NYT Says Anthropic Surpassed OpenAI in Startup Valuation

According to The New York Times, Anthropic was described as the world’s most valuable artificial intelligence startup with a reported $900 billion valuation.

Fact Check
The NYT article 'Anthropic Tops OpenAI to Become World's Most Valuable A.I. Start-Up' (May 28, 2026) directly states Anthropic raised $65 billion at a $900 billion pre-money valuation, surpassing OpenAI's $730 billion valuation. NYT's own Facebook breaking news post reiterates the same. Bloomberg's earlier May 12, 2026 report corroborates the $900B valuation talks. All elements of the claim—NYT attribution, $900B valuation, most valuable AI startup, surpassing OpenAI—are verified.
