On July 7th local time, the US artificial intelligence company Anthropic announced that it will lease a 16-story office building located at 330 Hudson Street in Manhattan, New York, and plans to double its New York workforce to 1,000 people this year. This move marks that Anthropic is accelerating its strategy on the East Coast, getting closer to the talent pool and customer base of the global financial and media center.

According to Anthropic, the New York office before the expansion was already the company's largest office outside its headquarters in San Francisco. Securing the entire 16-story office building means that Anthropic's investment in New York is no longer a tentative gesture of establishing a branch, but rather elevating it to a core hub parallel to the San Francisco headquarters. The goal of doubling the workforce to 1,000 people directly reflects the company's strong demand for engineering, research, and business talent during its phase of commercial expansion.
