AnthropicS
AI Organization
Founded in 2021 by former OpenAI researchers, Anthropic built Claude — a family of LLMs distinguished by emphasis on safety, interpretability, and helpfulness. The company pioneered Constitutional AI, a technique for aligning models using AI-generated feedback. Their research on mechanistic interpretability is among the most rigorous anywhere. Claude models are widely used in enterprise and developer applications.
