Introducing Labs

Anthropic is expanding its Labs team to incubate experimental products at the forefront of AI capabilities, building on its successful approach to developing applications like Claude Code, the Model Context Protocol (MCP), and Skills. These products have rapidly evolved from research previews to essential tools, with MCP achieving 100 million monthly downloads and becoming an industry standard. The Labs team, now joined by Instagram co-founder Mike Krieger and led by Ami Vora, aims to explore new product possibilities and scale them responsibly to meet the needs of both enterprise customers and a growing user base. Anthropic's President, Daniela Amodei, emphasizes the need for a different organizational approach to keep pace with AI advancements, focusing on discovering and scaling experimental products. The company seeks builders with a history of creating beloved products and responsibly shaping emerging technologies, inviting interested individuals to join their efforts in pushing the boundaries of AI.
