Jared Kaplan, co-founder and Chief Science Officer of Anthropic, is set to take the main stage at TechCrunch Sessions: AI on June 5 at UC Berkeley’s Zellerbach Hall.
Kaplan will offer attendees a rare behind-the-scenes look at Anthropic’s latest advances, including hybrid reasoning models that balance fast responses to simple queries with deeper processing for complex challenges.
He’ll also discuss Anthropic’s risk-governance framework, sharing how the company approaches responsible scaling and AI safety in an era of rapid innovation.
Kaplan’s journey to AI prominence began with a 15-year academic career as a theoretical physicist at Johns Hopkins University, where his research on scaling laws revolutionised the industry’s understanding of advanced AI systems.
He contributed to the development of OpenAI’s GPT-3 and Codex before co-founding Anthropic, where he helped launch the Claude family of AI assistants.
Anthropic’s momentum has accelerated in 2025, marked by the launch of Claude 3.7 Sonnet- its most advanced hybrid reasoning model to date- and new enterprise features like autonomous research and Google Workspace integration.
The company’s valuation has surged to $61.5 billion, up from $16 billion just a year ago, reflecting investor confidence in Anthropic’s vision and technology.
At TechCrunch Sessions: AI, Kaplan will not only explore the technical frontiers of AI but also provide practical guidance for businesses and teams looking to implement AI effectively.
His session promises to bridge the gap between cutting-edge research and real-world application, making it a must-attend for anyone invested in the future of artificial intelligence.
