AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information.

Anthropic is on the cusp of closing a new funding round that could exceed $30 billion and lift its valuation above $900 billion, with Sequoia Capital, Dragoneer Investment Group, Altimeter Capital, Greenoaks Capital Partners and existing backers such as Peter Thiel’s Founders Fund collectively contributing roughly $2 billion; the company projects almost $11 billion in revenue for the second quarter and an annualized run‑rate of more than $50 billion by June. In parallel, Anthropic is nearing a $1.5 billion joint venture with major Wall Street firms—including Blackstone, Goldman Sachs and Hellman & Friedman—each committing around $300 million (Goldman Sachs about $150 million) to embed its large‑language‑model AI tools into private‑equity‑backed companies, signaling a broader shift toward financial institutions taking direct ownership stakes in AI systems tailored for enterprise use and intensifying competition with rivals such as OpenAI.

Home - CBSNews.com | AI is driving more job cuts and weighing on hiring, economists say

AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information.

AI‑related layoffs are climbing, with nearly 50,000 jobs cut this year—about 17 % of all announced cuts—after firms such as Intuit, Meta and Cisco trimmed staff to pivot toward AI. Experts, however, say the bigger story is not mass dismissals but a slowdown in hiring, especially for junior and entry‑level positions, which has already shaved roughly 16,000 jobs from monthly payroll growth and nudged the unemployment rate up. Analysts warn AI could eventually affect up to 15 % of U.S. jobs, yet most current cuts are framed as strategic moves to invest in technology rather than direct replacements of workers. Consequently, younger workers face heightened risk as their roles are easier to automate, while those who combine AI proficiency with adaptability and uniquely human skills are likely to be best positioned for the evolving labor market.

qwant news | New Anthropic, Blackstone-backed AI services firm acquires Fractional AI - SiliconANGLE

AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information.

A newly formed artificial‑intelligence‑native enterprise services firm—backed by Anthropic, Blackstone, Hellman & Friedman, Goldman Sachs and other investors with a combined $1.5 billion commitment—has acquired Fractional AI, a San‑Francisco‑based applied‑AI services company founded in 2024 by Chris Taylor, Eddie Siegel and Travis May. The acquisition gives the still‑unnamed venture an experienced delivery team ready to embed generative‑AI models such as Claude into mid‑market businesses’ core operations, moving beyond traditional consulting by sending engineers to rebuild client systems around frontier models. The firm plans to initially serve Blackstone’s portfolio companies across healthcare, manufacturing, financial services, retail and real‑estate before expanding more broadly, and the deal comes as Anthropic deepens its enterprise reach through new alliances with KPMG, PwC and Deloitte.

Times of India | Jamie Dimon, CEO of America's largest bank, in China: To reduce our jobs down the road, we will hire fewer ...

AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information.

JP Morgan CEO Jamie Dimon told Bloomberg at the bank’s China Summit that artificial intelligence will likely cut the number of traditional banking roles in the future, as the firm plans to hire more AI specialists while reducing headcount in certain categories of bankers. He said the shift can be managed through normal employee turnover—JPMorgan’s annual attrition of about 10%, or roughly 25‑30 000 staff—allowing retraining, role changes or early‑retirement options rather than large‑scale layoffs. Dimon’s comments echo a wider banking debate, with peers such as Standard Chartered, Goldman Sachs and HSBC also noting that AI will replace “lower‑value” human capital, eliminate some back‑office jobs and create new, technology‑focused positions, while emphasizing the need to pace the transition responsibly.

US Top News and Analysis | What Goldman’s lead role in SpaceX’s record-breaking IPO means for investors

AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information.

Goldman Sachs landed the coveted “lead left” position on SpaceX’s historic IPO, positioning the bank to manage share allocation, pricing and valuation while earning a sizable portion of the underwriting fees. The space‑flight company’s offering—expected to be the largest ever, valued at about $1.25 trillion—could generate more than $500 million in fees, comparable to the $535 million Goldman reported in equity underwriting last quarter. The deal follows a surge in Goldman’s investment‑banking revenue, which rose 48 % to $2.84 billion, and signals the firm’s readiness to lead other mega‑IPOs, such as those anticipated from AI firms OpenAI and Anthropic. Analysts note that success with SpaceX would boost Goldman’s reputation and give it an edge over rivals like Morgan Stanley, Bank of America, Citigroup and JPMorgan in competing for future high‑profile offerings.

US Top News and Analysis | SpaceX live updates: IPO filing sets stage for record offering

AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information.

SpaceX has officially filed for an IPO, targeting a Nasdaq debut under the ticker SPCX, with Goldman Sachs leading the prospectus and Morgan Stanley, Bank of America, Citigroup and JPMorgan also on the deal; the filing values the company at roughly $1.25 trillion after its February merger with Elon Musk’s AI startup xAI, making it one of the largest public offerings ever. Musk retains about 85 % of voting power through 849.5 million Class A and 5.57 billion Class B shares, and no other shareholder holds more than 5 %. The offering is expected to be the first of potentially three mega‑offerings this year, with OpenAI and Anthropic also eyeing public markets. Founded in 2002 to develop reusable rockets, SpaceX now operates the Starlink satellite‑internet service and an AI unit that recently acquired Cursor for $60 billion and rents its compute capacity to Anthropic, with a roadshow slated to begin in early June.

OpenAI, the creator of ChatGPT, is planning to go public, with a confidential draft filing expected as early as Friday and a target IPO date in September, according to The Wall Street Journal, which reports the company has hired Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley to lead the process.

With the dispute resolved, the company appears ready to pursue its public‑market ambitions.
