Anthropic
A San Francisco AI lab and public benefit corporation that builds the Claude family of large language models.
Anthropic was founded in January 2021 by former OpenAI staff including siblings Dario Amodei (CEO) and Daniela Amodei (president). Its stated mission is to ensure the world safely makes the transition through transformative AI. Its products include the Claude models, the Claude Code coding agent and the Claude.ai and Claude Console apps. Amazon and Google are among its major investors.
By early October 2026 it had raised $65 billion at a reported $965 billion valuation (May 2026) and had confidentially submitted a draft S-1 to the SEC for an IPO (announced 1 June 2026). It also faced copyright suits, including a $1.5 billion authors' settlement over pirated books (September 2025) and cases brought by music publishers, and a dispute with the US Department of Defense over use restrictions. Wikipedia is the source for these funding and legal claims.
