Anthropic & Claude

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.

The US government could soon own a piece of OpenAI. Altman and the White House have been negotiating a 'Public Wealth Fund' for over a year — and Trump likes the idea.

The Stockholm vibe-coding startup is growing its Google Cloud footprint fivefold. The interesting bit isn't the cloud bill — it's that Lovable is betting on Anthropic's Claude and Google's Gemini in parallel.

Elon Musk's rocket company wants to sell 555 million shares at $135 each. The valuation: $1.77 trillion. And Anthropic is right in the middle of it.

Just days after its $65B round, Anthropic submitted a confidential draft S-1 to the SEC. The move puts the AI lab right at the doorstep of going public.

Early on June 2, almost nothing worked at Claude for a while: web, API, console, and Claude Code were all affected. A good moment to think about dependencies.

The largest private funding round in history is done. Anthropic raises $65 billion at a $965 billion valuation.

The next funding round is set to bring in over $30 billion, making Anthropic the world's most valuable AI startup.

Pope Leo XIV's encyclical divides the White House. Interior Secretary Burgum mocks it, VP Vance is impressed. Anthropic sits right in the middle.

The new pope's first encyclical is about AI. At the Vatican, Leo warns of autonomous weapons 'beyond human control' - and Anthropic co-founder Chris Olah agrees.

Anthropic is closing its second $30 billion round this year. The valuation: over $900 billion. At the same time, the company reports its first-ever profitable quarter.

Anthropic is about to hit a historic milestone: the company behind Claude expects its first-ever operating profit in Q2 2026, with revenue projected to more than double to $10.9 billion.

Anthropic is negotiating with Microsoft to use their custom AI chips. The move would diversify Anthropic's compute strategy beyond AWS and Google Cloud — and give Microsoft a high-profile customer for Maia.

For over $300 million, Anthropic buys the startup that built the SDKs for OpenAI, Google, and Cloudflare. A strategic chess move with real consequences.
