Key Concepts & Glossary: Anthropic Intelligence

Claude

Claude is a family of state-of-the-art Large Language Models developed by Anthropic. Highly regarded for its reasoning, coding capabilities, and context window size, Claude models are trained using a methodology called Constitutional AI.

Constitutional AI

Constitutional AI is an alignment training methodology developed by Anthropic to train helpful and harmless models without human-labeled feedback for safety. The model is given a written list of principles (a constitution) and recursively critiques its own outputs to align with those principles.

Model Context Protocol

Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open-source standard created by Anthropic that enables AI applications and agents to connect securely to local or remote data sources, developer tools, and API services via a standardized protocol.

Anthropic

Anthropic is an AI safety and research company, creators of the Claude LLM family, founded by former OpenAI researchers to build steerable, reliable, and constitutional AI systems.
