Gust MEES's insight:

Summary: Google is investing up to $40 billion in Anthropic ($10B cash now at $350B valuation, $30B conditional on performance targets) plus five gigawatts of compute over five years, bringing its total commitment to ~$43B. The deal arrives as Anthropic’s revenue hit $30B ARR (up from $1B in January 2025) and its secondary market valuation reached $1 trillion, while Google DeepMind has assembled a “strike team” to catch up to Claude in coding. Amazon committed up to $33B in Anthropic days earlier, making both cloud giants simultaneously competing to lock in the same AI company.

Google Discreetly Acquires Edtech Analytics Company BrightBytes | #Acquisitions | 21st Century Innovative Technologies and Developments as also discoveries, curiosity ( insolite)... | Scoop.it

From www.edsurge.com - October 10, 2022 8:00 PM

Gust MEES's insight:

Google has silently acquired a widely-used K-12 data and analytics company.

The tech giant confirmed, in an email to EdSurge, that it's picked up BrightBytes for an undisclosed amount.

The acquisition does not appear to have been publicly announced. And Google declined to provide any details, including when the sale had taken place.

But an email about the deal sent by Google to a school district in early May, obtained by EdSurge, cites May 17th as the expected date of the transaction.

The acquisition will help Google to transform school district data “into actionable intelligence to improve the academic and overall well-being of all students,” the email says.

It also states that Google might have updated the policy and privacy terms of use after the acquisition.
