According to 1M AI News, Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei stated at the Morgan Stanley TMT Conference that Anthropic's employee retention rate is "the highest in the industry, and the gap is significant." All seven co-founders are still with the company, with the first departure occurring around the 20th employee hired. Competitors have offered Anthropic researchers compensation packages ranging from $100 million to $500 million, exceeding professional athlete levels, but the company refused to match, telling employees "you are here for the mission." Amodei said that significant salary increases would only "cause division and damage to the culture," and "what they are trying to buy is unbuyable, which is alignment with the mission."

He used Meta's poaching as an example: Anthropic lost only 2 people, OpenAI lost "several," and OpenAI is roughly 1.5 times the size of Anthropic, resulting in a difference of 10 to 20 times proportionally. Data previously disclosed by Amodei shows that Anthropic's employee retention rate for the past two years is around 80%, OpenAI around 67%, Google DeepMind around 78%, and Meta around 64%. He also stated that Anthropic has not "hit a wall" in AI capability enhancement, and "this year will see a sharp acceleration that surprises everyone."
