Anthropic’s co-founder and Chief Science Officer, Jared Kaplan, is set to take the stage at TechCrunch Sessions: AI on June 5 at UC Berkeley’s Zellerbach Hall. Kaplan will delve into the intricacies of hybrid reasoning models and discuss Anthropic’s risk-governance framework designed to mitigate potential AI risks.
Kaplan’s Journey in AI
Before co-founding Anthropic, Kaplan spent 15 years as a theoretical physicist at Johns Hopkins University, focusing on quantum gravity, field theory, and cosmology. His research on scaling laws has significantly influenced the AI industry’s understanding and prediction of advanced system behaviors. At OpenAI, Kaplan contributed to the development of GPT-3 and Codex. At Anthropic, he played a pivotal role in creating Claude, the company’s family of AI assistants.
Anthropic’s Recent Milestones
In late February, Anthropic launched Claude 3.7 Sonnet, described as its most intelligent model yet and the first hybrid reasoning model capable of handling both simple and complex queries with appropriate processing times. The company also introduced an autonomous research capability and Google Workspace integration, transforming Claude into a true virtual collaborator for enterprise users. Reports suggest that Anthropic is developing a voice assistant feature for Claude to compete with similar offerings from other AI companies.
