Kazakh investors have closed a $1.8M deal on Anthropic

The Kazakh investment company Raison has invested $1.8 million in Anthropic, a prominent player in artificial intelligence. This step underscores Kazakhstan's desire to participate in global technological innovations actively.

Raison's managing partner, Andrey Berezin, shared his thoughts on this deal:

"Artificial intelligence is now not just an innovation in the technological world but has become an integral part of our daily lives. It finds application in various industries — from medicine to education, making services more convenient and processes more efficient. One of the most significant breakthroughs in this area was the Claude3 language model from Anthropic, which in many ways surpassed its competitor from OpenAI, GPT-4. This is our second investment in anthropology. We are pleased that Kazakhstan's investment community members can access first-class deals in artificial intelligence through an understandable, transparent infrastructure."

Earlier, Amazon invested $2.75 billion in the company, increasing its stake to 4 billion. Over the past year, Anthropic has entered into five different financing agreements totaling about $7.3 billion. The number of investors in Anthropic also includes Alphabet (the owner of Google).

Recall that Anthropic is one of the leaders in generative AI: experts consider its Claude3 language model to be a breakthrough compared to competitors. It is distinguished by its multimodality — the ability to understand and process textual and visual data. Expanding the AI model's functionality makes it more flexible in application and opens up new horizons for its use in various fields, from education to medicine.
