MILAN, May 28 Anthropic will continue expanding in Europe after opening its sixth office on the continent in Milan on Thursday, Chris Ciauri, managing director for international at the U.S.
The company plans to triple its international workforce to meet rising demand for its Claude large language models outside the United States. Its European bases include Dublin, Zurich, Munich and Paris, as well as a London office currently employing about 200 staff. Ciauri did not disclose planned hiring in Milan. “We’ve publicly announced in London a few weeks back that we’re opening a new office and we’ll have 800 employees there.
So Milan will get a lot bigger, Paris will get a lot bigger, Munich will get a lot bigger. There will be more offices,” he said. The expansion comes as companies across Europe race to deploy AI systems to boost productivity, while policymakers debate how to regulate the fast-moving technology. “We actually like the makeup of the Italian economy because we think it suits some of the things we do particularly well,” Ciauri told Reuters in Milan.
