Anthropic reportedly views itself as the antidote to OpenAI's "tobacco industry" approach to AI

Anthropic has emerged as a significant competitor to OpenAI, with its founders citing ideological differences over AI safety as a primary reason for their split. Internal conflicts, particularly between Dario Amodei and Greg Brockman, escalated over issues of control and recognition, ultimately leading to the formation of Anthropic in 2021. The rivalry continues to influence the AI landscape, with Anthropic positioning itself as a more ethical alternative to OpenAI's aggressive strategies.
