Anthropic is focusing on building advanced AI models, like Claude, but isn't aiming for mass-market popularity like competitors do. Mike Krieger explains that their priority is creating specific 'vertical experiences' that enable agents, exemplified by Claude Code, which secured 100,000 users in its first week. The company is also moving towards less sanitized models, as demonstrated in Sonnet 3.7, which will respond to prompts more often. Krieger emphasizes the importance of empowering users and understanding AI's potential and limitations, shaping the future of human-AI collaboration.
The critical path isn't through mass-market consumer adoption right now.
I think we have a unique role that we can play in shaping what the future of human-AI interaction looks like.
One of the reasons I joined Anthropic is that I think we have a differentiated take on that.
The company's latest release, Sonnet 3.7, will refuse to answer a prompt 45 percent less often than before.
