Anthropic Raises $450 Million in Series C Funding to Scale Reliable AI Products

"The funding will support our continued work developing helpful, harmless, and honest AI systems—including Claude, an AI assistant that can perform a wide variety of conversational and text processing tasks.

Anthropic was founded to build AI products that people can rely on and generate research about the opportunities and risks of AI. Our CEO, Dario Amodei, says, “We are thrilled that these leading investors and technology companies are supporting Anthropic’s mission: AI research and products that put safety at the frontier. The systems we are building are being designed to provide reliable AI services that can positively impact businesses and consumers now and in the future.”

With our Series C funding, we hope to grow our product offerings, support businesses that will responsibly deploy Claude in the market, and further AI safety research. Our team is focused on AI alignment techniques that allow AI systems to better handle adversarial conversations, follow precise instructions, and generally be more transparent about their behaviors and limitations. We are also building new features like 100K context windows, which lets you submit hundreds of pages of materials for Claude to digest and analyze. We look forward to announcing more improvements to our API and chat products." Anthropic wrote in the announcement
