Claude’s parent company’s $65bn in latest funding round underscores vast sums of money still flowing into industry
Anthropic, the AI firm behind the Claude chatbot, announced on Thursday it had raised $65bn in funding to value the company at $965bn post-money. The move makes Anthropic the world’s most valuable AI startup, eclipsing its competitor OpenAI.
The deal marks an exceedingly successful period of growth for Anthropic, which was once considered to be a smaller player in the global AI arms race. The widespread adoption of its products by large enterprise businesses, especially following its release of powerful coding assistants late last year, has turned it into a dominant player in the industry.

While governments, faith leaders and tech bosses debate the future of AI, one group is consistently left out of the conversation: the public, the very people whose lives the technology is shaping.
Last week, I gave evidence on AI sovereignty to the all-party parliamentary group on AI that aligns with Pope Leo’s position. I argued that AI sovereignty was a series of deeply human and societal questions that exceed technical, material and macroeconomic concerns. I showed that public concern about AI has risen by 10% in two years, and that 91% believe fairness should be prioritised over economic gain. Yet there is no national programme to help the public understand, trust or have a say in AI.

Base MCP enables AI agents like ChatGPT to execute blockchain transactions, marking a step forward in integrating AI with DeFi and onchain wallets.
Coinbase-backed Ethereum layer-2 network Base has unveiled its Model Context Protocol (MCP), a tool allowing AI agents such as ChatGPT and Claude to interact directly with blockchain wallets. Officially launched on May 26, 2026, Base MCP lets users execute onchain actions—including token transfers, swaps, and DeFi protocol interactions—via natural language prompts. The tool connects Base accounts, which are smart wallets, to AI agents through a secure framework. Users can perform blockchain operations by chatting with the AI agent, which then proposes a transaction. A separate wallet interface opens up for users to approve or reject the action, ensuring private keys remain secure. Acco
