Descriptions:
Daniela Amodei, President of Anthropic and co-founder alongside her brother CEO Dario Amodei, joins Bloomberg Technology in San Francisco just days after the company filed confidentially for an IPO. The conversation covers Anthropic’s position at a moment when the company is projecting $47 billion in annualized run rate revenue and has reportedly surpassed OpenAI’s private market valuation for the first time.
Amodei describes the leadership dynamic between her and Dario—she runs day-to-day operations and the executive team while Dario focuses on technical vision and scale—and pushes back on framing Anthropic as definitively ahead in the AI race, emphasizing that the company’s focus remains on responsible development and serving existing customers rather than chasing competitive metrics. On internal adoption, she notes that Claude is used heavily across Anthropic itself: finance teams rely on it for planning and analysis, and the HR team built a Claude-powered performance review tool that employees have responded to enthusiastically.
The interview is particularly revealing on compute strategy. Amodei explains Anthropic’s “cone of uncertainty” approach: deliberately avoiding over-commitment to infrastructure spending at a time when future compute needs are hard to predict, even as OpenAI made larger upfront bets. Anthropic recently leased compute from xAI as part of its strategy. The episode offers a candid view from Anthropic’s operational leadership on how the company is navigating the transition from safety-focused research startup to large-scale commercial enterprise ahead of a major public market debut.
