Anthropic chief Dario Amodei has warned that AI startups lacking moats and merely functioning as AI wrappers could lose out to large language models (LLMs) such as Claude and ChatGPT.

Dario Amodei, the CEO and co-founder of Anthropic, can be credited with the companies meteoric rise and placing itself as a top contender in the AI race.

The Pentagon may decide to officially designate Anthropic as a "supply chain risk" to push them out of government, sources say.

"But we're open to the idea that it could be." The post Anthropic CEO Says Company No Longer Sure Whether Claude Is Conscious appeared first on Futurism.

The CEO said there’s a “certain randomness” to how individuals leading powerful companies end up in their positions.

Under Amodei’s leadership, Anthropic has grown explosively from a modest seed round to a $380 billion valuation in February 2026, with annualised revenue reaching $14 billion.

Anthropic had an early version of its model Claude 1, even before OpenAI launched ChatGPT in 2022, but the company chose not to release it, CEO Dario Amodei has revealed. Claude 1 was launched in March 2023.
