Anthropic to open Singapore office as Republic’s per-capita usage ranks second globally
This marks Anthropic’s fifth location in the Apac region
Artificial intelligence firm Anthropic announced plans on September 16 to open a new office in Singapore, marking the fifth location in the Asia-Pacific region. The move comes as Singapore ranks second globally for per-capita usage of Anthropic's AI model, Claude, according to the company's latest Economic Index. The new office will complement Anthropic's existing regional network in Tokyo, Bengaluru, Seoul, and Sydney.
Chris Ciauri, managing director of international at Anthropic, stated that the presence in Singapore is a natural next step as Claude usage per capita is among the highest in the world. Dale Finlay, a former Google Cloud executive, will lead regional commercial operations in Singapore as general manager of Asean. Anthropic plans to hire locally across various operational roles to support the new office.
The company aims to collaborate with organizations of all sizes, from startups to large enterprises and the public sector, particularly in regulated sectors such as financial services and government. Anthropic's expansion in Singapore follows similar moves by OpenAI and Google DeepMind, with OpenAI opening its first Applied AI Lab outside the US in Singapore in May and planning to invest S$300 million in the Republic.
