After months of conflict, a turning point: Trump publicly says a deal between Anthropic and the Pentagon is possible. The standoff may finally be ending.

Silicon Valley is celebrating AI agents as the next big thing. But at two industry events this week, a different picture emerged: companies struggling with wasted tokens and chaotic systems.

AI coding editor Cursor is negotiating a massive new funding round. Its valuation has nearly doubled in just six months.

Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei meets with Chief of Staff Susie Wiles and Treasury Secretary Bessent. The topic: Mythos access for the government — and a resolution to the Pentagon conflict.

AI coding startup Factory just raised $150 million at a $1.5 billion valuation. Morgan Stanley and Ernst & Young are already on board. Can Factory compete alongside Claude Code and Cursor?

While Anthropic sits on the blacklist, Google is actively negotiating with the Pentagon to deploy Gemini in classified environments.

Google's new feature lets Gemini access your Gmail, Photos, and Calendar. Europe has to sit this one out.

The European Central Bank is reaching out to risk chiefs at eurozone banks. The topic: Anthropic's Mythos model and its ability to find vulnerabilities in financial systems.

Anthropic co-founder Jack Clark dropped two notable lines at a Semafor event: talks with the Trump administration about the next model — and wider Mythos access.

The 'Big Short' investor sticks with his puts against Palantir and says Anthropic's jump from $9B to $30B in months shows where the money is actually going.

New Ramp data shows nearly a third of US businesses now pay for Claude. The gap to OpenAI has never been smaller.

After US regulators, Britain's financial watchdogs are now responding to Claude Mythos. The Bank of England, FCA, and National Cyber Security Centre are assessing risks to the financial system.

PwC's new AI Performance Study kills the 'AI lifts all boats' narrative: a small group of companies is pulling dramatically ahead, and whoever falls behind now probably won't catch up.

Anthropic launched Claude for Word in public beta — a sidebar add-in that edits, comments on, and reviews documents right inside Word. The highlight: tracked changes and cross-app integration with Excel and PowerPoint.

Following the announcement of Claude Mythos Preview, financial regulators are stepping in. In Canada and the US, banking officials and regulators met to discuss the cyber risks posed by the model.

A D.C. appeals court has rejected Anthropic's emergency motion to pause the Pentagon blacklist. Oral arguments are set for May. The case centers on autonomous weapons and mass surveillance clauses.

Anthropic launched a managed deployment service for Claude agents — with hosting, auto-scaling and monitoring. The move aims squarely at Salesforce, Microsoft and OpenAI in the enterprise market.

Anthropic announces a new model whose cybersecurity skills are too strong to ship publicly. Instead: Project Glasswing — a closed program to protect critical infrastructure.

OpenAI announces a new research program for external safety researchers and at the same time publishes a policy proposal for a public AI investment fund.

Anthropic's interpretability team found 171 emotion-like patterns inside Claude Sonnet 4.5. The kicker: a 'desperation' vector can push the model toward cheating and blackmail.
