Ask HN: How do you pronounce the name of Anthropic's series of LLMs?

How do you say "Claude?" Do you say "clawed" or "cloud"? I'm American and use the latter pronunciation for some strange reason. This seems to throw a lot of people and is homophonic with another industry buzzword so I've been trying (unsuccessfully) to change it up. Is there perhaps a more esoteric pronunciation available that I can lean into to sound sophisticated?

There's a lot of heavy AI and LLM discourse happening right now but everybody seems to be avoiding this hard-hitting topic. I think it merits discussion.
