Anthropic raises $124M Series A to build reliable, steerable AI systems
Anthropic announced a $124 million Series A round in May 2021, led by Jaan Tallinn with participation from Dustin Moskovitz, Eric Schmidt, and others. The company, founded by Dario and Daniela Amodei, plans to use the funding for computationally-intensive research into large-scale AI systems that are steerable, interpretable, and robust. The round represents Anthropic's founding-era capital raise, establishing its research agenda around AI safety, interpretability, and human feedback integration.
Anthropic raises $580M Series B to advance AI safety and interpretability research (2022)
Anthropic raised $580 million in a Series B round in April 2022, led by Sam Bankman-Fried of FTX, to fund large-scale infrastructure for AI safety research. The company, then ~40 people, outlined work on interpretability, steerability, and robustness of large language models. The round is historically notable both for Anthropic's early safety-focused mission and for the involvement of Sam Bankman-Fried, who was later convicted of fraud in the FTX collapse.
