Anthropic is a leading AI safety and research company dedicated to building reliable, interpretable, and steerable AI systems. Known for its "Claude" family of models, the company has pioneered "Constitutional AI," a method that allows AI to follow a set of principles to align its behavior with human values. By focusing on the underlying safety architecture of large-scale models, Anthropic has positioned itself as a critical player in the race to develop frontier artificial intelligence that is both powerful and socially responsible.

Anthropic has reportedly closed its latest funding round in the range of $10 to $20 billion, exceeding its initial $10 billion target, valuing the company at $350 billion. The funding was led by Coatue Management and Singapore's sovereign wealth fund GIC, with significant participation from Sequoia Capital.

Anthropic, headquartered in San Francisco, California, United States, was founded in 2021 by Dario Amodei, Daniela Amodei, Jack Clark, Jared Kaplan, Sam McCandlish, and Tom Brown. In 2023, the company joined the unicorn club. This significant capital infusion secures the necessary resources for Anthropic to maintain its competitive standing at the highest echelons of the generative AI market.
