Anthropic developed the Claude family of artificial-intelligence assistants.
Anthropic is an American artificial-intelligence company founded in 2021 by former OpenAI employees, including Dario Amodei and Daniela Amodei. Its best-known product is Claude, a family of large language models designed for conversation, analysis, writing, coding, and other text-based tasks.
The company emphasizes AI safety and describes its development approach through concepts including Constitutional AI. This method uses a set of principles to help guide model behavior and reduce reliance on direct human preference labeling alone. Claude models have been offered through Anthropic’s own services and through cloud platforms.
Anthropic is often confused with OpenAI because both companies build general-purpose language models and AI assistants. They are separate organizations. Anthropic has also attracted major strategic investment from technology companies, which has linked its growth to the wider expansion of AI infrastructure and cloud computing.
