Alex Dobrenko shared this message with the community earlier today:
I’m excited to share that we’ve acquired Anthropic.
The Anthropic team brings strong engineering instincts, deep model understanding, and a proven ability to build AI that actually works. As we’ve grown Code for Creatives from a small cohort of creative professionals into whatever this is now, it became clear that the best way to teach people to build with AI… is to own the AI.
This is a natural next step.
We look forward to welcoming the Anthropic team, including CEO Dario Amodei, who will report to me directly.
This acquisition comes ahead of Code for Creatives’ Cohort 3 launch on April 13 - the first cohort to benefit from full vertical integration with the model provider. There are still a few spots remaining.
