Anthropic, an American AI startup, has recently announced that the company secured $3.5 billion in a Series E funding round, bringing its post-money valuation to $61.5 billion.

Anthropic, a US-based artificial intelligence (AI) company, has trained its newest model, Claude 3.7 Sonnet, to play a modded version of the 1996 Game Boy classic 'Pokémon Red'. But this isn’t just a nostalgic party trick: the AI’s ability to battle gym leaders and navigate pixelated forests could potentially revolutionise how businesses use AI for real-world tasks like coding and problem-solving.

Amazon has poured another $4 billion into Anthropic, the artificial intelligence startup behind the chatbot Claude. This new funding doubles Amazon’s total investment in the startup to $8 billion. 

The news was first reported by The Information, which added that Peter Deng, a product manager who joined OpenAI last year, has also exited the company.
