Anthropic (@AnthropicAI) has 142 posts in the library. Between them they drew 640,710 likes; the typical one reaches 1,921, and the biggest reached 54,035. Most of that work is about AI and Science. This is what the posts themselves say about how they write — not a profile, a pattern.
What they write about
- AI — 138 of 142 posts (97%)
- Science — 38 of 142 posts (27%)
Two or three subjects rather than one: a reader who follows for the first gets the others, which is how a niche account becomes a general one.
How they open
- 75% of posts open with an observation
- 11% of posts open with an announcement
- 8% of posts open with a number
Half or more of their posts open the same way — an observation. That is a signature, and it is worth reading the three below with that in mind: the move is the same, the subject changes.
We’ve identified industrial-scale distillation attacks on our models by DeepSeek, Moonshot AI, and MiniMax.
Introducing Project Glasswing: an urgent initiative to help secure the world’s most critical software.
New Anthropic research: A global workspace in language models.

What to borrow
Nothing of theirs — not a phrase, not a number, not a fact. What carries over is the shape.
