The joint ventures OpenAI and Anthropic separately created with private equity firms are in talks to acquire services companies that help businesses deploy artificial intelligence, with OpenAI's new venture in advanced stages on three deals, people familiar with the matter told Reuters. The acquisitions would mark a new front in the competition for AI market share between the companies. OpenAI is raising roughly $4 billion from 19 investors, including TPG, Bain Capital and Brookfield Asset Management, for its joint venture, Reuters previously reported.
