Mike Krieger, chief product officer at Anthropic, stated that the newly emerging AI startup DeepSeek has had minimal effect on Anthropic's competitive position or strategy. Rather than merely focusing on individual model performance, Krieger emphasized the importance of collaborating with businesses for sustained success. Anthropic recently raised $3.5 billion at a valuation of $61.5 billion, which will be used to enhance its AI systems and research capabilities. This move follows the launch of DeepSeek's R1 model, which offers competitive pricing that challenges existing market strategies.
Mike Krieger said on an episode of the Twenty Minute VC podcast published Monday that the Chinese AI startup had "almost no impact" on Anthropic's market position or go-to-market strategy.
Krieger emphasized that success for Anthropic isn't just about model performance, but rather about prioritizing long-term partnerships with businesses, building AI collaboration rather than transactional APIs.
