Amazon-backed (AMZN) Anthropic announced Wednesday that it is partnering with Menlo Ventures to launch the Anthology Fund, a $100 million fund focused on artificial intelligence (AI) that could better Anthropic's position in the AI race by supporting startups that could help advance Anthropic's technology.

Anthropic is an AI company and maker of the Claude model, a competitor of Microsoft-backed (MSFT) OpenAI's ChatGPT. While ChatGPT established OpenAI as an early leader of the AI boom, Anthropic claims its latest model offers comparable or better performance than GPT-4o and Alphabet's (GOOGL) Gemini.

Anthropic could stand to gain from the fund's rollout as companies supported by the Anthology Fund will have access to Claude and could expand its use.

"The Anthology Fund aims to partner with innovative founders to build unique AI-first applications and infrastructure solutions that leverage Anthropic’s technology and AI models," Menlo Ventures said in the announcement.

The release noted the Anthology Fund is "not just looking for startups," but is "seeking AI pioneers who harness Anthropic’s cutting-edge technology to redefine what is possible today through AI," potentially helping advance Claude's capabilities and the AI model's adoption rate, which would benefit Anthropic.

The startups that the fund invests in will also receive $25,000 in free credits to harness Anthropics AI models, potentially setting them on the path to becoming paying Anthropic customers.

The fund's launch follows similar moves by rivals like OpenAI, which has its own OpenAI Startup Fund, as AI companies invest in startups that could help expand their tech and influence.

Prologis (PLD) shares gained Wednesday as the world’s largest industrial real estate company posted better-than-expected earnings for the second quarter and raised its outlook because of improving demand.

The real estate investment trust (REIT) reported second-quarter earnings per share (EPS) of 92 cents, with core funds from operations (FFO) at $1.34 per share, beating estimates. Revenue fell 18.1% to $2.01 billion, just short of forecasts.

Prologis Chief Financial Officer Timothy Arndt said that Prologis is “capitalizing on a wide range of growth opportunities, including our data-center and energy businesses."

Co-founder and Chief Executive Officer Hamid Moghadam said that even though customer demand remained subdued, “it is improving, and we expect that trend to continue as the construction pipeline shrinks.”

The company now anticipates full-year net EPS of $3.25 to $3.45, compared with its previous outlook of $3.15 to $3.35. Prologis expects core FFO per share in a range of $5.39 to $5.47, versus the earlier $5.37 to $5.47 forecast.

Despite Wednesday’s advance of 1.4% to $123.21 Wednesday, shares of Prologis remain in negative territory for 2024.

Customers at some Starbucks (SBUX) locations can soon get more than just a caffeine “charge.” They’ll be able to get one for their electric vehicle, too.

The world’s biggest coffee chain is working with Mercedes-Benz to offer EV charging stations at 100 Starbucks locations in the U.S. The first phase will have the German carmaker placing its 400-kilowatt devices in Starbucks stores along Interstate 5 on the West Coast.

Starbucks said it has “nearby access” to charging stations at more than 1,000 locations.

Mercedes-Benz last year said it would join Tesla’s (TSLA) North American Charging System network.

Shares of Starbucks fell 0.5% in Wednesday trading. They're down more than 20% in 2024.
