Anthropic introduces early access to its AI assistant 'Claude' after securing a significant investment from Google, positioning itself as a competitor to OpenAI in the AI technology space.
Samenvatting
Anthropic, an AI safety and research lab based in San Francisco, has launched a waitlist for early access to its AI assistant 'Claude' following a $300 million investment from Google. This investment gives Google a 10% stake in Anthropic, potentially valuing the company at around $5 billion. The collaboration between Anthropic and Google was hinted at when Anthropic selected Google Cloud as its preferred cloud provider. Founded by former OpenAI members in 2021, Anthropic recently raised $580 million in Series B funding led by Sam Bankman-Fried. 'Claude' is positioned as a strong competitor to OpenAI's ChatGPT, offering a large language model assistant. Anthropic focuses on developing safe AI systems using "constitutional AI" and aims to responsibly scale AI technology by reverse engineering small language models and understanding pattern-matching behavior in larger models.
