According to Odaily, AI startup Anysphere has received investment offers from venture capital firms, valuing the company at approximately $2.5 billion. This valuation marks a significant increase, more than six times higher than a transaction that took place around four months ago. Anysphere is known for developing Cursor, an AI coding assistant partially powered by OpenAI technology.

In related developments, Mercor, a human resources provider for contractors sought by OpenAI and other AI developers, is in discussions with investors to raise at least $100 million. This funding round could value Mercor at up to $2 billion, which is eight times higher than its valuation six months ago.
