Anthropic is an AI safety and research company founded in 2021 by seven former OpenAI employees. Operating as a Public Benefit Corporation with a valuation of $183 billion and 3,000 employees, the company is dedicated to building reliable, interpretable, and steerable AI systems. Its mission centres on the responsible development of advanced AI for the long-term benefit of humanity, combining cutting-edge research with rigorous commitment to safety and alignment with human values.
The company's primary product is Claude, a family of large language models designed to be safe, accurate, and secure. Claude is built to help users accomplish more through interactions that prioritise reliability and trustworthiness. Anthropic's technical work spans AI safety, interpretability, alignment, and security - domains that distinguish it within the broader AI landscape as particularly focused on systems that users can depend upon.
Anthropic's positioning as a leader in responsible AI development reflects both its technical ambitions and its foundational commitment to building systems that are not merely powerful but fundamentally aligned with human values. The company's structure as a Public Benefit Corporation reinforces this dual commitment to excellence in AI research and accountability in AI deployment.
