# Anthropic

## Profile

The AI research company behind the Claude family of models.

## Strategic Context (per the speaker)

- Currently raising funds at a **$60B valuation**.
- Targeting an **IPO**.
- This drives a strategy to release **enterprise-focused, high-margin tools**.

- [[entity-claude-design|Claude Design]] — vertical design tool.
- [[entity-mythos|Mythos]] — unreleased high-capability model restricted to government and select enterprise.

## Strategic Choices Highlighted in This Source

- Removed user controls (temperature, top_p) — see [[claim-parameter-removal]].
- Introduced [[concept-adaptive-thinking|Adaptive Thinking]] to manage compute supply.
- Deployed a new tokenizer that acts as a [[concept-tokenizer-tax|stealth price hike]].
- Pushed into vertical professional tools via [[entity-claude-design|Claude Design]] and [[concept-skill-file-format|.skill files]].

## External Validation
