With its 'Inviting hard questions' campaign, Anthropic asks the public for its toughest questions about AI — on jobs, families, safety, science. And it promises to publicly track what the company does about them.
Former Fed chair and Nobel laureate Ben Bernanke is the newest member of Anthropic's Long-Term Benefit Trust — the independent body meant to hold the company to its mission. An unusual name for an unusual structure.
As of July 9, 'Reflect' is live in beta — a kind of 'Claude Wrapped' that shows you when and what you use Claude for. It comes with quiet hours, break nudges, and one question that sticks: what do you want to keep doing yourself, even if Claude could do it faster?
The July update to VS Code brings a small but practical change for Claude users: multiple parallel chats within a single agent-host session. Sounds unremarkable — but it changes how you work with the agent.
Two fresh case studies put Claude Cowork to work in the real world: Anthropic's own marketing team automates weekly reporting, and Thomson Reuters builds 'fiduciary-grade AI' for lawyers. Both rely on a checker agent that verifies every number.
The new Claude Code version closes a tricky gap: in auto mode, tampering with session transcripts is now blocked. Plus fixes for Windows worktrees and background agents.
Anthropic brings Claude Code and Claude Cowork to the public beta of Claude for Government Desktop — in a FedRAMP High environment, with local history storage and hard spending caps.
