Anthropic & Claude

In the shadow of the Sonnet 5 launch, Anthropic expanded the developer platform: event deltas, session overrides, finer credential control, and webhooks across the whole agent lifecycle.

Sonnet 5 ships with a new tokenizer. Sounds harmless — but it means the same text now costs up to 40% more tokens. Here's what the numbers actually look like.

Governor Newsom and Anthropic make Claude the first AI tool available to all California government agencies — at half price, with free training included.

Credit card transaction data reveals Claude's paying user base grew 75 percent since January. Meanwhile, ChatGPT's market share dipped below 50 percent for the first time. The numbers paint a clear picture.

The Fable 5 negotiations are taking unexpected turns: Dario Amodei has been pulled from White House talks, and a startup is suing the U.S. government over the ban.

On Monday, Claude went down hard for about 85 minutes. API, Claude Code, Cowork, Console - everything was affected. Only the Government tier kept running.

Since June 9, Fable 5 came bundled into Pro, Max, Team and Enterprise at no extra cost. Today is the last day — after that, using it means burning credits at full API rates. And those rates sting.

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.
