OpenAI-Backed Startup Anysphere Raises $400M In New Funding Round
AI startup Anysphere is raising a new funding round, with a valuation of at least $400 million, backed by A16z.
人工智能初創公司Anysphere正在籌集新的基金輪,估值至少爲4000萬美元,由A16z支持。
What Happened: Anysphere, the creator of an AI code editor named Cursor, is in the process of raising funds. The valuation of this round is a significant jump from the previous one, Business Insider reported on Tuesday.
發生了什麼:Anysphere是一家名爲Cursor的人工智能代碼編輯器的創建者,正在籌集資金。據Business Insider週二報道,這一輪的估值是前一輪的一個重要跳躍。
Founded in 2022, Anysphere's last funding round in July 2023 was led by the OpenAI Startup Fund, with contributions from Sequoia Capital, BoxGroup, ex-GitHub CEO Nat Friedman, and Dropbox co-founder Arash Ferdowsi. The company's total funding to date is $11 million, but the exact amount raised in the 2024 round remains undisclosed.
Anysphere成立於2022年,2023年7月的最後一輪融資由OpenAI Startup Fund領投,Sequoia Capital、BoxGroup、前GitHub CEO Nat Friedman以及Dropbox聯合創始人Arash Ferdowsi等也做出了貢獻。該公司的總融資額至今爲1100萬美元,但2024年的融資金額仍未披露。
Anysphere's first product, Cursor, is an AI-powered integrated development environment designed to enhance engineers' productivity. It autocompletes code, writes code from plain English, and provides answers about the codebase. The product generates revenue through a freemium model, with engineers from companies like Midjourney, Perplexity, Shopify, and OpenAI among its users.
Anysphere的第一個產品Cursor是一個AI驅動的集成開發環境,旨在提高工程師的生產力。它可以自動補全代碼,從普通英語中編寫代碼,並提供有關代碼庫的答案。該產品通過自由和付費的模式獲得收入,中途、Perplexity、Shopify和OpenAI等公司的工程師都是它的用戶。
Why It Matters: OpenAI-backed startups have been making significant strides in the AI sector. For instance, Rain AI, another startup backed by OpenAI co-founder Sam Altman, recently appointed a former Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL) chip executive to lead its hardware engineering division. This move is expected to accelerate the development of innovative semiconductors for artificial intelligence.
爲什麼重要:由OpenAI聯合創始人Sam Altman支持的初創公司一直在人工智能領域取得重大進展。例如,另一家由OpenAI聯合創始人Sam Altman支持的初創公司Rain AI最近任命了一名前蘋果(NASDAQ:AAPL)芯片高管來領導其硬件工程部門。這一舉措有望加速人工智能創新半導體的開發。
Moreover, Dust, a French AI startup co-founded by former OpenAI researcher Stanislas Polu, secured a $16 million investment led by Sequoia Capital. Dust specializes in creating customized AI bots for businesses and plans to expand its operations into the U.S. market.
此外,由前OpenAI研究員Stanislas Polu共同創立的法國人工智能初創公司Dust獲得了一項1600萬美元的投資,由Sequoia Capital領投。Dust專注於爲企業創建定製化的人工智能機器人,並計劃將業務擴展到美國市場。
