Inside Anthropic’s Bold Standoff: Why Their CEO Says “No” to Meta’s Jaw-Dropping 9-Figure Paychecks—and What It Means for Silicon Valley’s Future Steel Cage Match
Anthropic’s compensation is tied to a level-based system. Amodei explained on the podcast that when Anthropic staff join the company, they are classified into one of many different levels, which corresponds to their compensation.
“We don’t negotiate that level because we think it’s unfair,” Amodei said. “We want to have a systematic way.”
