It looks like all that’s been published about the timing of the deal is “late 2022”. I’d be curious if that was before or after Nov 11, i.e. when FTX filed for bankruptcy.
If after, then it’s a positive signal about Anthropic’s future. Because it means the company has demonstrated they can raise substantial funding after FTX, and also that Google didn’t read potential FTX clawbacks as a death sentence for Anthropic.
I remember thinking there wasn’t very much coordination between Google Brain and DeepMind; I’m not sure how much both of them being (at least partly) owned by Alphabet will help.
Thanks for posting—good to know.

Also a really positive signal about potential coordination with DeepMind.
