Google has already invested $500 million upfront to Anthropic — a rival to ChatGPT creators OpenAI — and will pay off the remaining $1.5 billion over time, according to an Oct. 27 report by The Wall Street Journal (WSJ), which cited people familiar with the matter.


The mega-deal adds to Google’s $550 million investment into Anthropic earlier in 2023.


Google Cloud also struck a multiyear deal with Anthropic a few months ago worth over $3 billion, The WSJ revealed, citing a person familiar with the matter.

Anthropic is using much of these investments to train its AI systems, such as AI assistant Claude, in hopes that the firm can achieve the next big breakthrough in the AI industry.


On the other side of the fence is OpenAI, which has received over $13 billion in funding from Microsoft alone since 2019 and continues to build more advanced versions of its own AI chatbot, ChatGPT. The popular chatbot amassed over 100 million users within the first two months of launching in November 2022, which caught the attention of many venture capital firms worldwide looking to invest in the space.


The co-founders of Anthropic, siblings Dario and Daniela Amodei, previously worked at OpenAI but left in 2021 following disputes with OpenAI’s CEO Sam Altman over safety implications associated with building AI systems.

Before Google and Amazon, Anthropic was bankrolled mainly by former FTX CEO Sam Bankman-Fried, who invested about $530 million in Anthropic in April 2022 — about seven months before FTX collapsed.


Anthropic’s surge in valuation has been viewed as a positive sign for FTX creditors in the hopes that they will be compensated fully from FTX’s bankruptcy case.As SBF testifies, Google announces it's investing another $2 billion in AI company Anthropic
