About Anthropic

Founded in 2021 by former OpenAI researchers (including siblings Daniela and Dario Amodei), Anthropic was established as a Public Benefit Corporation (PBC) with a singular focus on building safe, steerable, and reliable AI systems. Anthropic pioneered the concept of Constitutional AI—a training method that aligns AI behavior with structured safety principles rather than subjective human feedback.

Backed by major investments from tech giants Amazon (providing AWS compute) and Google, Anthropic has emerged as OpenAI's closest technological rival. Its Claude model family is widely praised by developers for its coding capabilities, nuanced writing style, and large context windows, making it a favorite for enterprise applications.
