CENTURION
Anthropic was founded by former OpenAI researchers and is one of the world's most valuable AI labs. Its Claude family of models leads on coding (Claude Code) and long-context tasks. Backed primarily by Amazon and Google, it raised a $30B Series G at a $380B valuation in February 2026, then a $65B Series H at a $965B post-money valuation in May 2026 — among the largest private rounds ever. In July 2026, AMD agreed to invest up to $5B as part of a computing-power partnership under which Anthropic will deploy 2 GW of AMD Instinct MI450 Series GPUs in AMD Helios rack-scale systems, lifting Anthropic to a $1T valuation ahead of a potential IPO.
