Anthropic Claude

Claude is a sophisticated large language model (LLM) developed by Anthropic, an AI safety and research company. Founded in 2021 by former leaders from OpenAI, including siblings Dario and Daniela Amodei, the brand was established with a core focus on 'Constitutional AI'—a method for training AI systems to be helpful, harmless, and honest through a set of predefined principles.

While Anthropic is an American company headquartered in San Francisco, its manufacturing 'infrastructure' relies on global cloud computing resources, primarily leveraging partnerships with major technology providers like Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Google Cloud. These partnerships involve multi-billion dollar investments, positioning Anthropic as a key competitor in the generative AI space.

Anthropic remains an independent company, though it is structured as a Public Benefit Corporation (PBC). This legal status allows the organization to balance the interests of its shareholders with its mission to create safe and reliable AI. As of 2025, it continues to be backed by a diverse group of investors, including tech giants and venture capital firms, while maintaining its own corporate governance and headquarters in the United States.
