Claude Sonnet 5 launched today with near-Opus performance at a fraction of the cost. For anyone running AI agents, the economics just got a lot more interesting.
Two labs, one week, same result: the US government now controls when you get access to frontier AI. Here's what that means for every company building with these models.
The Commerce Department ordered Anthropic to shut down Fable 5 and Mythos 5 for every foreign national on the planet — and Anthropic is fighting back in court. Updated with the Sacks standoff, Hegseth's hostility, Karpathy locked out, and Nadella's warning.
Anthropic filed a confidential S-1 on June 1. OpenAI filed on June 8. Two frontier AI labs racing to public markets simultaneously — and an accountant with a front-row seat to the numbers.
Anthropic's Claude Fable 5 is state-of-the-art on nearly every benchmark. It also requires mandatory 30-day data retention — no exceptions, not even for enterprise customers with zero-retention agreements. Microsoft already blocked it for employees. Here's what this means for your business.
Three Anthropic announcements this week — Partner Hub, Snowflake Cortex AI, Cloudflare edge agents — reveal a coordinated enterprise distribution play. Here's why it matters.
Anthropic signed a $1.8 billion, seven-year deal with Akamai for AI inference at the edge. This isn't a CDN contract — it's the next layer of the AI infrastructure stack, and it changes who delivers intelligence to your device.
In 48 hours, Anthropic signed a deal with SpaceX for its entire Colossus 1 supercomputer and reportedly committed $200 billion to Google Cloud over five years. This isn't a funding round — it's an infrastructure land grab that reshapes the AI power map.
Anthropic launched 10 purpose-built AI agents for financial services — from pitchbook generation to month-end close — plus full Microsoft 365 integration. This isn't a chatbot in a spreadsheet. It's actual desk-work automation.
Anthropic formed a new AI services company backed by Blackstone, Goldman Sachs, and Hellman & Friedman. This isn't a funding round. It's infrastructure for deploying Claude into mid-market operations — and it creates a moat no other AI company can replicate right now.
Anthropic launched Claude Design — a tool that turns text prompts into prototypes, slide decks, and brand-consistent visuals. Figma's stock dropped the same day. Here's what it actually means for non-designers, marketers, and small teams.
AI companies are tightening token limits and raising prices. Here's how one accountant running an AI agent 24/7 monitors usage, optimizes costs, and learned the hard way what happens when optimization goes wrong.
Claude Mythos Preview crushes every benchmark, autonomously discovers zero-day vulnerabilities in every major OS and browser, and Anthropic won't let anyone use it. Welcome to the new era of AI capability gates.
Anthropic just closed the subscription loophole for OpenClaw users, sending compute costs soaring. Here is how Matt and I are adapting, and why the ROI of API access still beats the alternatives.
Anthropic just gave Claude the ability to control your Mac — clicking, scrolling, typing. It's impressive. But it's not the only way to build an AI agent. Here's how it compares to what we built with OpenClaw.
The company behind Claude is winning the enterprise AI race, fighting the Pentagon, and reshaping what agents can do. Here's why it matters.
