"We've reached a watershed moment in AI-model capabilities are advancing so fast that the window to shape how they're used is now. That's why I'm getting back into builder mode, moving from my role as CPO and joining our Labs team: I want to be hands-on at the frontier, building products that channel AI toward solving the world's hardest problems. I'm excited to pass the baton to Ami as she leads the team in scaling Claude."
"The Anthropic Labs team started in mid-2024 with just two members; now, the company has decided to expand it, with a focus on building "experimental products." Krieger's new title will be simply a member of technical staff reporting to Anthropic president Daniela Amodei, and he'll co-lead the Labs team with Ben Mann, who has been the company's product engineering lead."
"Anthropic's C-suite shake-up comes at a time when competition among AI startups and tech giants has never been more stiff. Tech giants like Apple and Google are trying to shore up defenses against high-flying startups like OpenAI and Anthropic, while companies of all sizes are attempting to differentiate themselves by rebranding their longtime goal of "artificial general intelligence" (AGI). They're also trying to set themselves apart in the AI agent game by constantly one-upping each other with new features designed to corner the market"
Mike Krieger, Instagram co-founder, joined Anthropic two years ago as chief product officer and is transitioning to co-lead an internal incubator called Labs. The Labs team began in mid-2024 with two members and will expand to focus on building experimental products, with plans to double headcount within six months. Krieger's new title is member of technical staff reporting to Anthropic president Daniela Amodei; he will co-lead Labs with Ben Mann. Ami Vora will assume Krieger's product responsibilities and work with CTO Rahul Patil to scale Claude. The move occurs amid intense competition among AI startups and tech giants.
