Anthropic is the lab that made “steerable and safe” a competitive edge rather than a compliance line. Founded in 2021 by a group that left OpenAI, including siblings Dario and Daniela Amodei, it built the Claude family around a simple bet: the models that win inside real businesses are the ones you can trust to follow instructions, hold a long context, and act across many steps without going off the rails.
That bet shows up in the product. Claude is the model teams reach for when the task is agentic, when a coding assistant has to plan and use tools, or when a workflow has to reason over a very long document without losing the thread. The company’s public-benefit structure and Responsible Scaling Policy are not marketing, they are what lets an enterprise buyer clear the model through procurement.
The catalogue below is every Claude model we track, joined live to pricing, context, and benchmark scores. The fingerprint above shows where Anthropic leads across the whole field.
