Anthropic is one of the big model dragons, Founded in 2021 by OpenAI's VP of Research and leaders of GPT-2 and GPT-3, brother and sister Dario Amodei and Daniela Amodei (VP of Security and Policy) and a number of colleagues (including study leader Sam McCandlish, GPT-3 Lead engineer Tom Brown, research scientist Amanda Askell, software engineer Catherine Olsson, Media Background Policy Director Jack Clark, And technologists such as Tom Henighan, Kamal Ndousse, Benjamin Mann and Nicholas Joseph). At the time, they had different views on the direction of OpenAI, fearing that accepting Microsoft's investment would lead to a more commercial path and distract them from their original focus on advanced AI security.
Anthropic, which describes itself as "an AI security and research company dedicated to building reliable, interpretable, and maneuverable AI systems," has launched a series of compelling research into large-scale alignment and interpretability.
Anthropic recently developed Claude, an intelligent chatbot that competes with OpenAI's ChatGPT, but has yet to be publicly released.
Initial funding of $124 million came from a number of notable tech entrepreneurs: Skype co-founder Jaan Tallinn, Facebook co-founder Dustin Moskovitz, and former Google CEO Eric Schmidt.
It raised $580 million in Series B funding and, embarrassingly, was led by Sam Bankman-Fried's cryptocurrency hedge fund Alameda Research, which invested $500 million at a $4 billion valuation before filing for bankruptcy last year.
Anthropic is therefore valued at $3 billion, not the $5 billion that the New York Times previously suggested and less than the $4 billion that Anthropic raised in Series B.
