| Anthropic, creator of Claude, has committed $40 million to Public First Action, a nonpartisan group advocating AI safeguards, American leadership, and transparency ahead of the midterms.

A publicly accessible vehicle lists Anthropic as its largest holding, alongside Databricks and Anduril, and can be purchased through an ordinary brokerage account.  |
