Anthropic is the new AI research outfit from OpenAI's Dario Amodei, and it has $124M to burn – TechCrunch

As AI has grown from a menagerie of research projects to include a handful of titanic, industry-powering models like GPT-3, there is a need for the sector to evolve -- or so thinks Dario Amodei, former VP of research at OpenAI, who struck out on his own to create a new company a few months ago. Anthropic, as it's called, was founded with his sister Daniela and its goal is to create "large-scale AI systems that are steerable, interpretable, and robust." The challenge the siblings Amodei are tackling is simply that these AI models, while incredibly powerful, are not well understood. GPT-3, which they worked on, is an astonishingly versatile language system that can produce extremely convincing text in practically any style, and on any topic. But say you had it generate rhyming couplets with Shakespeare and Pope as examples.
