Anthropic, a FTX-funded artificial intelligence company and its co-founder Dario Amodei refused the offer of the OpenAI board of directors to merge. The proposal for the merger was made after Sam Altman was fired as CEO. 
Persons familiar with the matter believe that Amodei also received the offer to hold the vacant position of OpenAI founder. A related report states that “ It’s not clear whether the merger proposal led to any serious discussion.”&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 
However the news of the merger proposal was also covered by the international media outlet Reuters. As per the bankruptcy filing of FTX, it invested $500 Million in Anthropic and the firm is yet to sell its stake. 
Other than FTX, the artificial intelligence company raised funding from Zoom Ventures, Seven Rivers Capital and Google including dozens others. Crunchbase data shows that the company has 6 lead investors and 24 investors as a whole.&nbsp;
