help Anthropic FAQ

What AI models has Anthropic created?

Anthropic is best known for the Claude family of large language models, including Claude 3 and Claude 3.5 Sonnet, which compete with OpenAI's GPT models. Claude is designed using Constitutional AI, a training method that uses a set of principles to guide the model's responses toward being helpful, harmless, and honest.

Who founded Anthropic and when?

Anthropic was founded in 2021 by Dario Amodei (CEO) and Daniela Amodei (President), along with several other researchers who previously worked at OpenAI. The founding team left OpenAI in part due to disagreements over the company's direction regarding AI safety and commercialization.

What is Constitutional AI and how does Anthropic use it?

Constitutional AI is Anthropic's training methodology in which the model is given a set of principles—a 'constitution'—to self-evaluate and revise its own outputs for safety and helpfulness. This approach reduces the reliance on extensive human feedback for every problematic response, aiming to scale AI alignment more efficiently.

Who are Anthropic's major investors?

Anthropic has received significant investments from both Google and Amazon, with Amazon committing up to $4 billion in funding. The company has also attracted backing from venture capital firms including Spark Capital and Menlo Ventures.
