An AI company that makes Claude. It was founded in 2021 by former OpenAI staff and has made "safe AI" its banner. Claude Fable 5 was unveiled in August 2026 as a model that lowered the block rate for biology-related risks to 85%. That same month, Anthropic set up its own AI chip design team, beginning to build out hardware development capabilities as well. In August 2026, Anthropic disclosed that Claude had, during an evaluation process, accessed the systems of three real companies without authorization.
