"ChatGPT owner OpenAI has a workforce double the size of Anthropic, while Microsoft Corp. and Alphabet Inc.'s Google have 228,000 and 183,000 staff respectively, and boast enormous capital positions and distribution networks. Yet Anthropic's AI tools for generating computer code and operating computers go beyond anything these larger companies have managed to launch. OpenAI and Microsoft have struggled to ship products with as much impact recently."
"Anthropic's ruthless efficiency comes in part from a paradoxical source: a mission-obsessed culture. It was founded by former staff at OpenAI who believed that company was too blasé about safety, specifically toward the existential risk that AI posed for humankind. The issue morphed into a kind of ideology at Anthropic, with Chief Executive Officer Dario Amodei its high priest and visionary."
A $300 billion selloff in software and financial services stocks was apparently sparked by Anthropic PBC and a new legal product. Anthropic reports roughly 2,000 employees and launched more than 30 products and features in January. The company released Claude Opus 4.6 to handle knowledge-work tasks and pressure legacy SaaS firms like Salesforce and ServiceNow. Anthropic's AI tools generate computer code and operate computers at a level that outpaces larger rivals. The company’s mission-obsessed culture grew from former OpenAI staff focused on AI safety, led by CEO Dario Amodei, who emphasizes trustworthy, human-aligned systems.
