Anthropic Valued at $900 Billion as Computing Investment Pushes It Past OpenAI

Anthropic received a valuation of $900 billion, about 1,354 trillion won, after agreeing on May 15, 2026, to raise new investment for expanding computing capacity, Hankyung.com reported. The reported valuation places Anthropic above OpenAI, the developer of ChatGPT. Anthropic had already moved to expand computing resources on May 6 by signing a deal to lease the entire Colossus 1 data center in Memphis, Tennessee, owned by SpaceX. The report shows that large-scale data centers and computing resources are being reflected directly in valuations in the AI model race. Source: hankyung.com.
