Google To Invest Up To $40B In An Unbiased Anthropic
Reports of additional funding from Google come as Anthropic sees demand for Claude Code, the company’s coding agent, and a similar $25 billion commitment from Amazon on April 20.
Anthropic confirmed an investment from Google — $10 billion in cash, with the expectation that another $30 billion could potentially follow if it hits specific performance targets — the company said Friday.
The reports come as Anthropic sees demand for the company’s coding agent, Claude Code, and a similar $25 billion commitment from Amazon on April 20. The initial new investment from Amazon is $5 billion, with possibly another $20 billion in the future. This builds on the $8 billion that Amazon previously invested.
The investment commitment from Google comes the same day it announced an update about eliminating political bias in Claude. The company wants to ensure that people can ask questions and receive honest answers about political parties, candidates and issues during election time, as well as answering simpler questions such as when, where, and how to vote.
Anthropic is working to ensure that Claude can remain a reliable source ahead of the U.S. midterms and other major elections worldwide, even without advertising.
