How is it misrepresenting? Amazon didn't just give the money with one hand, and take it back with the other. They bought a stake in Anthropic, although no-doubt the bulk of that money will also come back as AWS revenue! Sounds like a double win for Amazon. There should also be a lot of future AWS revenue from inference, not just training.
I'm jealous of these companies that are able to invest in Anthropic, especially at current $18B valuation. FTX just sold 2/3 of their 8% stake in Anthropic at the same valuation, with the bulk of that going to a Saudi wealth fund, and some to Fidelity funds.
In comparison to Anthropic's $18B valuation, latest investment rounds in OpenAI are at $100B.
I'm curious which of these anyone here would prefer to invest in, at these valuations, if they were given a chance ?!
- alumic 3y agoHaving used Anthropic's products fairly extensively over the last few weeks, I would jump at the opportunity to invest in that company. Claude 3 Opus has replaced ChatGPT for all of my use-cases to the extent that I'm probably going to cancel my GPT4 subscription. This is for web-based Python and JS work, so YMMV.
