**[Google in Talks to Increase Investment in Anthropic, Valuation May Exceed $350 Billion]** According to a report by Jinse Finance, Google is in preliminary discussions with artificial intelligence company Anthropic, planning to further increase its investment. Sources familiar with the matter stated that the new round of financing could push Anthropic's valuation beyond $350 billion. The deal may include strategic investments (where Google provides Anthropic with more cloud computing services), convertible bonds, or a new round of pricing-based financing set to launch early next year. The *New York Times* reported in March this year, citing legal documents, that Google has already invested over $3 billion in Anthropic, holding approximately 14% of its shares. The latest negotiations come as Anthropic and its main competitor OpenAI engage in a multi-trillion-dollar competition to dominate the generative AI model space. Meanwhile, the tech giant landscape is becoming increasingly divided: Amazon and Google are backing Anthropic, while Microsoft and Nvidia have invested billions of dollars in OpenAI. *(Jin10)*
