According to Bloomberg, Anthropic plans to conduct an employee stock buyback at a valuation of $350 billion. Meanwhile, the company is in the process of a funding round that is expected to raise over $20 billion. This buyback offer will allow Anthropic's employees to cash out a portion of their equity in the company.Insiders revealed that the $350 billion valuation is the same as the valuation discussed in the ongoing funding and is a pre-money valuation, meaning it does not include the funds already raised.

According to sources familiar with the matter, OpenAI has held informal talks with several Wall Street banks and has hired key financial experts, including Chief Accounting Officer Ajmere Dale, in preparation for an IPO in the fourth quarter of 2026. The company is concerned that Anthropic, founded by former OpenAI employees and making continuous progress with its Claude model, may go public first after raising over $10 billion in funding.Both companies face challenges such as AI infrastructure development and lawsuits. CEO Sam Altman admitted to mixed feelings: he feels no excitement about becoming the CEO of a public company, but going public does have some benefits for OpenAI itself.

Anthropic announced the release of a new charter for its AI model Claude, which details Anthropic's vision for Claude's values and behaviors.In the new charter, Anthropic upgrades Claude's soul document from a rulebook to a textbook that combines values and reasoning, hoping that Claude can become wiser, safer, and capable of making moral judgments on its own, rather than strictly adhering to rules. This is currently the most detailed publicly available AI personality setting and ethical constitution document.

According to Decrypt, Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei stated at the Davos Forum that superhuman-level general artificial intelligence (AGI) may emerge between 2026 and 2027, potentially leading to the large-scale disappearance of entry-level white-collar jobs. He pointed out that AI development has entered a self-accelerating phase, with programmers in his company mostly responsible for editing code generated by models.At the same time, Google DeepMind CEO Demis Hassabis believes that scientific creativity is still difficult for AI to replicate, estimating a 50% chance of achieving AGI before 2030. Both AI leaders warned that governments around the world are underestimating the impact of AI on the labor market and social structure, emphasizing the urgent need for existing systems to prepare.

According to The Hacker News, Cyata researchers have disclosed three critical security vulnerabilities (CVE-2025-68143/44/45) in the mcp-server-git maintained by Anthropic, which can be exploited for path traversal and parameter injection, potentially leading to remote code execution.These vulnerabilities can be weaponized through prompt injection, allowing attackers to trigger the attack simply by controlling the AI assistant to read malicious content. The vulnerabilities have been patched in the versions released in September and December 2025, and the official has removed the git_init tool and enhanced path validation, recommending users to update to the latest version as soon as possible.

Three security vulnerabilities have been discovered in the official mcp-server-git maintained by Anthropic. These vulnerabilities can be exploited through prompt injection attacks, allowing attackers to trigger the vulnerabilities via malicious README files or compromised web pages without direct access to the victim's system. The vulnerabilities include: CVE-2025-68143 (unrestricted git_init), CVE-2025-68145 (path validation bypass), and CVE-2025-68144 (parameter injection in git_diff).When these vulnerabilities are combined with the file system MCP server, attackers can execute arbitrary code, delete system files, or read arbitrary file contents into the large language model context. Cyata points out that since mcp-server-git does not perform path validation on the repo_path parameter, attackers can create Git repositories in any directory on the system. Additionally, by configuring a cleanup filter in .git/config, attackers can run shell commands without execution permissions. Anthropic assigned CVE identifiers and submitted a patch on December 17, 2025. Users are advised to update mcp-server-git to version 2025.12.18 or higher.

According to Jinshi News, Sequoia Capital plans to make a significant investment in the artificial intelligence startup Anthropic. Anthropic is seeking to raise funds at a valuation of $35 billion, aiming to raise a total of $25 billion or more.Microsoft and Nvidia have committed to investing a total of up to $15 billion in the company.

The Slow Fog team security researcher 23pds forwarded a report from researcher Adam Chester, revealing a privilege escalation and command execution vulnerability found in Anthropic's Claude Code. Attackers can execute commands without user authorization. The vulnerability ID is CVE-2025-64755, and a related PoC has been made public.This issue has been noted to be similar to a previously disclosed vulnerability in the Cursor tool. 23pds stated that phishing hackers have already exploited the related vulnerability to attack cryptocurrency users.

Artificial intelligence startup Anthropic plans to raise $10 billion in a new funding round, which values the company at $350 billion before securing new investments. Sources say that Singapore's sovereign wealth fund GIC and Cotai Management are set to lead this financing.This funding round is expected to be completed in the coming weeks, and the total deal amount may vary. The company raised $13 billion from investors in a funding round last September, when its valuation nearly tripled to $183 billion.

According to a recent report by the Financial Times, the three major private tech giants in the U.S., SpaceX, OpenAI, and Anthropic, are preparing for an IPO in 2026, with expected fundraising amounts reaching hundreds of billions of dollars. OpenAI's valuation could reach $750 billion, SpaceX's secondary market valuation has already reached $800 billion, and Anthropic is also seeking funding with a valuation exceeding $300 billion.If all three go public, it will surpass the total scale of U.S. stock IPOs for the entire year of 2025, and investment banks and venture capitalists may see unprecedented returns.

According to Fortune, the artificial intelligence company Anthropic is in talks for a new round of venture capital, with an expected valuation of $300 billion. Additionally, the company has hired California law firm Wilson Sonsini to advise on its IPO, aiming to go public in 2026.Analysts believe that going public will bring significant funding to Anthropic, enabling it to compete with Sam Altman's OpenAI. Research published by Deutsche Bank analysts Adrian Cox and Stefan Abrudan shows that OpenAI's business has some weaknesses, with consumer subscription growth for ChatGPT slowing down, while Anthropic is more likely to achieve profitability than OpenAI.

According to the Financial Times, the artificial intelligence startup Anthropic has hired the law firm Wilson Sonsini to prepare for one of the largest IPOs in history, which could take place as early as 2026. According to insiders, the company is negotiating a round of private financing that will value it at over $300 billion.Several sources have revealed that the company has also discussed potential IPO plans with several major investment banks. However, these discussions are still in the preliminary and informal stages, and the company has not yet come close to selecting an IPO underwriter. (Jinshi)

According to the cutting-edge red team test results released by Anthropic, AI agents identified multiple smart contract vulnerabilities in a simulated blockchain environment, with a potential exploit amount of up to $4.6 million.The tests covered the complete process of contract analysis, command line tool configuration, network reconstruction, exploit generation, and validation, and introduced a new benchmark for smart contract security assessment. This research was jointly completed by Anthropic, the MATS project, and the Fellows program.

According to a report by Business Insider, Google is in preliminary talks with the artificial intelligence company Anthropic to plan further investment. Sources say that the new round of financing could value Anthropic at over $35 billion. The deal may include strategic investments (with Google providing more cloud computing services to Anthropic), convertible bonds, or a new round of priced financing set to launch early next year.The New York Times reported in March this year, citing legal documents, that Google has invested over $3 billion in Anthropic, holding about 14% of the shares. The latest negotiations come as Anthropic competes with its main rival OpenAI in a multi-trillion dollar race for dominance in generative artificial intelligence models. Meanwhile, the tech giant camp is becoming polarized: Amazon and Google support Anthropic, while Microsoft and NVIDIA have invested billions of dollars in OpenAI.

ChainCatcher news, according to Bloomberg, Anthropic is negotiating with Google, a subsidiary of Alphabet, to sign a "high tens of billions of dollars" cloud computing service agreement to provide computing power for its AI training and inference; the two parties have collaborated before and Google has invested approximately $3 billion in total.The news states that Google rose about 3.5% in after-hours trading.

ChainCatcher news, the artificial intelligence company Anthropic announced that it has recently completed a new round of financing of $13 billion, with its valuation soaring to $183 billion. This financing, which far exceeded expectations, makes it one of the highest-valued startups in the world. The round was led by Iconiq Capital, with participation from Fidelity Management and Research, Lightspeed Venture Partners, Singapore's GIC, Insight Partners, and the Qatar Investment Authority (QIA).According to previous reports, Anthropic's initial goal was to raise $5 billion, which was later increased to $10 billion, ultimately reaching $13 billion. In a statement on Tuesday, Anthropic stated that this investment "confirms Anthropic's unprecedented growth rate and solidifies our leadership position as the preferred intelligent platform for enterprises, developers, and high-end users."
