Venture funding talks for artificial intelligence startup Anthropic have ignited hope for creditors of bankrupt crypto exchange FTX while Sam Bankman-Fried’s criminal trial kicks off.

Anthropic is in early talks to raise $2 billion just days after making an agreement with Amazon.com Inc. in which the online conglomerate agreed to invest up to $4 billion. Tech news site The Information earlier reported the funding discussions, and said that a deal could value the company at as much as $30 billion.
