- Anthropic, **Blackstone** and **Hellman & Friedman** each put in **$300 million**; **Goldman Sachs** is also a founding partner.
- Backers include Apollo, General Atlantic, GIC, Leonard Green and Sequoia.

Anthropic described engagements where its engineers sit down with a client's staff, such as clinicians and IT teams at a hospital, to build AI systems together.

## OpenAI's venture
