OpenAI, a global leader in artificial intelligence, has closed a funding round of $4 billion, aimed at launching a new company specialized in advising businesses on the development and implementation of AI software. Among the investors supporting this ambitious project are TPG, Brookfield Asset Management, Advent, and Bain Capital. The new firm, called The Deployment Company, will have OpenAI as the main shareholder, and according to Bloomberg, its initial valuation is around $10 billion. With this initiative, OpenAI strengthens its commitment to expanding artificial intelligence in the corporate environment, offering consulting and tailored solutions for organizations looking to integrate this technology into their processes. Meanwhile, Anthropic, another significant player in the sector, has announced the creation of a business services company focused on integrating Claude, its advanced AI system, into key business operations. This new entity is being established in collaboration with Blackstone, Hellman & Friedman, and Goldman Sachs, and, according to The Wall Street Journal, it would be valued at $1.5 billion, backed by General Atlantic, Sequoia Capital, and Apollo Global Management. Krishna Rao, CFO of Anthropic, emphasized the strong business demand for Claude, which has exceeded all initial forecasts. The partnership with global system integrators will be essential to bring this technology to large companies. These moves by OpenAI and Anthropic highlight the sector's trend: it is not only about creating advanced AI but also facilitating its adoption in the business fabric. Hiring experts and founding companies dedicated to AI consulting are key steps to accelerate the integration of these solutions and enhance their impact on the economy.
