(Central News Agency, Mountain View, California, April 24, Comprehensive Foreign Report) Bloomberg News reported today that Alphabet, Google's parent company, plans to invest up to $40 billion (NT$1.2584 trillion) in artificial intelligence (AI) startup Anthropic, deepening the partnership between the two tech giants.
The report indicates that Google has currently committed $10 billion in cash, and if Anthropic achieves performance targets, Google will inject an additional $30 billion, also assisting the company in significantly expanding its computing capabilities. Anthropic's valuation is approximately $350 billion.
Anthropic and Google have not immediately responded to Reuters' request for comment.
This news comes days after Anthropic announced that Amazon would invest up to $25 billion in them, demonstrating the continuously rising market interest in the developer of the AI assistant Claude model.
Due to strong demand for the Claude series models, Anthropic is actively seeking more computing resources and has recently signed several major cooperation agreements.
Earlier this month, Anthropic reached an AI computing cooperation agreement with Broadcom and Google, and announced a multi-year contract with cloud infrastructure company CoreWeave. Additionally, it expects to acquire nearly 1GW (Gigawatt) of computing power through Amazon chips by the end of this year.
Amid surging demand, Anthropic's annualized revenue this month has surpassed $30 billion, a significant increase from approximately $9 billion at the end of 2025. Anthropic focuses on training its AI models for software development, thus possessing a large number of enterprise clients.
In its February fundraising round, Anthropic raised $30 billion, attracting significant investor attention, bringing its valuation to $380 billion. It is rumored that some venture capital firms have even valued it as high as $800 billion. (Compiler: Hsu Jui-cheng) 1150425
