Anthropic Invests $50 Million in AI Research Company Goodfire to Accelerate AI Model Interpretability Research.

Claude has invested $50 million in Goodfire, a San Francisco-based company working to ‘break open the black box of generative AI models’ and make them easier to understand and control. This early-stage bet is part of Goodfire’s $50 Million raise, led by Menlo Ventures and joined by Lightspeed, B Capital, Work-Bench, Wing, South Park Commons, and others.

The funding, secured less than a year after launch, will support research efforts and speed up the development of Ember, the company’s flagship interpretability platform, in collaboration with customers.
