With the tech industry singularly focused on AI models, Anthropic is having an exceptionally good year.
The company may soon pull ahead of its main competitor, as it looks to raise tens of billions of dollars in a funding round that would put its valuation at some $950 billion (Open AI was valued at $854 billion in its March round), and business customers increasingly express a prefererence for Claude over Chat GPT. A recent report showed Anthropic recently outpaced Open AI among business customers, quadrupling its market share since May 2025.
Cat Wu, Anthropic s head of product for Claude Code and Cowork, has been a key figure in that success. Since joining the company in August 2024, Wu has helped shepherd Claude through a critical phase, leveling it up from a purely informational chatbot to a coding tool and beyond. Wu, who oversees the development of new features, is frequently paired with Boris Cherny, a core member of Anthropic s technical staff and the creator of Claude Code, leading the pair to be characterized as Anthropic s Batman and Robin.
