Anthropic has a new CTO

He is Rahul Patil, the former CTO of Stripe. He took over the position from co-founder Sam McClenish, who will now focus on architecture and training of large models as the chief architect. Patil will be responsible for infrastructure, computing, and inference — key areas for the company, especially given the increasing load on Claude and the race with OpenAI and Meta* for computing power. https://techcrunch.com/2025/10/02/anthropic-hires-new-cto-with-focus-on-ai-infrastructure/
