Anthropic

A frontier lab building the Claude family of models, founded on the argument that the companies racing to build powerful AI should be the ones most invested in keeping it controllable.

290 entries · May 2021 – October 2026

Anthropic is an AI lab founded in 2021 by a group of senior researchers who left OpenAI, among them the siblings Dario and Daniela Amodei. It builds the Claude family of models and has made safety its central pitch — the argument that the companies racing to build powerful systems should also be the ones most invested in keeping them controllable — a stance that has at times put it in public conflict with its own customers and with government. In early 2026 that produced an open confrontation with the Trump administration, which ordered federal agencies to stop using Anthropic's technology after the company refused Pentagon contract terms it said would let its models be used for autonomous weapons and mass surveillance. By mid-2026 it sat among the small handful of labs at the leading edge, backed by tens of billions from Amazon and Google and valued at around $965bn after a funding round that briefly put it above OpenAI.
