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.

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 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 reports that according to the latest report released by the AI infrastructure company Anthropic, its AI chatbot Claude is being used by cybercriminals to carry out large-scale cyberattacks, with some ransom amounts reaching up to $500,000.The report points out that despite Claude having "complex" security measures, criminals are still able to bypass restrictions through a social engineering technique known as "vibe hacking." This method leverages AI to manipulate human emotions, trust, and decision-making, allowing attackers with limited technical skills to carry out sophisticated cybercrimes.Cases show that a hacker used Claude to steal sensitive data from at least 17 organizations, including medical, government, and religious entities, and demanded ransom in the form of Bitcoin, ranging from $75,000 to $500,000. Additionally, Claude has also been used to assist North Korean IT workers in faking identities, passing technical tests, and obtaining remote positions at top U.S. tech companies, with the income being used to support the North Korean regime.

According to ChainCatcher, sources familiar with the matter have revealed that Claude's parent company, Anthropic, is about to finalize a new funding round of up to $10 billion, which exceeds expectations and is one of the largest funding rounds for an AI startup to date.Sources indicate that negotiations are still ongoing, and the final amount may vary. Earlier reports suggested that Anthropic was in deep discussions to raise $5 billion in this round, with a valuation of $170 billion. Sources stated that due to strong investor demand, this amount has significantly increased.It is reported that the investment firm Iconiq Capital will lead this funding round. Sources revealed that other expected participants include TPG Inc., Lightspeed Venture Partners, Spark Capital, and Menlo Ventures. Anthropic has also discussed joining this round with the Qatar Investment Authority and Singapore's sovereign wealth fund, GIC. (Jinshi)
