"Amodei was previously a vice president of research focusing on safety at OpenAI before jumping ship to start Anthropic with other ex-employees, like his sister and cofounder Daniela Amodei, who thought OpenAI was not focusing enough on safety. At Anthropic, Amodei has led the effort to build its large language model, Claude, with safety in mind. The company has done this in part through its Constitutional AI approach, which, rather than promote rules, gives Claude values so it can learn to be "a good AI.""
"Anthropic has come a long way in the five years since it was founded, last week announcing a $30 billion fundraise at a $380 billion post-money valuation, solidifying it as one of the most valuable private companies in the world. And yet, the company is, at the same time, managing a high-stakes balancing act between maintaining its mission and simply surviving, Amodei said. "The pressure to survive economically, while also keeping our values is just incredible. We're trying to keep this 10x revenue curve going," he said."
Dario Amodei left OpenAI and cofounded Anthropic with ex-employees to prioritize AI safety. Anthropic built the Claude language model using a Constitutional AI approach that instills values rather than hard rules. The company also adopted a Responsible Scaling Policy pledging not to release models capable of catastrophic harm. Anthropic announced a $30 billion fundraise at a $380 billion post-money valuation, making it one of the most valuable private companies. Leadership reports intense commercial pressure to keep innovating and achieve profitability while maintaining safety practices that they believe exceed competitors'. The company is balancing mission-driven safety work with rapid revenue growth demands.
