Long-Term Benefit Trust

Anthropic's governance body that selects board members and advises leadership on the company's public benefit mission.

The Long-Term Benefit Trust (LTBT) is Anthropic's alternative to OpenAI's nonprofit board structure. It holds power to select members of Anthropic's Board of Directors and advise the board and leadership on mission alignment. The Trust is intended to ensure that safety and public benefit remain priorities as the company scales. However, the precise legal mechanics of the Trust agreement have not been made public.
