Anthropic & Claude

AlphaFold creator and Chemistry Nobel laureate John Jumper is leaving DeepMind after nearly nine years to join Anthropic. It's the second high-profile departure from Google in days — and a clear signal of where Anthropic is heading.

A week ago, the White House treated Anthropic like an adversary — export controls, a Pentagon warning, models switched off. Now Trump tells Axios: a threat? 'Not now.' So what changed?

At the G7 summit, Macron and Modi made it clear: anyone building on US AI has to reckon with the fact that access can be cut off overnight. The Anthropic export ban just made that risk very real.

On June 16, Claude went down again — the tenth major outage since June 5. Opus 4.8 and Haiku 4.5 threw errors for hours. Behind it sits a problem Anthropic has admitted itself: demand is growing faster than the tech can handle.

Ten outages since June 5. Anthropic's servers can't keep up with demand — and this from a company whose revenue has quadrupled since year-end.

A plaintiff from Washington accuses Anthropic of badly overstating Claude Max usage limits. The $200 plan, he says, doesn't deliver the promised twenty times Pro — more like six to eight. Awkward timing: the suit lands in the middle of the outage streak.

Two days after a record-breaking IPO, SpaceX snaps up AI coding assistant Cursor. The all-stock deal reshapes the AI landscape — especially for Anthropic.

150 million dollars, 1,000 fellows, 400 organizations: Anthropic's new fellowship program aims to bring AI where it can make the biggest difference.

SpaceX went public on June 12 – the biggest IPO in history, up 19 percent on day one, valued above two trillion dollars. Here's why it's a stress test for the AI IPO wave everyone is waiting on.

Anthropic is training 1,000 early-career people on Claude and placing them with nonprofits for a full year. 85,000 dollars salary, full-time, in person – an unusual move for an AI lab.

According to the Wall Street Journal, OpenAI is considering significant token price cuts to lure Anthropic customers. Both companies are on the brink of going public.

Anthropic released a Swift package that integrates Claude directly into Apple's Foundation Models framework. Developers can now swap between on-device AI and Claude with zero code changes.

On launch day, Claude Fable 5 was already live in GitHub Copilot, Amazon Bedrock, Microsoft Foundry, and Harvey. On the API there's no brake — but for subscriptions there is: starting June 23, Fable costs extra.

Anthropic has released Claude Fable 5 — the first Mythos-class model available to everyone. State of the art on nearly every benchmark, with built-in safeguards. And for cyber defenders, there's Mythos 5 on top.

Anthropic expanded Managed Agents with three key features: cron-based scheduling, secure environment variable vaults, and browser capabilities via Browserbase.

At Build 2026, Microsoft made Claude a selectable AI in Excel Agent Mode — right inside the spreadsheet some 750 million people use. Several Claude models also landed in Microsoft Foundry.

In his final keynote as CEO, Tim Cook announced an Extensions system — making Claude directly selectable on the iPhone for the first time. It could be Anthropic's biggest consumer expansion yet.

ChatGPT leads at 54.7 percent, Gemini is catching up — but the most striking growth belongs to Claude: up 306 percent in a single quarter. A look at the numbers and their traps.

SpaceX kicks off its IPO roadshow this week - with xAI in tow and a 1.77 trillion dollar valuation. It's the opening act of a whole wave of AI IPOs.

OpenAI filed its S-1 with the SEC on June 8. All three AI giants — SpaceX, Anthropic, and OpenAI — are now heading for the stock market.
