Artificial intelligence company Anthropic on Monday said it's raised $3.5 billion, led by Lightspeed Venture Partners, at a $61.5 billion valuation.

Why it matters: The numbers are staggering, even if the deal has been rumored for months.

It also reflects how DeepSeek's arrival isn't slowing down investment in foundational model companies, including Anthropic rival OpenAI.

Zoom in: In addition to Lightspeed, investors in the round include Cisco Investments, Fidelity, D1 Capital Partners, General Catalyst, Menlo Ventures, Jane Street, and Salesforce Ventures.

Anthropic now has raised more than $17 billion.
