> Can anyone please explain to me why does Google need to buy companies like Anthropic

Because Anthropic is a splinter group from OpenAI, who are Google's #1 rivals. Anthropic was founded by Dario Amodei, who was the VP of Research at OpenAI and previously led the GPT-3 project. They are buying GPT-3 rivals.
