AI / Claude Models Basics Interview Questions
What is Claude and who makes it?
Claude is a family of state-of-the-art large language models (LLMs) built by Anthropic, an AI safety company founded in 2021. Claude excels at language, reasoning, analysis, coding, mathematics, and creative writing, and is designed with a strong focus on being helpful, harmless, and honest.
Anthropic makes Claude available in two main ways:
- claude.ai — a consumer and business chat interface (Free, Pro, Team, Enterprise, and Max plans)
- Claude API — a developer API for building applications, also available through Amazon Bedrock, Google Cloud Vertex AI, and Microsoft Foundry
Claude is trained using a technique called Constitutional AI (CAI), which guides the model's values and behaviour using a set of principles rather than relying purely on human feedback for every response. This approach is central to Anthropic's mission of building AI that is safe and beneficial.
