Google invested $300 million in Anthropic in late 2022, according to a report from the Financial Times. Anthropic was founded by former OpenAI employees and is developing its own chatbot, Claude, a rival to ChatGPT.
The competition between Google and Microsoft over tech’s AI future continues to heat up. While Microsoft is firmly entangled with ChatGPT creator OpenAI, Google may have turned to a company founded by former OpenAI employees: the little-known Anthropic. According to a report from the Financial Times, in late 2022, Google invested around $300 million in the startup, though the news was not reported at the time. In return for the money, Google got a 10 percent stake in the company.
'Anthropic was founded by OpenAI employees unhappy about the company’s trajectory' The back story for Anthropic’s founding is relevant, too. The organization was created in 2021 as a public benefit corporation by Dario Amodei, a former vice president of research at OpenAI. Amodei took with him a number of researchers from OpenAI, including Tom Brown, lead engineer for AI language model GPT-3.
