During his session, Kaplan will provide an insider’s look at hybrid reasoning models, whichAnthropic has pioneered. These models are designed to deliver rapid responses to straightforward queries while allocating sufficient computational resources for more complex tasks. He will also discuss Anthropic's risk governance framework, aimed at mitigating potential AI risks. Notably, Kaplan assumed the role of Responsible Scaling Officer in October, highlighting his commitment to responsible AI development. Kaplan’s credentials are impressive. Prior to co-founding Anthropic, he spent 15 years as a theoretical physicist at Johns Hopkins University, where his research focused on quantum gravity, field theory, and cosmology. His expertise in scaling laws has been pivotal in advancing the AI industry's understanding of complex systems. At OpenAI, he contributed to the development of GPT-3 and Codex. Now, at Anthropic, he has been instrumental in creating Claude, the company’s suite of AI assistants. Anthropic’s rapid growth reflects significant milestones in recent months. The launch of Claude 3.7 Sonnet in late February marked a critical step forward, hailed as the company's most intelligent model yet. This version integrates hybrid reasoning, allowing it to process simple and complex queries efficiently. Anthropic has also introduced autonomous research capabilities and Google Workspace integration, enhancing Claude's functionality for enterprise users. Additionally, the company is reportedly working on a voice assistant feature for Claude to vie with similar products from competitors. Investors have taken notice of Anthropic’s progress. In March, the company announced a successful fundraising round that valued it at $61.5 billion, a substantial increase from the $16 billion valuation reported about a year ago. At TechCrunch Sessions: AI, Kaplan will share his vision for the future of AI, including its transformative potential for human-computer interaction, work processes, and social dynamics. Beyond theoretical and technical discussions, he will offer practical insights to help teams of all sizes effectively integrate AI and maximize its benefits.
