    Bloomberg says Schmidt holds about 1% stake in Anthropic

    According to Bloomberg, former Google CEO Schmidt participated in Anthropic's Series A funding round in 2021, investing tens of millions of dollars, and currently holds about 1% of the company. The report says this proportion is about half of the 2% held by co-founder and CEO Dario Amodei; Anthropic is widely expected to go public before the end of the year, with a maximum valuation expectation of $2 trillion, at which point the value of Schmidt's stake could increase by as much as $20 billion. Neither Schmidt nor Anthropic immediately responded to requests for comment.

    Anthropic proposes draft AI safety bill that would block model releases when risk of 50+ deaths exists

    Anthropic has pitched a draft AI safety bill to Congress that would allow a model's release to be blocked when it poses a foreseeable, imminent risk that could cause 50 or more deaths or more than $1 billion in property damage. The risk must stem from the manufacture of bioweapons, the model evading its developer's control, or cyberattacks. The draft requires an independent evaluator registered with the U.S. Department of Commerce to determine the risk; the evaluator must report within 72 hours, after which the Commerce Department would apply to a Washington, D.C., judge for an order to halt the release. Federal agencies would not be allowed to decide on blocking a release themselves.

    OpenAI advances roughly $30 billion funding round, aiming to lock in investors ahead of Anthropic's IPO

    According to Reuters, OpenAI is accelerating a roughly $30 billion funding round, targeting a valuation above $1.4 trillion, seeking to lock in investors before Anthropic's expected mid-November IPO; existing investors including SoftBank and Abu Dhabi's MGX are in talks to participate. OpenAI told investors that growth accelerated after the release of GPT-6 Astra, with annualized revenue already at $50 billion and expected to rise to $70 billion by year-end; Anthropic said its third-quarter revenue rose from $11.6 billion to $16.8 billion, but slowing month-over-month growth has raised valuation concerns. The two also differ on revenue recognition: OpenAI recognizes revenue on a net basis and has accused Anthropic of recognizing revenue on a gross basis under third-party cloud vendor contracts.

    Anthropic in talks for a second $45 billion compute deal with Nscale, West Virginia reservation doubles to 920 MW

    Anthropic is in talks with Nscale for a second $45 billion compute agreement that would double its West Virginia reservation to 920 MW, adding another 460 MW building at the Monarch Compute Campus running Nvidia's Vera Rubin chips; Anthropic also holds a right of first refusal on the campus's expected third building. The first contract was signed in August, a six-year 460 MW lease with delivery starting at the end of 2027, averaging about $7.5 billion a year, or roughly $16.3 million per MW. Nscale's IPO filing lists the agreement with Anthropic at a value of up to about $44.6 billion, and the value of the second deal depends on whether the first Monarch building and its Vera Rubin racks can be powered on schedule by the end of 2027.

    OpenAI seeks to raise about $30 billion at a valuation of over $1.4 trillion, aiming to close before Anthropic's IPO

    According to Reuters, OpenAI is seeking to raise about $30 billion at a valuation of more than $1.4 trillion before Anthropic's IPO, a valuation at least 64% higher than the $852 billion it reached in March. The two companies are competing for overlapping long-term funds and sovereign wealth funds, and OpenAI hopes to lock in commitments before Anthropic files its S-1 and goes public in mid-November, to avoid direct comparison. Anthropic's third-quarter revenue grew 45% to $16.8 billion, a slowdown from more than doubling in the second quarter, leading some investors to argue for a valuation of $1.5 trillion rather than $2 trillion.
