Google is in early discussions to expand its investment in Anthropic, the San Francisco-based AI company behind the Claude language model. The potential new funding round could value Anthropic at more than $350 billion.

The talks are described as preliminary, with details still being negotiated. Possible structures for the investment include a strategic deal involving additional cloud computing services from Google, a convertible note, or a priced funding round expected early next year.
