Twitter gossip (https://twitter.com/MichaelTrazzi/status/1549060676966002688) suggests that there will be another large language models company announced that will have more funding than ever seen by end-of-year.

Berkeley gossip: there's going to be yet another massively-funded (more than what we've ever seen) LLM company doing alignment work before the end of the year

This question will resolve positively if this tweet turns out to be true in a way I (or other commenters on the thread can verify). That is, if a new LLM company is announced that raises more funding than all of Anthropic (https://www.crunchbase.com/funding_round/anthropic-series-b--cbef655b), OpenAI (https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/openai), Cohere (https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/cohere-82b8), or Adept (https://www.crunchbase.com/organization/adept-48e7) have to date ($580M, $1B, $165M, $65M).

Note that if I missed one and someone suggests it in the comments, I reserve the right to add it here as long as the funds were raised prior to the question being created on July 18th, 2022.
