You aren\u2019t alone if so, which is why we\u2019re so delighted to announce that Anthropic co-founder and Chief Science Officer Jared Kaplan is joining the main stage at TechCrunch Sessions: AI<\/a> <\/strong>on June 5 at UC Berkeley\u2019s Zellerbach Hall.<\/p>\n And TechCrunch Sessions: AI is right around the corner! To celebrate the chance to broaden the AI community, we\u2019re offering a limited-time discount on our tickets. For just $292 you can get access to our entire day of programming and networking \u2014\u00a0and if you bring a friend, that second ticket will be 50% off. Register now before the deal expires<\/a>!<\/p>\n Kaplan will take TC Sessions: AI attendees behind the scenes on hybrid reasoning models \u2014 which balance quick responses to simple queries with deeper processing for complex problems \u2014 and share insights into Anthropic<\/a>\u2018s risk-governance framework for mitigating potential AI risks. (Kaplan was appointed Anthropic\u2019s responsible scaling officer in October.)<\/p>\n Get the details on his session and check out all the AI trailblazers joining us \u2014 visit the TC Sessions: AI agenda page<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n Jared Kaplan<\/a> has a pretty remarkable r\u00e9sum\u00e9. Before co-founding Anthropic, he spent 15 years as a theoretical physicist at Johns Hopkins University, exploring quantum gravity, field theory, and cosmology. Since then, his research on scaling laws has been credited with revolutionizing how the AI industry understands and predicts the behavior of advanced systems. In fact, before Anthropic, Kaplan played a role in developing GPT-3 and Codex at OpenAI; meanwhile, at Anthropic, Kaplan helped develop Claude, the company\u2019s family of AI assistants.<\/p>\n It\u2019s been a wild ride for Kaplan and company. Anthropic\u2019s remarkable growth has been fueled by several major developments in just recent months alone, including its launch of Claude 3.7 Sonnet<\/a> in late February, which the company described as its \u201cmost intelligent model yet\u201d and the first hybrid reasoning model that can handle both simple and complex queries with appropriate processing time for each.<\/p>\n The company more recently introduced an autonomous research capability and Google Workspace integration, transforming Claude into what Anthropic has characterized as a \u201ctrue virtual collaborator\u201d for enterprise users. Unsurprisingly, investors have noticed. In March, Anthropic announced that it had completed a new fundraising deal that valued the company at $61.5 billion, up from about $16 billion roughly a year earlier. <\/p>\n At TechCrunch Sessions: AI<\/a><\/strong>, Kaplan will share his vision for how AI will transform human-computer interaction, work processes, and social dynamics. But beyond the theoretical and technical aspects, Kaplan will offer tactical takeaways for teams of all sizes that are looking to implement AI and maximize its impact.<\/p>\n One of AI\u2019s sharpest voices is taking the stage.
