- On Wednesday, Bloomberg News reported that artificial intelligence startup Anthropic is weighing a new funding round valuing the company at more than $900 billion, potentially leapfrogging rival OpenAI as the world's most valuable AI startup.

- OpenAI closed a funding round last month valuing the firm at $852 billion, while Anthropic has received multiple preemptive offers to raise around $50 billion at a valuation in the $850 billion to $900 billion range.

- Despite a Pentagon designation labeling the firm a supply chain risk, an order currently under litigation, sources suggest Anthropic is only beginning to explore its potential in industries like finance and healthcare.
