Anthropic

Anthropic, an artificial intelligence research company, was founded in 2021 by siblings Dario and Daniela Amodei, along with former OpenAI employees. The company aims to develop safe, reliable, and aligned AI systems that benefit humanity.

Dario Amodei, Anthropic's CEO, previously led the development of GPT-2 and GPT-3 at OpenAI. The Amodei siblings left OpenAI due to differences in vision regarding the company's commercial focus and partnership with Microsoft.

Anthropic has pioneered innovations in AI safety and alignment, such as Constitutional AI, which trains AI systems to adhere to predefined rules and principles. Their flagship product, Claude, is an AI assistant designed to be helpful, harmless, and honest.

Since its founding, Anthropic has raised significant funding from major tech companies and venture capital firms, including a $450 million Series C round in 2023. Amazon and Google have also announced investments and partnerships with Anthropic, totaling up to $6 billion.

As AI systems become increasingly powerful, Anthropic's mission and innovations in constitutional AI and interpretability are poised to play a crucial role in shaping the future of artificial intelligence while prioritizing safety and alignment with human values.
