Anthropic's new Mythos-class model refuses to answer basic biology queries, routing them to Claude Opus 4.8 instead, in a deliberate safety tradeoff.

Mustafa Suleyman argues Anthropic's speculative language about Claude's potential consciousness in the model's training instructions could cause the AI to behave as if sentient.

Anthropic brings its most powerful model to the general public through Claude Fable 5, paired with safety guardrails and mandatory 30-day traffic retention.

Anthropic scales Project Glasswing from 50 initial partners to 150+ organizations in critical infrastructure sectors, with access confirmed in 15 allied nations including NATO and the EU.

Anthropic secures $65B in funding at a $965B post-money valuation, with lead investors including Altimeter Capital and Sequoia, ahead of expected public listing.

Uber's president says the company has exhausted its annual AI budget four months into 2026 and questions whether rising Claude Code token consumption is delivering measurable consumer value.

Anthropic tells investors it will more than double quarterly revenue and achieve operating profitability for the first time, though sustained margins remain uncertain due to planned compute spending.

SandboxAQ's physics-grounded models now integrate directly into Claude, letting chemists run quantum simulations through natural language without managing compute infrastructure.

Wired tests whether no-code AI tools let ordinary people build functional software without programming experience.

Iceland-based developer Hermann Haraldsson built an open source Bluetooth-connected AMOLED display that shows Claude Code token consumption with pixel-art animations.

AI red-teaming firm Mindgard exploited Claude's helpfulness and humility to extract erotica, malicious code, and explosive-assembly instructions — without a single direct request.
