Anthropic has onboarded the team from Humanloop, a firm specialising in tools for enterprises to run AI safely and reliably. This strategic move sees Humanloop's expertise in AI tooling and evaluation transfer to Anthropic, enhancing Anthropic's focus on AI safety and the development of practical AI systems.
The team joining Anthropic includes Humanloop's co-founders: CEO Raza Habib, CTO Peter Hayes, and CPO Jordan Burgess, along with engineers and researchers. Humanloop, established in 2020, created an enterprise AI platform that enabled clients to assess and incorporate large language models. Their platform is set to shut down as the team transitions to Anthropic.
This acquisition highlights the increasing competition for AI talent, with major tech companies looking to bolster their expertise in the field. The integration of the Humanloop team is expected to significantly contribute to Anthropic's ongoing work in AI safety and the creation of useful AI systems.
