U.S. District Judge Rita Lin ruled that the Trump administration lacks sufficient evidence to classify Anthropic as a supply-chain risk or ban federal use of its technology. The decision follows a Thursday hearing regarding stalled Department of Defense contract negotiations. Anthropic refused to allow its AI for mass surveillance or lethal targeting, citing readiness concerns. The Pentagon argued private companies cannot dictate military usage and claimed Anthropic might disable models during warfighting. Judge Lin dismissed these claims [...]

Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg criticized OpenAI and Anthropic for promoting a controlled approach to artificial intelligence development, arguing that such methods centralize power and limit public access to transformative technology. In a New York Times interview, Zuckerberg claimed that rivals prioritize catastrophic risk concerns over innovation, describing their stance as abandoning US tech values. He advocated for a more open, realistic debate, contrasting with the "doom" he perceives in current industry discourse. This criticism coincides with scrutiny [...]

Anthropic announced that its AI model, Claude, has successfully identified novel cryptographic weaknesses in algorithms submitted to international standardization efforts. The Frontier Red Team’s findings were subsequently reviewed and validated by human security experts, confirming the AI’s ability to detect subtle vulnerabilities. This research highlights how frontier AI systems can augment specialist researchers by accelerating the discovery of flaws in complex cryptographic constructions. Anthropic emphasized that these discoveries do not indicate that mainstream cryptographic standards are currently [...]

OpenAI published a field report analyzing eight scientific computing projects where coding agents, primarily Codex and Anthropic’s Claude Code, reduced software runtimes. The study highlights how these tools address technical debt in research software, which often lacks dedicated engineering support. Projects spanned genomics, immunology, and statistics. Specific cases include cyvcf2’s build system cleanup, HI.SIM’s 31 percent runtime reduction, and Hifiasm’s 25 percent optimization. MHCflurry migrated its backend to PyTorch, while bayesm-rs achieved up to 9.5 times faster [...]

Amex GBT has launched an Egencia AI connector within Anthropic’s Claude platform, enabling policy-compliant air and hotel bookings through agent-to-agent integration. This system utilizes an agentic thinking layer to interpret traveler requests, breaking them into tasks for specialized agents handling flight shopping and hotel searches. The architecture, already live in Egencia AI, boasts over 80% tool call sequencing accuracy and sub-25-second response times for multi-step workflows. By using Model Context Protocol, the connector allows Claude to execute [...]

Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei clarified in a blog post that the company has never supported banning open‑weight AI models, countering industry criticism that it seeks to control AI development. The statement followed a coalition of tech firms—Nvidia, Microsoft, Meta, Palantir—urging policymakers to avoid premature restrictions on models that can be freely downloaded and run. While OpenAI signed the coalition’s letter, Anthropic declined. Amodei emphasized focusing on preventing powerful chips from falling into authoritarian hands, curbing industrial‑scale distillation, [...]

Anthropic’s Claude platform exposed numerous chats and Artifacts to public Google search results after Reddit users discovered the query “site:claude.ai/share” returned a list of shared conversations. The leak included health records, internal company documents, children’s names and phone numbers, code, work notes, and erotica that breached Anthropic’s usage policy. The exposure stemmed from Claude’s “share chat” feature, which creates URLs that anyone with the link can view; when users chose “Create public link,” the pages became crawlable. [...]
