# Anthropic

## Profile

An AI research company and creator of the **Claude** models. Focuses on safety and increasingly on vertical, domain-specific integrations (e.g., Claude for Figma design workflows).

## Role in This Source

Used as the strategic foil to [[entity-openai-d6|OpenAI]]. The speaker contrasts Anthropic's apparent **vertical** posture (deep, domain-specific integrations) against OpenAI's **horizontal** [[concept-workplace-os|Workplace OS]] strategy.

See [[question-claude-vertical-vs-horizontal]] for the unresolved strategic question this raises.
