Anthropic近期获得35亿美元融资,估值达615亿美元,由Lightspeed Venture Partners领投,众多顶级风投参与其中。这笔资金将用于推进下一代AI系统开发、扩展计算能力、加强对机械解释、可解释性和一致性的研究,以及加速国际扩张。 Anthropic的最新旗舰模型Claude 3.7 Sonnet获得了积极评价,这有助于其完成大规模融资。该模型采用混合模式,在回答问题前会更仔细地考虑用户的问题,简化了用户体验,避免了用户在多个模型之间进行选择。 Anthropic去年营收约10亿美元,2025年至今增长30%,预计全年营收接近13.5亿美元,主要来自API服务和个人订阅。尽管计划今年烧掉约30亿美元,但公司致力于提高盈利能力,并通过开发新的软件工具、订阅层级、桌面客户端和移动应用程序等方式来实现这一目标。 Anthropic进行了高调的招聘,例如聘请了Instagram联合创始人Mike Krieger和OpenAI联合创始人之一Dirk Kingman。公司还加强了与亚马逊的关系,亚马逊是其重要的投资者,并提供AWS资源和定制AI芯片Trainium,双方合作开发了新的Alexa Plus虚拟助手。 Anthropic将自己定位为比OpenAI等公司更注重安全的公司,并拥有强大的用户基础,其模型在UI/UX方面表现出色。
