Anthropic has closed its latest funding round above the initial $10 billion target at a $350 billion valuation, CNBC confirmed on Tuesday.

The round closed at a total between $10 billion and $15 billion, according to three sources familiar with the discussions who asked not to be named because the details are confidential. But that figure could still grow if Microsoft and Nvidia decide to contribute, the people said.

In November, Microsoft and Nvidia announced plans to invest up to $5 billion and up to $10 billion into the artificial intelligence startup, respectively. It’s not clear if they plan to participate in Anthropic’s latest round, or how much they might commit, the people said.

Coatue and Singapore sovereign wealth fund GIC are leading the financing, as CNBC previously reported. Sequoia Capital, which is an investor in Anthropic’s rival OpenAI, is also participating, according to the people.

The Financial Times was first to report Anthropic’s oversubscribed funding round.

Anthropic was founded in 2021 by former OpenAI research executives, including its CEO, Dario Amodei. The company is best known for developing a family of large language models called Claude, and its AI coding tool Claude Code has exploded in popularity in recent months.

 Amodei told CNBC earlier this month that Anthropic generated close to $10 billion in revenue last year.
