Location-based hybrid policy: Currently, we expect all staff to be in one of our offices at least 25% of the time. Some roles may require more time in our offices.

How we\'re different

We believe that the highest-impact AI research is big science. At Anthropic we work as a single cohesive team on a few large-scale research efforts and value impact — advancing our long-term goals of steerable, trustworthy AI — rather than focusing on smaller tasks. We are highly collaborative and value clear, effective communication.
