# Anthropic

## Profile

AI research company; creator of the Claude model family.

## Role in This Source

Crucially named as the **original author of the [[concept-model-context-protocol]]**, which the speaker says was launched as an open-source experiment in late 2024. MCP is the linchpin of the entire [[concept-open-brain-d22]] thesis: without an open standard for connecting models to user-owned data, the architecture cannot exist.

Anthropic also appears throughout the talk as one of the major AI platforms whose own native memory features contribute to the [[concept-memory-silo-problem]] (see [[claim-saas-memory-lock-in]]). The contradiction — that the same lab pushing MCP also ships proprietary Claude memory — is part of the open question raised in [[question-corporate-response-mcp]].

## Verification Note

Enrichment overlay flagged that independent corroboration of the late-2024 MCP launch claim was thin in third-party sources at the time of writing — treat as speaker-attributed.
