Anthropic launches: $124M for an AI safety lab
In one sentence Anthropic, an AI safety and research company led by Dario Amodei (CEO) and Daniela Amodei (President), announces a $124 million Series A led by Jaan Tallinn, to build more reliable, interpretable and steerable AI systems.
Reading level
A group of researchers, mostly from OpenAI, led by siblings Dario and Daniela Amodei, goes public with a new company: Anthropic.
There are seven cofounders: besides the two Amodeis, Tom Brown, Chris Olah, Sam McCandlish, Jack Clark and Jared Kaplan.
The message is clear: they want to build AI that is more reliable, interpretable and steerable, not just bigger. It's the lab that less than two years later will launch Claude.
