation from $61.5 billion to $183 billion. The company serves more than 300,000 business customers and experienced a sevenfold increase in large clients with projects over $100,000 in the past year. Strong investor demand pushed the raise beyond an initial $5 billion target to $10 billion and ultimately $13 billion. Reported run-rate revenue rose from $1 billion at the start of the year to over $5 billion by August. Anthropic joins other high-valuation startups while OpenAI remains further ahead in total capital raised.
