Anthropic Claude AI Models

Anthropic is an American artificial intelligence startup and public-benefit corporation founded by former members of OpenAI. The company specializes in developing large language models and AI safety research, known for its Claude series of AI assistants.

Originally founded in San Francisco, Anthropic focuses on 'Constitutional AI,' a framework designed to ensure AI systems are helpful, honest, and harmless. The brand has grown significantly through strategic partnerships and massive investments from major tech conglomerates.

While Anthropic remains an independent company, it is heavily backed by global technology leaders. Major stakeholders include Amazon and Google, who provide both capital and the cloud computing infrastructure necessary to train and host these advanced models. Despite these deep corporate ties, Anthropic operates with its own governance structure focused on long-term safety.
