Anthropic, an artificial intelligence startup positioning itself as the builder of a safer kind of chatbot, said it raised $450 million in funding to bolster the development of its AI bot, named Claude. The deal brings the company’s total raised to more than $1 billion.
Claude, like OpenAI’s ChatGPT, is built atop a large language model and can be used for written tasks like summarizing, searching, answering questions and coding. Yet while ChatGPT has faced criticism — and been tweaked — after offering users some concerning results, Anthropic aims to make its chatbot more cautious from the start.
