We’re committing a portion of Anthropic’s shares to the Anthropic Public Benefit Fund, a new wholly owned entity dedicated entirely to the public benefit.
It will start off with 5% of our shares. For every 50% increase in the company’s value over a set baseline, we can contribute up to an extra 2%, subject to our board’s discretion.
In total, this means that roughly 20% of Anthropic’s shares are committed to the public good. Our co-founders have already pledged to donate 80% of their equity, and around half our employees are donating a portion of their equity as part of a donation matching program we’ve run since our founding.
In the post below, we share more details about our new fund.

Anthropic is locking 5% of its shares into a new Public Benefit Fund — with a path to ~20% as the company grows.
Co-founders already pledged 80% of their equity. Rare move for a frontier lab.

We placed the fruit fly brain inside Odyssey-3, a frontier world model.
The lil’ guy is now flying around totally imagined, simulated worlds all by itself 🫶
Odyssey put a simulated fruit fly brain inside Odyssey-3, its AI world model.
The fly sees AI-generated scenes and steers itself through worlds that never existed. Nobody animates it.
World models are becoming training grounds for any agent, even a fly's brain.

@LDT0545 I was originally a US$200 Codex and a US$20 Claude Code user, and I really liked Codex. But starting from this month until a few days ago, I couldn't stand Codex anymore. I gave the US$100 of Codex to Claude Code. 😓
