Google to invest $750m more in Anthropic, total tops $3b

Court documents reveal Google holds a 14% stake in AI startup Anthropic and plans to invest US$750 million more in 2025.

This brings Google’s total investment in Anthropic to over US$3 billion, though it has no voting rights or board representation.

The investment raises concerns about Anthropic’s independence as regulators examine AI firms’ partnerships with tech giants.

This follows Amazon’s agreement to invest up to US$8 billion in Anthropic, deepening ties between major tech firms and AI startups.
