Concern is growing inside Google that it is falling behind Anthropic in the race for AI coding tools, Bloomberg News reported on April 21, citing current and former employees familiar with internal matters. Google is working to unify coding initiatives, but Gemini coding capabilities are spread across more than six products under different brands, raising concerns about consistency. Some Google engineers prefer Anthropic\'s Claude Code, sources said.

AI coding startup Cursor is in talks to raise more than $2 billion in new funding at a $50 billion valuation, Bloomberg News reported, citing four people familiar with the matter. Existing investors Thrive and Andreessen Horowitz are expected to lead the round. Battery Ventures may participate, and Nvidia is also expected to invest. Bloomberg said the round is already oversubscribed, but final terms are not set.
