Report as of 2026-06-15 PT · Source: Metix AI
Google is the largest named prior employer in Anthropic’s visible technical staff: 302 people, 24%. DeepMind is 51 and OpenAI is 35, and those two lab counts together are 86. Stripe is 94. The page states the lab pair as 51 plus 35 equals 86 because both counts are published. It does not invent a share for Stripe or for the lab pair. The denominator context is the 1,281-person technical staff. These are not official headcount.
