AI war heats up: OpenAI and Anthropic reportedly woo Wall Street to form joint ventures on the same day

```

OpenAI and Anthropic are respectively forming joint ventures with some of the world’s most influential financial institutions, seizing the initiative in the race to promote broader application of artificial intelligence tools.

According to media reports on Monday, OpenAI has raised more than $4 billion from 19 investors, including TPG, Brookfield Asset Management, Advent, and Bain Capital, to create a company dedicated to helping businesses realize the value of its AI software. OpenAI’s new joint venture partners have over 2,000 portfolio companies and clients, aiming to leverage these relationships to encourage more enterprises to adopt AI technology.

Sources revealed that OpenAI’s new joint venture is named “The Deployment Company.” This round of financing values the company at $10 billion (excluding the raised funds), and OpenAI will hold a majority stake and retain control.

Minutes after this news about OpenAI emerged, its competitor Anthropic immediately announced plans to collaborate with Blackstone Group, Hellman & Friedman, and Goldman Sachs to create a similar company.

The launch of these two initiatives coincides with the rise of the “frontier deployment engineer” position—almost every AI model developer is actively recruiting such talent to explain to businesses how AI software can optimize their operations. The core goal is to drive larger-scale adoption of AI technology—technology that has cost AI companies billions in R&D investment, while companies are still striving for profitability.

For OpenAI and Anthropic, increasing the prevalence of their applications has become an increasingly urgent task, with both companies aiming to complete an IPO as soon as this year.
