Anthropic builds safe, capable models. mynd builds the infrastructure to run, connect, and observe autonomous agents — across any model, including Claude.

[ 02 ]Key difference
Anthropic's mission is AI safety research. Their Claude models are excellent — particularly for long-context reasoning and careful instruction following. But production agent systems need more than a safe model.
mynd doesn't compete with Anthropic on model safety. We compete on infrastructure. Claude is a first-class routing target in mynd — use it where its strengths matter, and other models where theirs do.
