Anthropic Claude

Anthropic is an American artificial intelligence startup and public-benefit corporation, founded in 2021 by former executives from OpenAI. The brand is best known for its 'Claude' family of large language models, which are built with a focus on 'Constitutional AI'—a framework designed to ensure AI systems are helpful, honest, and harmless through a set of self-governing principles.

While Anthropic remains an independent company, it has received multi-billion dollar strategic investments from major tech conglomerates, most notably Amazon and Google. The brand's development and research are primarily based in San Francisco, California. As a public-benefit corporation, Anthropic aims to balance shareholder interests with the broader goal of creating safe and socially beneficial AI technology.
