Kaplan was appointed Anthropic’s responsible scaling officer in October, making his session a must-attend for anyone interested in AI.
Get to Know Jared Kaplan
Jared Kaplan has a remarkable background. Before co-founding Anthropic, he spent 15 years as a theoretical physicist at Johns Hopkins University, exploring quantum gravity, field theory, and cosmology. His research on scaling laws has revolutionized how the AI industry understands and predicts the behavior of advanced systems. Kaplan played a role in developing GPT-3 and Codex at OpenAI and helped develop Claude, Anthropic’s family of AI assistants.
Recent Developments at Anthropic
It’s been a wild ride for Kaplan and company. Anthropic’s remarkable growth has been fueled by several major developments in recent months, including the launch of Claude 3.7 Sonnet, which the company described as its "most intelligent model yet." The company has also introduced an autonomous research capability and Google Workspace integration, transforming Claude into a "true virtual collaborator" for enterprise users. Additionally, Anthropic is reportedly developing a voice assistant feature for Claude to compete with similar offerings from other AI companies.
Investment and Valuation
Unsurprisingly, investors have noticed Anthropic’s progress. In March, the company announced that it had completed a new fundraising deal that valued it at $61.5 billion, up from about $16 billion roughly a year earlier. This significant increase in valuation is a testament to Anthropic’s innovative approach to AI and its potential for growth.
