AI startup Anthropic is expanding its European presence by opening a new office in Milan. The company plans to significantly increase its international staff to meet growing demand for its AI models. This expansion comes as businesses across Europe adopt AI for productivity gains. Anthropic's focus on safety and ethics is noted.

London's AI hiring race is booming, with Anthropic offering some engineers £630k a year as Big Tech firms battle for AI talent.

Anthropic will open a Milan office this month, adding Italy to a European footprint that already spans London, Dublin, Zurich, Paris, and Munich.
