Anthropic: the $300bn AI firm at war with the White House

We chart the company's meteoric rise to become an AI giant that's now in a high‑stakes clash with Washington over how its technology is used in war.

Anthropic’s rise from startup to one of the world’s leading players in artificial intelligence has been staggering, but so in recent weeks has been its row with the US Government.

Today, we look at that journey to becoming a 380 billion dollar company, ask why Claude has become one of the hottest names in AI, and question whether its fall out with the Pentagon over how its software is used in war could stifle its phenomenal growth.
