The Anthropic model: why it raises questions, and what you actually need to know

A few weeks ago, an internal Anthropic memo leaked. In it, the company described its own models as potentially "one of the most dangerous technologies ever built." The sentence went viral, often out of context, often misread.
It's a good moment to step back and look at what Anthropic actually is, what they do, and why their approach is different.
Anthropic was founded in 2021 by former OpenAI members, including Dario and Daniela Amodei. Their orientation was clear from day one: AI safety research first. Not "let's build the best model", but "let's build a model whose behavior we actually understand."
Their core method is called Constitutional AI. Rather than training Claude purely on human feedback, they give it a set of principles it learns to apply and evaluate on its own. The idea: a model capable of reasoning about its own responses is more predictable, and safer, than one that simply optimizes to please.
Their research is largely published. Their communication about risks is explicit, which is rare in this industry. And that transparency is precisely what sometimes generates concern: when a company openly says what it's building could be dangerous, people listen differently.
Their stated position: this technology is going to exist regardless. The real question is who builds it, and with what mindset. It's an honest argument. It's also one worth following closely rather than taking at face value.

AI Summit Barcelona: 7 tracks for every builder

On September 22 and 23, Barcelona hosts one of the densest AI events in Europe. Two days, 7 tracks, hundreds of participants from across the continent, and the kind of atmosphere only Barcelona knows how to create: seafront venue, good energy, real conversations.
This is not a conference you attend to watch. It's one you come to to meet people who are actually building things.

VibeCoding: where to start, and with what

VibeCoding refers to a way of building products by describing what you want to an AI tool, rather than writing code manually. Tools have progressed far enough that you can go very far without mastering syntax.
The options available today are many. Here are the ones worth knowing.
Claude Our pick to start
The most accessible entry point. Clean interface, strong contextual understanding, great for describing a project from scratch and iterating through conversation.
Cursor Dev-friendly
A code editor where AI works alongside you. Better cost control over time, closer to actual development. Ideal if you want to stay close to what's happening under the hood.
Codex (OpenAI)
OpenAI's established tool on this segment. Relevant if you're already working in the GPT environment.
A simple prompt to get started:

      "I want to build [short description of your project]. Target stack: Next.js, Node, Vercel, Supabase. Start by suggesting a simple architecture, the first steps, and the files to create first. Ask me questions if you need clarification."
    
When you're stuck: ask. Directly to the tool. "Explain what you just did." "What does this error mean." The AI is also an interlocutor, not just a generator.
And if you want a proper tech team behind you to go further, that's exactly what Crewly is for.

Why we're building Crewly

At a moment when everything is accelerating, having a fast and solid tech team matters more than ever.
The problem: it's also harder than ever to put one together. Beyond cost, it's the combination that's difficult. The right skills, at the right level, with the right product mindset. This kind of team usually takes years to consolidate.
And alongside that, most tools and processes still create friction at every step.
That's what Crewly is built to solve. A dream tech team as a service, with everything integrated. Real tech and product people behind it, the right AI tools to remove friction, and the ability to ship fast without sacrificing quality.
Not an agency. Not freelancers. A structured team, ready to build with you from day one.
