Google commits up to $40 billion to Anthropic

Google has agreed to invest as much as $40 billion in Anthropic, the AI safety company behind the Claude models, making it one of the largest venture investments in history. The deal follows Amazon's own major Anthropic investment earlier this week, signaling a full-scale war among tech giants to lock in access to frontier AI. Between the two commitments, Anthropic has now attracted tens of billions in fresh capital in a matter of days.
