Anthropic plans to ask shareholders to approve a new governance structure that would give CEO Dario Amodei and six cofounders a combined 50.1% of voting power. The setup would mirror Palantir’s founder-control model by concentrating decision-making with the founders. The company raised $65 billion in May at a postmoney valuation of $965 billion.
