According to reports, Anthropic, OpenAI's top rival, officially launched a large-scale employee stock selling plan this Monday. Sources said that the expected proceeds from this sale could reach up to $6 billion, specifically targeting current and former employees who have worked at the company for at least one year.
This stock transfer is based on Anthropic's latest valuation of $38 billion. Just at the beginning of this month, the company announced a $3 billion financing round led by Singapore's GIC and Coatue. Within less than a month, its market valuation has once again made a significant leap, fully demonstrating the high expectations of the capital market for the leading teams in large model development.
