Anthropic is in early talks with Microsoft to adopt the Maia 200 custom AI chip following Microsoft's $5 billion investment in Anthropic and Anthropic's $30 billion Azure spending commitment. No deal has been signed yet, with discussions ongoing as of May 21, 2026. The move comes amid Anthropic's compute challenges and existing deals with AWS Trainium, Google TPUs, and a $1.25 billion monthly SpaceX Colossus contract through May 2029.
Anthropic expanded restrictions on secondary share purchases on May 18, 2026, jolting investor chatrooms and secondary markets that had priced shares above $900 billion. The company is in active talks to raise $30-50 billion at a valuation north of $900 billion, up from the $380 billion post-money valuation in its February 2026 Series G round led by GIC and Coatue. Secondary traders had marketed Anthropic shares at even higher implied valuations before the policy update. Anthropic eyes a 2026 IPO alongside OpenAI and SpaceX in a slate of trillion-dollar listings.
Anthropic acquired Stainless, a developer tools startup founded by former Stripe engineer Alex Rattray, on May 18, 2026.

Anthropic will wind down all hosted Stainless products including the SDK generator that rivals depend on, while customers retain rights to their previously generated SDKs. Anthropic spokesperson confirmed the acquisition after The Information reported talks valued above $300 million last week.
