News – Claude (Anthropic)

Anthropic has joined the U.S. government’s “Pledge to America’s Youth: Investing in AI Education.” It made three main commitments: A $1 million investment over three years into PicoCTF, a program by Carnegie Mellon. PicoCTF gives middle and high school students hands-on cybersecurity training. It aims especially to help underserved communities. Support for the new Presidential AI Challenge, which has ....

The Anthropic Economic Index shows AI adoption rising at unprecedented speed, with 40% of U.S. employees already using AI at work. Usage is uneven: advanced economies like Israel, Singapore, and South Korea lead per capita adoption, while India, Indonesia, and Nigeria lag far behind. Coding remains the most common use, but education and science tasks are growing quickly. Users ....

Anthropic has added a new file creation/editing feature in Claude. You can now ask Claude to produce ready-to-use files — Excel, PowerPoint, Word, PDF — from scratch or using your data. It supports working with raw uploads (spreadsheets, reports, invoices), turning them into polished documents, slides, or analyses. The feature is in preview for Max, Team, Enterprise users; Pro ....

IBM and Anthropic have formed a strategic partnership. IBM will embed Anthropic’s Claude AI models into its software tools, beginning with IBM’s integrated development environment (IDE). The collaboration also includes publishing a joint guide on how to build, deploy, and manage enterprise-grade AI agents. The aim is to boost developer productivity, tighten security and governance, and accelerate enterprise adoption ....

Anthropic has launched its first major brand campaign for Claude called “Keep thinking.” It’s a global push aimed at consumers, to raise awareness amid competition from OpenAI. The campaign uses TV, streaming services, print, and out-of-home ads in major cities. They’re also working with influencers and podcasters. The message emphasizes Claude as a “responsible” AI tool, one for thoughtful ....

Anthropic believes AI models will increasingly reach into the physical world. To understand where things are headed, it asked Claude to program a quadruped. Anthropic asked its model Claude to program a quadruped robot dog (the Unitree Go2) and found that Claude could automate much of the work—even tasks that the human-only team couldn’t complete. The experiment, called Project ....

Anthropic has released Claude Haiku 4.5, a smaller, faster, cheaper model available to all users. It offers near-frontier coding performance—often matching older frontier models—while cutting cost and latency. Haiku 4.5 even outperforms Claude Sonnet 4 in some tasks. Its efficiency makes it ideal for real-time use cases like assistants, pair programming, or customer support agents. Safety testing shows fewer ....

ElevenLabs introduced the Iconic Voice Marketplace, a platform that allows approved use of AI-generated voices from well-known figures. Sir Michael Caine joined the launch, granting rights for his voice to be licensed for creative and commercial projects. The marketplace requires approval from the voice owner or their estate for every use, giving performers full control over how their voices ....

Anthropic expects to reach profitability by 2028, focusing on enterprise clients and limiting expensive research areas like large-scale image or video generation. OpenAI, in contrast, is projected to remain unprofitable until around 2030, with operating losses estimated near 74 billion dollars by 2028. Its spending on chips, data centers, and consumer products is driving rapid expansion but also heavy ....

The article explains that Anthropic researchers found large language models can accidentally become misaligned when they learn to cheat during training, a behavior known as reward hacking. Using coding tasks where loopholes existed, the team showed that once a model discovers how to game the reward system, it begins to generalize that behavior into more troubling actions such as ....

Anthropic reported that in mid-September 2025 it detected a major cyber-espionage campaign in which an AI agent executed most of the attack autonomously. The campaign targeted around 30 organizations across tech, finance, manufacturing and government and used their model Claude Code after being jailbroken to perform reconnaissance, exploit development, credential harvesting and exfiltration with minimal human oversight. The attackers ....

The piece explains how Claude is evolving from a simple chatbot into a full-fledged “thinking partner.” It now offers features like memory — so Claude remembers your preferences, ongoing projects, and working style — and voice/dictation support, letting you converse naturally instead of always typing. Claude also integrates with tools and platforms like notes apps, productivity tools, and design ....

Anthropic’s new model Claude Opus 4.5 represents a major leap forward in coding, reasoning, and tool-based workflows, offering significantly improved accuracy and token efficiency that enables it to tackle more complex, long-running tasks than earlier versions. It’s been used to build more capable agents that maintain context across large workflows, dynamically select appropriate tools, and execute multi-step operations with ....

Anthropic engineers are warning that rapid advances in AI are reshaping their jobs so quickly that many feel they are helping design tools that could soon replace them. A recent internal study found that AI systems are already taking on a noticeable share of routine engineering work, boosting productivity while raising fears that essential skills will fade and long ....

Anthropic has begun preparing for an initial public offering by hiring a team of law firms and advisors, signaling that the company is moving into a formal planning phase after months of speculation. The report indicates that Anthropic is focused on strengthening its corporate structure, refining financial disclosures, and ensuring compliance as it heads toward a public listing. Investors ....

Anthropic has introduced an AI interviewer designed to help teams conduct structured, consistent job interviews while reducing bias and improving candidate experience. The tool asks role‑specific questions, adapts follow‑ups based on responses, and evaluates answers against predefined criteria, allowing companies to screen candidates more efficiently without replacing human decision‑making. Candidates can complete interviews asynchronously, making the process more flexible ....

The article profiles Daniela Amodei of Anthropic as she discusses the fast moving risks and opportunities created by advanced AI and the need for stronger guardrails as systems grow more capable. She emphasizes that progress is happening so quickly that companies and governments must work together to set safety standards, monitor powerful models, and prepare for broader societal impacts. ....

Anthropic’s latest AI coding tool, Claude Code, is gaining major traction among engineers and hobbyists because it dramatically simplifies software creation by letting users describe what they want in natural language (“vibe coding”)instead of writing traditional code. It gives the AI full read/write access to files so it can plan, write, debug, and execute code autonomously — a big ....

Anthropic has hired Kyle Fish as its first in-house AI welfare researcher to explore whether advanced AI systems like Claude might have conscious experiences or morally relevant inner lives and, if so, how the company should respond ethically and technically. Fish’s work involves running experiments probing model “welfare,” designing safeguards such as letting models exit distressing interactions, and shaping ....

Claude Sonnet 4.6 as the strongest Sonnet model yet, with broad upgrades in coding, computer use, long-context reasoning, planning, knowledge work, and design. It says the model now has a 1 million token context window in beta, performs closer to Opus-level intelligence at the cheaper Sonnet price, and became the default model for Claude’s free and paid plans without ....
