Anthropic

Anthropic is an AI safety and research company dedicated to ensuring that increasingly powerful AI systems are built responsibly, and that humanity can safely navigate the transition to transformative AI. Founded in 2021 by a group of former OpenAI researchers, including siblings Dario and Daniela Amodei, Anthropic positions itself as an AI lab built around safety research first, with commercial products as a way to fund and pressure-test that research in the real world.

Anthropic is the company behind the Claude family of AI models — the assistant used by millions of individuals and businesses for writing, coding, research, and analysis.

Mission & Focus

Anthropic's stated mission is to ensure the world safely makes the transition through transformative AI. In practice, that shows up as:

• Constitutional AI: Training models on a written set of principles that guide their behavior, rather than relying solely on human feedback after the fact.
• Interpretability research: Investigating how large language models actually work internally, not just how they behave from the outside.
• Responsible scaling: Publicly committing to safety practices and risk thresholds that scale alongside model capability, rather than treating safety as an afterthought.

What We Build

• Claude: Anthropic's family of AI models and the assistant built on top of them, available via claude.ai, mobile and desktop apps, and browser/office integrations.
• Claude Code: An agentic coding tool for developers, built directly on Claude's reasoning and coding capabilities.
• Claude API & Claude Platform: Direct model access for developers and businesses building their own applications on top of Claude.
