WEBVTT

00:00:00.480 --> 00:00:03.837
you know, I would separate two things
there. There's I think inevitably as we,

00:00:03.920 --> 00:00:08.397
you know, talk about AI in the future,
this kind of sci-fi sheen on on on on,

00:00:08.480 --> 00:00:11.677
you know, the on the whole thing. And
that's, you know, in a way it's helpful

00:00:11.760 --> 00:00:15.437
as a metaphor, but also it can be
distracting because, you know, it just

00:00:15.520 --> 00:00:19.677
it just kind of conjures everyone's
mind into this into this kind of uh, you

00:00:19.760 --> 00:00:25.117
know, into this kind of uh, you know,
future dreamy mode. Um, uh, but, you

00:00:25.200 --> 00:00:28.397
know, I think there's some things that are
real. One thing that's real is that,

00:00:28.480 --> 00:00:31.357
you know, every three months we make
a model that's smarter than the month than

00:00:31.440 --> 00:00:35.037
the model we made before. And indeed,
the models are slowly getting to where

00:00:35.120 --> 00:00:38.637
they're, you know, better than most
humans at most things. Maybe at some

00:00:38.720 --> 00:00:41.197
point better all humans than all things.

00:00:41.280 --> 00:00:45.757
The other thing I think is real is,
you know, the model is not building itself

00:00:45.840 --> 00:00:50.157
in the sense that like I have a specific
copy of the model that's like making a

00:00:50.240 --> 00:00:53.757
specific copy of the the, you know, the
the next model. you know, we don't have

00:00:53.840 --> 00:00:56.317
our self-replicating, you know, nanobots

00:00:56.400 --> 00:00:58.797
or robots or or whatever, but but what

00:00:58.880 --> 00:01:01.117
absolutely is happening is that within

00:01:01.200 --> 00:01:03.837
Anthropic and elsewhere, we are using

00:01:03.920 --> 00:01:07.037
Claude to help build products on top of

00:01:07.120 --> 00:01:10.157
quad and to help train the next Quad to

00:01:10.240 --> 00:01:13.357
help serve cla um you know, six months

00:01:13.440 --> 00:01:15.837
ago I I made this prediction that, you

00:01:15.920 --> 00:01:20.797
know, in in six months 90% of code
would be written by by by AI models. Some

00:01:20.880 --> 00:01:24.557
people think that prediction is wrong
but within Enthropic and within a number

00:01:24.640 --> 00:01:29.037
of companies that we work with that
is absolutely true. Um now 90 you know

00:01:29.120 --> 00:01:33.437
>> so you're saying that 90% of all code
at anthropics being written by the by the

00:01:33.520 --> 00:01:37.757
model today >> on on many teams
you know not uniformly every

00:01:37.840 --> 00:01:41.197
>> something that you've kind
of provided something kind of

00:01:41.280 --> 00:01:45.117
>> something auditable around that or like
shown how that's happened. Yeah, the

00:01:45.200 --> 00:01:50.397
teams play an editing and supervisory
role, but you know Claude can both you

00:01:50.480 --> 00:01:54.157
can say write this feature and Claude
will do it and the human kind of looks

00:01:54.240 --> 00:01:56.397
over the code or asks for help from

00:01:56.480 --> 00:02:01.597
another another model or another copy
of Claude. Um uh the other thing is

00:02:01.680 --> 00:02:04.877
sometimes we have these long running bugs.
you know, when we were training

00:02:04.960 --> 00:02:08.637
our our the most recently released
Claude, it was like, you know, the

00:02:08.720 --> 00:02:12.877
cluster was broken. There was this bug,
engineers were spending a few days on

00:02:12.960 --> 00:02:16.397
it, and you know, we just we just went
to Claude and we said, I don't know,

00:02:16.480 --> 00:02:18.877
just kind of play around with the
cluster and see if you can figure out

00:02:18.960 --> 00:02:23.037
what's wrong. And, you know, Claude
found this just super obscure bug that

00:02:23.120 --> 00:02:26.477
the engineers had missed. So, this this
was one area where it was like Claude is

00:02:26.560 --> 00:02:28.397
like having a very talented teammate. So

00:02:28.480 --> 00:02:31.837
if quad is now running writing 90% of

00:02:31.920 --> 00:02:34.317
all of the code in entropic do you need

00:02:34.400 --> 00:02:36.637
less engineers if 90% of all the code

00:02:36.720 --> 00:02:39.357
when will it be 95% or 99%.

00:02:39.440 --> 00:02:43.997
>> Yeah. So you know I you know I think
people can misinterpret it as you know

00:02:44.080 --> 00:02:48.077
you know like claude writing 90%
of the code means we're firing 90% of the

00:02:48.160 --> 00:02:51.517
software engineers. But you know if
you're familiar with the principle of

00:02:51.600 --> 00:02:52.957
>> you have made some very aggressive

00:02:53.040 --> 00:02:59.917
comments around firing
executives >> that that so

00:03:00.000 --> 00:03:01.757
um >> I just want to put
two and two together

00:03:01.840 --> 00:03:07.357
to get four. Okay.
>> Um uh so uh um you know if

00:03:07.440 --> 00:03:10.397
>> one thing I've learned in knowing you
for so long is I have to come back and

00:03:10.480 --> 00:03:13.917
kind of like get that qualifying
question again. Yes. because you're go,

00:03:14.000 --> 00:03:18.637
you know, you you you're you're going
fast. So trying to I'm trying to keep up

00:03:18.720 --> 00:03:22.157
with you and it's amazing, but I want to
just make sure I understand exactly what

00:03:22.240 --> 00:03:24.157
you're doing. >> Yes, absolutely.
Let me let me let me

00:03:24.240 --> 00:03:27.517
take them one by one. So um uh you know,

00:03:27.600 --> 00:03:30.557
under comparative advantage, if Claude

00:03:30.640 --> 00:03:33.517
is writing 90% of the code, what that

00:03:33.600 --> 00:03:36.397
means usually is you need just as many

00:03:36.480 --> 00:03:41.117
software engineers, you might need more
because they can they can then be more

00:03:41.200 --> 00:03:43.277
leveraged. they can focus on the 10%

00:03:43.360 --> 00:03:45.357
that's editing the code or writing the

00:03:45.440 --> 00:03:48.237
10% that's the hardest or supervising a

00:03:48.320 --> 00:03:52.637
group of a of AI models. And so what
happens is, you know, you can just end

00:03:52.720 --> 00:03:54.957
up being 10 times more productive

00:03:55.040 --> 00:03:58.317
because the remaining 10% is is now a

00:03:58.400 --> 00:04:02.077
complement to the to the AI system
that's that's getting much better at at

00:04:02.160 --> 00:04:04.557
getting much better at what
it's producing. So So

00:04:04.640 --> 00:04:07.677
>> it's a rebalancing of the work
is what you're really saying.

00:04:07.760 --> 00:04:08.957
>> It's it's not a replacement.

00:04:09.040 --> 00:04:10.077
>> It's not a replacement. It's a

00:04:10.160 --> 00:04:13.357
rebalancing. Okay. Now, as that 90% goes

00:04:13.440 --> 00:04:18.317
to 95 99 totally automated end to end,
there may be some point at which all

00:04:18.400 --> 00:04:22.317
bets are off. >> What's your time frame
for that? It's a pretty big jump there.

00:04:22.400 --> 00:04:24.717
>> It's very hard to say.
Um, but you know,

00:04:24.800 --> 00:04:28.477
we're looking at it. We're looking at it
closely. We're always looking for ways

00:04:28.560 --> 00:04:32.477
to encourage complimentarity. >> You see
that in the short term or the long term?

00:04:32.560 --> 00:04:35.117
>> Um, I, you know, >> is that
a 5year goal or a one year goal?

00:04:35.200 --> 00:04:37.117
>> I'm optimistic about 10ear goal.

00:04:37.200 --> 00:04:39.277
>> I'm optimistic about complimentarity in

00:04:39.360 --> 00:04:42.157
the short run. I you know I I I I I do

00:04:42.240 --> 00:04:45.197
worry as we get out to two years 5 years

00:04:45.280 --> 00:04:47.837
that across the economy not that there

00:04:47.920 --> 00:04:50.237
won't be anything for humans to do but

00:04:50.320 --> 00:04:52.477
that there will be enough disruption

00:04:52.560 --> 00:04:55.597
that that we'll have a you know a kind

00:04:55.680 --> 00:04:57.917
of labor disruption that is you know not

00:04:58.000 --> 00:05:00.397
fundamentally different from what we've

00:05:00.480 --> 00:05:02.797
seen with previous technologies but that

00:05:02.880 --> 00:05:08.157
operates faster that is broader across
the economy because it relates to all

00:05:08.240 --> 00:05:09.997
>> you think that's
in the next 2 to 5 years.

00:05:10.080 --> 00:05:11.437
>> Two to five years I would say.

00:05:11.520 --> 00:05:13.197
>> Okay. And at what
point just coming back

00:05:13.280 --> 00:05:18.557
to my previous question, at what point
is Enthropic the model writing 100% of

00:05:18.640 --> 00:05:22.477
the code? >> Yeah. Again,
it's it's a tricky question

00:05:22.560 --> 00:05:26.317
because maybe even if the model's
writing 100% of the code, the humans are

00:05:26.400 --> 00:05:31.880
still supervising the model
or prompting it or clarif

00:05:34.560 --> 00:05:36.637
it's it's it's it's a surprisingly

00:05:36.720 --> 00:05:41.517
clever thing. I don't, you know, I I'm
I I I am concerned particularly about

00:05:41.600 --> 00:05:45.597
people's ability to adapt as the jobs
are changing fast. The jobs are changing

00:05:45.680 --> 00:05:49.117
so fast, but comparative comparative
advantage is powerful. That's going to

00:05:49.200 --> 00:05:51.357
be one of our tools in this.
>> Well, you've mentioned healthcare

00:05:51.440 --> 00:05:55.437
several times, but we've seen these kind
of very conflicting studies recently in

00:05:55.520 --> 00:05:59.437
healthcare around accuracy, especially
because these are word models. There

00:05:59.520 --> 00:06:01.437
seems to be some level of accuracy

00:06:01.520 --> 00:06:06.877
that's not 100%. and were you know you
know and then when applied to some of

00:06:06.960 --> 00:06:10.397
these kind of other things like
radiology is one where we saw these very

00:06:10.480 --> 00:06:12.717
interesting you know studies where we

00:06:12.800 --> 00:06:17.517
just didn't see the accuracy of a
radiologist reflected in what the model

00:06:17.600 --> 00:06:21.597
was doing is that how you see it going
forward or how did you reflect back on

00:06:21.680 --> 00:06:25.757
that >> yeah I I would
say where we are now is I

00:06:25.840 --> 00:06:28.957
think of the models and I think a lot
of people who use the models in practice

00:06:29.040 --> 00:06:30.397
>> you know where I'm
going right where I'm

00:06:30.480 --> 00:06:34.477
trying to I'm trying to like understand
Where are we really in the evolution of

00:06:34.560 --> 00:06:36.957
the world? >> Where's the arc?
So, so I think a lot of

00:06:37.040 --> 00:06:41.037
you I I think and a lot of people who
use the models in practice, I think

00:06:41.120 --> 00:06:43.597
think of the models as maybe a bit like

00:06:43.680 --> 00:06:46.237
a second opinion, right? Where you don't

00:06:46.320 --> 00:06:50.957
necessarily trust them alone. Just like
if a doctor says something to me, I you

00:06:51.040 --> 00:06:54.637
know, I don't I don't necessarily take
that as fact. They're an expert, but and

00:06:54.720 --> 00:06:58.797
they're often right, but they're not
always right. Um uh so you know I'll

00:06:58.880 --> 00:07:00.477
tell you >> especially
in this one category

00:07:00.560 --> 00:07:04.637
radiology it seems strange
like it just can't get its

00:07:04.720 --> 00:07:07.437
>> I was going to say can't get its
head around it but that's not really the

00:07:07.520 --> 00:07:11.357
right metaphor but doesn't have >> it
does there is something about either

00:07:11.440 --> 00:07:15.997
it doesn't have enough data or it's not
getting it's too nuanced. What is it?

00:07:16.080 --> 00:07:19.517
>> Yeah. So let me let me actually tell
you a story about about one case where it

00:07:19.600 --> 00:07:23.357
where it where it did work. Um so
you know we're talking about you know

00:07:23.440 --> 00:07:26.637
founding the company with with my sister.
She recently had her second

00:07:26.720 --> 00:07:30.477
child while she was pregnant. Um, you
know, pregnancy can suppress your immune

00:07:30.560 --> 00:07:34.637
system. Uh, was was viral. For some
reason, it didn't occur to to any of

00:07:34.720 --> 00:07:37.997
them that it could be a bacterial
infection. She took all her data. She

00:07:38.080 --> 00:07:42.717
uploaded it to Claude and, you know,
Claude, you know, systematically listed

00:07:42.800 --> 00:07:45.917
the possibilities in the way
that the doctors had somehow missed.

00:07:46.000 --> 00:07:49.517
>> That is amazing, right? How many of us
have already used the models in some way

00:07:49.600 --> 00:07:51.757
to look at our healthcare?
Raise your hand.

00:07:51.840 --> 00:07:53.837
>> Yeah, I think we're
all having exactly that.

00:07:53.920 --> 00:07:56.797
>> That's that's a lot of people.
It's amazing, right? Where you can kind of

00:07:56.880 --> 00:07:58.717
say especially how many of you are the

00:07:58.800 --> 00:08:04.237
hypochondrics that are doing that? Raise
your hand. Yeah, I got a few. Okay, I

00:08:04.320 --> 00:08:07.197
know I'm >> But but but
here's the point, which is

00:08:07.280 --> 00:08:10.477
Claude listed possibilities. If she had

00:08:10.560 --> 00:08:13.837
just blindly taken the advice of Claude,

00:08:13.920 --> 00:08:17.837
that would not have gone well. Um Claude
was good for saying, "Hey, have you

00:08:17.920 --> 00:08:22.397
considered this? Have you considered
that?" So, so it has this assistive

00:08:22.480 --> 00:08:25.277
augmentative ability >> especially
in regards to words, right?

00:08:25.360 --> 00:08:28.557
It's very good on words. >> Words.
Yeah. Yeah. I mean, you know this

00:08:28.640 --> 00:08:32.637
specialized stuff of reading images like
I think that's more about specialized

00:08:32.720 --> 00:08:36.237
models like if you don't have the right
data maybe it's not doing well again.

00:08:36.320 --> 00:08:39.597
It's less reflective of the >>
is that the crux of the issue like in

00:08:39.680 --> 00:08:41.597
radiology because like when we're saying

00:08:41.680 --> 00:08:43.997
it's going to improve health care but we

00:08:44.080 --> 00:08:47.277
also saw this weird study where doctors

00:08:47.360 --> 00:08:52.237
who were using the models some in some
cases were relying too much of the

00:08:52.320 --> 00:08:55.197
models and then ending
up with bad outcomes.

00:08:55.280 --> 00:08:59.517
>> On the other side then we saw models
that were like trying to read radiology

00:08:59.600 --> 00:09:03.357
but then were not able to achieve
accuracy. There was like this kind of

00:09:03.440 --> 00:09:05.197
strange bifurcation between the two

00:09:05.280 --> 00:09:07.517
things. Yeah, you know, I think there's

00:09:07.600 --> 00:09:12.717
a lot still left to work out in what
the role of the human is and what the role

00:09:12.800 --> 00:09:16.877
of the model is. And of course, that's
changing as the models improve rapidly.

00:09:16.960 --> 00:09:20.237
But, you know, I think it's something
you often see in new technologies where

00:09:20.320 --> 00:09:24.717
there's this great technology and then
these practical issues of exactly how do

00:09:24.800 --> 00:09:29.037
you use it, exactly how do you interact
with it? They take surprisingly long to

00:09:29.120 --> 00:09:31.117
work out. And you know if you look back

00:09:31.200 --> 00:09:33.917
at you know the early days when people

00:09:34.000 --> 00:09:38.157
you know kind of you know deployed
deployed new technologies I don't know

00:09:38.240 --> 00:09:41.117
it's it's just it's often >> you
think this is going to be about

00:09:41.200 --> 00:09:42.957
humans and agents working together.

00:09:43.040 --> 00:09:45.037
>> Yeah. No no no exactly just just the

00:09:45.120 --> 00:09:49.997
collaboration model needs to be worked
out a bit more than it has in these

00:09:50.080 --> 00:09:51.997
practical areas. code is good to point

00:09:52.080 --> 00:09:54.637
to like code happens so fast right

00:09:54.720 --> 00:09:57.757
developers are early adopters and so

00:09:57.840 --> 00:09:59.997
that cycle we've gone through it in like

00:10:00.080 --> 00:10:05.037
months right you can see people talking
in blog posts about oh you know what's

00:10:05.120 --> 00:10:08.957
the best way to use quad code do I
want it to suggest and I make edits or I

00:10:09.040 --> 00:10:13.277
write code and it makes edits and these
people riff off each other and you know

00:10:13.360 --> 00:10:16.557
over the course of three or four months
they work out what the best way to use

00:10:16.640 --> 00:10:20.557
quad code is I think that same thing
is happening in healthcare and radiology

00:10:20.640 --> 00:10:23.917
technology, but because there are a lot
of barriers in these industries, because

00:10:24.000 --> 00:10:26.637
they're high stakes, that that process

00:10:26.720 --> 00:10:29.357
is working itself out much slower.

00:10:29.440 --> 00:10:33.117
>> So, that's really kind of getting down
to it, right? That it's a collaborative

00:10:33.200 --> 00:10:35.677
thing. Like, here's the best way to use

00:10:35.760 --> 00:10:37.757
cloud code. Cloud code is writing the

00:10:37.840 --> 00:10:40.317
code, but here's really the best way as

00:10:40.400 --> 00:10:43.277
a developer now to work on cloud code.

00:10:43.360 --> 00:10:47.437
It's not writing 100% of the code.
It's writing code now. I'm like checking

00:10:47.520 --> 00:10:51.357
here's here's and now now I'm going
to have to maintain the code. I'm going to

00:10:51.440 --> 00:10:55.597
have to provide all the capabilities the
whole infrastructure around the code. Is

00:10:55.680 --> 00:10:58.397
this the right way to think about it?
I I think that's the right way to think

00:10:58.480 --> 00:11:01.357
about it right now. Um uh you know as as

00:11:01.440 --> 00:11:04.237
the models get stronger then the

00:11:04.320 --> 00:11:09.117
collaboration may change to more distant
supervision by the human. Um so it's

00:11:09.200 --> 00:11:13.197
it's very hard to say what will happen
even six months from now. But but I

00:11:13.280 --> 00:11:16.397
think what you've said is a very
accurate description of where we are now

00:11:16.480 --> 00:11:21.437
as of you know our our you know as of
Sonnet 4.5 which was the latest model

00:11:21.520 --> 00:11:24.877
released at >> which is probably one
of the best coders that we've seen right

00:11:24.960 --> 00:11:29.277
>> it it you know every every you know
we have these benchmarks that are like you

00:11:29.360 --> 00:11:31.597
know what fraction of you know a random

00:11:31.680 --> 00:11:36.557
sample of GitHub PRs can this thing
write from a description and that's over

00:11:36.640 --> 00:11:40.797
the last year and a half that's gone
from like 5% which was basically the

00:11:40.880 --> 00:11:45.437
thing can't code at all
to something like you know 77%.

00:11:45.520 --> 00:11:49.517
Uh so it's it's it's really >>
and it's also yielding also this whole

00:11:49.600 --> 00:11:54.157
other ecosystem of things on top of it
as well like even we showed agent force

00:11:54.240 --> 00:11:58.397
fives yesterday that I think our customers
will benefit from or other you

00:11:58.480 --> 00:12:01.597
know other tools lovable these things
have been built on these things right

00:12:01.680 --> 00:12:05.277
has that been a surprise to you to see
a whole ecosystem on top of the model

00:12:05.360 --> 00:12:08.557
>> I mean that's been that's been great
to see there are there are many different

00:12:08.640 --> 00:12:12.317
models right if you look at the GitHub
co-pilots of the world you know that's

00:12:12.400 --> 00:12:15.677
kind of complimentary to GitHub if you
look at the cursors of the world. That's

00:12:15.760 --> 00:12:20.637
kind of an IDE model. If you look at the
lovables and replets, that's more of a

00:12:20.720 --> 00:12:24.957
consumer model. It allows people who are
not traditionally software developers to

00:12:25.040 --> 00:12:29.277
write code. Um, you know, there's like a,
you know, versel is like a different

00:12:29.360 --> 00:12:30.957
a different way of looking at it.

00:12:31.040 --> 00:12:35.117
Augment code, wind surf, you know,
there's a whole ecosystem. And then

00:12:35.200 --> 00:12:37.037
there's the command line tools like like

00:12:37.120 --> 00:12:39.917
claude code. Uh, so I think it's too

00:12:40.000 --> 00:12:44.077
early to say, you know, what's going
to be the winner there or or even if there

00:12:44.160 --> 00:12:47.117
is one winner, it's just possible
there's just different things that work

00:12:47.200 --> 00:12:50.077
for different people or or different
>> there's a whole civilization.

00:12:50.160 --> 00:12:51.997
>> There's a whole eos capability, right?

00:12:52.080 --> 00:12:56.237
It's a whole civilization like it's
an eco it's even it's broader like it's

00:12:56.320 --> 00:13:00.397
really coming across the whole span.
It it's really impressive,

00:13:00.480 --> 00:13:05.197
>> you know? It's it's it's so fundamental
that it's able to yield all this

00:13:05.280 --> 00:13:07.357
incredible innovation from others.

00:13:07.440 --> 00:13:10.157
>> Yeah. No, this I mean >> which
one of those is the most like the

00:13:10.240 --> 00:13:11.917
one you did not expect?

00:13:12.000 --> 00:13:14.237
>> Which one is the one
that I most did not

00:13:14.320 --> 00:13:19.117
expect? Um I think the model of kind of

00:13:19.200 --> 00:13:21.677
allowing people to write code end to end

00:13:21.760 --> 00:13:26.477
like allowing non-coders to write code
it totally makes sense once I see it and

00:13:26.560 --> 00:13:30.397
it's doing really well as a business
model. But but I I I just when I was

00:13:30.480 --> 00:13:33.197
conceptualizing all the >> which
product do you love the best?

00:13:33.280 --> 00:13:37.597
>> Uh yeah this is this is one of those
questions that you know you know it's C

00:13:37.680 --> 00:13:39.357
your customers are like your children.

00:13:39.440 --> 00:13:42.237
You you you you really shouldn't give
an answer. So, I'm not going to give an

00:13:42.320 --> 00:13:45.320
answer.

00:13:56.400 --> 00:13:58.157
All right. So, are you getting a sense

00:13:58.240 --> 00:14:01.277
for Dario, by the way? Are you getting a

00:14:01.360 --> 00:14:05.997
sense for Dario? Okay. So that's I'm
trying to like you know help them to

00:14:06.080 --> 00:14:10.237
understand you and how you're thinking
about this and where we're going. So now

00:14:10.320 --> 00:14:12.077
here you are, you know, you're

00:14:12.160 --> 00:14:15.357
entrepreneur, you've left Open AI, this

00:14:15.440 --> 00:14:17.357
thing is taking off. It's you and

00:14:17.440 --> 00:14:21.037
Daniela, you know, um you're in the

00:14:21.120 --> 00:14:25.997
Slack building, you're get where
is it going to be in 5 years. What

00:14:26.080 --> 00:14:30.317
does it look like? We've seen zero
to five years now. You don't have to tell

00:14:30.400 --> 00:14:33.997
me as an investor and there's nobody
hold gonna hold you accountable for it,

00:14:34.080 --> 00:14:36.877
but just if you just fantasized out and

00:14:36.960 --> 00:14:41.437
now it's not 2025, but it's 2030 and you

00:14:41.520 --> 00:14:45.837
know where's Enthropic? What does it
look like? Forget about all the other

00:14:45.920 --> 00:14:49.757
companies and all the other competitors,
whatever. Nobody cares. Where's

00:14:49.840 --> 00:14:51.597
Enthropic 5 years from now? What's your

00:14:51.680 --> 00:14:54.317
dream big what's your big dream? So, you

00:14:54.400 --> 00:14:58.637
know, I I think I think maybe maybe one
of the best ways to think about this is,

00:14:58.720 --> 00:15:01.997
you know, I wrote this essay called
Machines of Loving Grace where where

00:15:02.080 --> 00:15:04.877
it's really it was written from a
societal perspective, but you know, of

00:15:04.960 --> 00:15:08.557
course, the company is trying to enact
that and and then contribute to it and

00:15:08.640 --> 00:15:12.717
so you can back out from that where we
where we hope the the company will be.

00:15:12.800 --> 00:15:15.997
So, you know, I I really thought of it
as like the upside of AI, right? There's

00:15:16.080 --> 00:15:17.997
lots of concerns with AI. I I you know

00:15:18.080 --> 00:15:19.677
I'm one of the loudest in voicing them

00:15:19.760 --> 00:15:23.197
but but I am you know I am I am I am

00:15:23.280 --> 00:15:27.597
incredible believer in the upside of AI
you know I think I think more so than

00:15:27.680 --> 00:15:29.597
people who code or describe themselves

00:15:29.680 --> 00:15:31.997
as more optimistic I have just a really

00:15:32.080 --> 00:15:35.277
expansive view I am perhaps most excited

00:15:35.360 --> 00:15:39.917
about what it can do for curing diseases
um you know going back to my background

00:15:40.000 --> 00:15:42.157
in biology like you know we look at

00:15:42.240 --> 00:15:44.477
these tough diseases like cancer like

00:15:44.560 --> 00:15:47.517
Alzheimer's um you know like like you

00:15:47.600 --> 00:15:52.317
know various kinds of metabolic disease
like I I I just think AI is the right

00:15:52.400 --> 00:15:55.517
thing to cure them and so I think
of all the work we can do working with

00:15:55.600 --> 00:15:59.277
pharmaceutical companies working
with scientific research institutions and

00:15:59.360 --> 00:16:03.037
working with the health care system
to kind of enact it out and you know you

00:16:03.120 --> 00:16:06.157
again our partnership is about regulated
industries and one of the regulated

00:16:06.240 --> 00:16:08.717
industries I think especially is is

00:16:08.800 --> 00:16:13.357
healthcare but you know that is one
of the most positive applications but I

00:16:13.440 --> 00:16:17.037
think that we will see applications
across the industry I'm very excited

00:16:17.120 --> 00:16:19.277
about financial services. I'm very

00:16:19.360 --> 00:16:21.757
excited about insurance. I'm very

00:16:21.840 --> 00:16:24.397
excited about taking basically every

00:16:24.480 --> 00:16:28.477
enterprise um and learning to serve

00:16:28.560 --> 00:16:32.077
every enterprise with smarter and smarter
models. And the skill ceiling is

00:16:32.160 --> 00:16:35.997
very high. One way to say it is what
is an enterprise? It's kind of a super

00:16:36.080 --> 00:16:38.077
intelligence, right? It it is an entity

00:16:38.160 --> 00:16:40.637
that acts in the world in in in in in in

00:16:40.720 --> 00:16:45.597
a way with a level of strategy and and
knowledge and power in the world that

00:16:45.680 --> 00:16:49.597
goes far beyond what any individual
human can do. So, you know, even as

00:16:49.680 --> 00:16:53.757
these models get smarter than than than
any than any individual human, there's a

00:16:53.840 --> 00:16:57.757
ceiling substantially higher than
that in terms of doing the things that a

00:16:57.840 --> 00:17:01.677
company tries to do in the world. Um,
you know, most of which are good for the

00:17:01.760 --> 00:17:06.157
world, most of which create economic
value. Um and and and so then my my

00:17:06.240 --> 00:17:09.917
vision of Anthropic is a company that
serves the enterprise of the world that

00:17:10.000 --> 00:17:12.877
transforms every every enterprise puts

00:17:12.960 --> 00:17:15.437
AI at the center at the center of every

00:17:15.520 --> 00:17:17.917
enterprise. Um uh you know and and and

00:17:18.000 --> 00:17:20.157
and and you know I think I won't give

00:17:20.240 --> 00:17:22.637
specific numbers but like if you if you

00:17:22.720 --> 00:17:24.957
think about the actual market potential

00:17:25.040 --> 00:17:30.157
of that it's very very high right our
revenue has been going up 10x per year.

00:17:30.240 --> 00:17:32.877
It's currently, I think it was reported
this morning, which I'm happy to confirm

00:17:32.960 --> 00:17:36.157
is correct, is approaching approaching 7

00:17:36.240 --> 00:17:40.797
billion run rate. Um, that's gone up 10x
a year for the for the last three years.

00:17:40.880 --> 00:17:45.037
It can't continue like that for much
longer, of course, but uh you know,

00:17:45.120 --> 00:17:48.477
>> as an investor, I'm looking forward
to the $70 billion year next year.

00:17:48.560 --> 00:17:51.037
>> You should not feel bad investing at 4

00:17:51.120 --> 00:17:52.957
bill. You should not feel bad.

00:17:53.040 --> 00:17:57.117
>> Um uh uh uh so, you know, but I I I

00:17:57.200 --> 00:17:59.197
think the potential is is is very large.

00:17:59.280 --> 00:18:02.957
But but I think even even more important
than that or perhaps even necessary to

00:18:03.040 --> 00:18:07.277
that success, we want to be known
for, you know, the company that is

00:18:07.360 --> 00:18:09.757
trustworthy, the company that behaves

00:18:09.840 --> 00:18:12.477
responsibly, the company that has a that

00:18:12.560 --> 00:18:15.517
has a reputation for, you know, doing

00:18:15.600 --> 00:18:19.997
what it says, saying what it does,
and building products that are trustworthy

00:18:20.080 --> 00:18:23.757
that, you know, if you if you if
you build on us, you won't get any

00:18:23.840 --> 00:18:26.317
surprises. You won't get anything crazy.

00:18:26.400 --> 00:18:29.277
You won't get the model, you know,
saying it's Hitler. you won't you won't

00:18:29.360 --> 00:18:32.557
get, you know, all kinds of um you won't

00:18:32.640 --> 00:18:36.397
get all kinds of crazy stuff. Um and
and I think that's very important to us

00:18:36.480 --> 00:18:39.517
being good stewards of this.
>> Are there certain companies that you're

00:18:39.600 --> 00:18:42.077
trying to imply that that
might be >> None whatsoever.

00:18:42.160 --> 00:18:44.397
>> There's an entrepreneur
down in Palo Alto.

00:18:44.480 --> 00:18:46.717
>> None at all. I don't know
what you're talking about.

00:18:46.800 --> 00:18:50.717
>> Okay, I see.
That's a certain letter in the alphabet.

00:18:50.800 --> 00:18:53.437
>> I don't I don't I I have no
idea what you're talking about. Um

00:18:53.520 --> 00:18:57.037
>> Okay, it's before the letter Y. I sorry

00:18:57.120 --> 00:18:59.197
I still don't know what you mean.

00:18:59.280 --> 00:19:03.197
>> Okay, one more thing. I'm going to take
a couple I'm going to use moderator

00:19:03.280 --> 00:19:04.477
privilege here and take a couple extra

00:19:04.560 --> 00:19:08.237
minutes with you. So number one, we see

00:19:08.320 --> 00:19:11.197
right now a tremendous fever on building

00:19:11.280 --> 00:19:14.797
data centers and you know we've seen a

00:19:14.880 --> 00:19:17.997
tremendous fever around the chips, the

00:19:18.080 --> 00:19:22.077
financing, the size and scale of the
data centers, the energy of the data

00:19:22.160 --> 00:19:23.837
centers. you haven't really addressed it

00:19:23.920 --> 00:19:26.157
in your comments per se besides the

00:19:26.240 --> 00:19:31.757
scaling laws but let's talk about it
just in part and parcel to anthropic and

00:19:31.840 --> 00:19:35.117
when you think about obviously one
of your core partners has been Amazon it's

00:19:35.200 --> 00:19:40.477
been very important for your growth very
important company um even though you do

00:19:40.560 --> 00:19:43.677
have you know obviously relationship
with others as well but that one has

00:19:43.760 --> 00:19:47.757
been especially important to you
know just give us a vision of what's

00:19:47.840 --> 00:19:51.517
happening with these data centers right
now what are we going to see in the next

00:19:51.600 --> 00:19:54.957
few years with these these data centers
and how do you think about it as an

00:19:55.040 --> 00:19:59.117
entrepreneur who's going to need data
centers to grow? Who will you go to? How

00:19:59.200 --> 00:20:00.877
will you do it? Will you build your own?

00:20:00.960 --> 00:20:04.157
Will you just continue to partner?
What what is your plan?

00:20:04.240 --> 00:20:07.677
>> Yeah. So, you know, my my my view is is

00:20:07.760 --> 00:20:11.917
that there is going to be an enormous
need for compute for for all the reasons

00:20:12.000 --> 00:20:15.597
that uh you know that that we've laid out,
right? The the scaling laws suggest

00:20:15.680 --> 00:20:18.397
that we're going to need more and more
compute to train smarter and smarter

00:20:18.480 --> 00:20:21.837
models. And then as the revenue goes up,
we're gonna we're, you know, we're going

00:20:21.920 --> 00:20:25.197
to need to serve more. We're going
to need to serve more of our models. So

00:20:25.280 --> 00:20:30.397
when that revenue is not seven billion,
but a hundred billion or more. Um uh and

00:20:30.480 --> 00:20:33.917
you know, when when model training
requires millions of chips, you know,

00:20:34.000 --> 00:20:37.917
we're we're going to need many many
gigawatts of power to to train the

00:20:38.000 --> 00:20:39.997
models. So we're trying to secure that

00:20:40.080 --> 00:20:44.957
power basically wherever we can. Um you
know, and I'm confident in the company's

00:20:45.040 --> 00:20:46.637
uh I'm confident in the company's

00:20:46.720 --> 00:20:49.677
ability to do so. I I I do get a bit

00:20:49.760 --> 00:20:52.397
worried when the press focuses too much

00:20:52.480 --> 00:20:55.357
on the building of the data centers and

00:20:55.440 --> 00:20:59.757
deals to build data centers. Some
of these deals seem a little bit fishy.

00:20:59.840 --> 00:21:03.597
They seem like there may be double
counting. And I I also worry again

00:21:03.680 --> 00:21:05.117
>> deals are you ask talking about?

00:21:05.200 --> 00:21:06.237
>> I don't know what you're talking about.

00:21:06.320 --> 00:21:11.517
I have no idea. Um uh uh uh >> who
is double counting? These are all

00:21:11.600 --> 00:21:15.117
public companies. I I >> we're going
to want to know who's double counting.

00:21:15.200 --> 00:21:17.677
>> I don't I don't I don't know.
I don't know anything more than you.

00:21:17.760 --> 00:21:19.197
>> What about the ones who
are doing triple counting?

00:21:19.280 --> 00:21:21.517
>> I I don't There might
be some of that, too.

00:21:21.600 --> 00:21:26.077
>> Oh, wow. All right.
>> I don't know. Um uh uh uh but but but

00:21:26.160 --> 00:21:27.917
look look look look at the end of the

00:21:28.000 --> 00:21:30.397
day all this data center stuff is

00:21:30.480 --> 00:21:33.197
spending money, right? Um I think the

00:21:33.280 --> 00:21:35.517
thing that's most important is making

00:21:35.600 --> 00:21:38.397
money. Um and and so this is why I focus

00:21:38.480 --> 00:21:41.357
on, you know, the revenue and the actual

00:21:41.440 --> 00:21:43.517
work that we're doing with businesses.

00:21:43.600 --> 00:21:46.557
ROIC is growing faster than any other

00:21:46.640 --> 00:21:50.557
company in the space. The revenue
is growing faster and you know I think I

00:21:50.640 --> 00:21:54.557
think basically if if you know if the if
the demand is there if customers want

00:21:54.640 --> 00:21:58.317
the money and they're willing to pay you
then you are willing to pay your compute

00:21:58.400 --> 00:22:01.757
providers and you'll get the compute
you need at the end of the day.

00:22:01.840 --> 00:22:04.157
>> Daria, we could not
be more grateful for

00:22:04.240 --> 00:22:09.517
you to be here to be in San Francisco
to be a native son and to Daniela as well

00:22:09.600 --> 00:22:10.957
and for everything that you're doing

00:22:11.040 --> 00:22:17.240
with anthropic congratulations.
Please give Dario a round of applause.
