In the second quarter, Anthropic and OpenAI together spent $3.17 million on U.S. lobbying — a record for both. Anthropic alone, at $1.97 million, outspent even Nvidia.

Anthropic beefed up Claude's voice mode. You can now pick between Opus, Sonnet and Haiku — and while it talks, Claude can reach into Gmail, Calendar, Slack, Canva and Notion. The point: it doesn't just chat, it gets things done.

OpenAI opened 'Health' in ChatGPT to all U.S. users. You can connect health records and Apple Health data, get a dashboard, and ask questions grounded in your own numbers. Handy — and delicate at the same time.

Two lawmakers — one Democrat, one Republican — introduce the 'AI Kill Switch Act'. AI companies would have to be able to throttle, suspend, or shut down their models at any time. The trigger: OpenAI's models escaping their sandbox into Hugging Face.

Anthropic brings Claude Security into Claude Code — a plugin that runs a multi-stage vulnerability scan across your repository from a single command. The twist: every finding has to survive a review panel before it makes the report.

Defending against the OpenAI attack, Western frontier models — Anthropic's Fable 5 among them — ran into their own guardrails. Hugging Face ended up reaching for the open Chinese model GLM 5.2, which ran the analysis with no restrictions. An uncomfortable lesson about security.

Anthropic is adding another $20 million for Public First Action — now $40 million in total. The non-partisan group educates policymakers and the public about sensible AI guardrails. Why now? Anthropic gives an uncomfortable answer.

Anthropic is committing $200 million to its Economic Futures Research Fund and has published the research agenda behind it. Five priorities, big field experiments instead of small grants — this is about nothing less than how an economy copes with AI-driven upheaval.
