“We're hiring a lot.”
Daniela Amodei, Anthropic president, interview 4 March 2022 Daniela and Dario Amodei on Anthropic (Future of Life Institute)
Anthropic is hiring a lot of people as of March 2022.
Mostly true True in substance, wrong in a detail.
Said for an organisation they lead or work for; it counts on both records.
What would count as true or false
Judge as of 2022-03-04, the date the statement was made, not late 2022. True: evidence from around that date shows Anthropic had many open roles or was growing headcount substantially, such as numerous job postings or reported rapid staff growth. Mostly true: active hiring is shown but on a modest scale relative to company size. Mixed: hiring was limited to a few roles. Mostly false: hiring was minimal, with very few openings. False: evidence shows a hiring freeze or no open positions at that time.
Evidence
- Anthropic raises Series B to build robust AI Anthropic · 29 April 2022 Own record
“Anthropic is now a growing team of around 40 people based in a plant-filled office in San Francisco, California, with plans to expand further this year.”

“Roughly 50 people worked at Anthropic in summer 2022. TIME”
Reasoning
Anthropic's own Series B announcement of 2022-04-29 [E1], about eight weeks after the statement, describes 'a growing team of around 40 people' with 'plans to expand further this year.' An independent source [E2] puts headcount at roughly 50 by summer 2022, which is consistent with active hiring in that period. The evidence shows active hiring and headcount growth, but it does not document numerous open roles or large-scale staff growth around 2022-03-04, so the claim fits mostly true better than true.
