The code of conduct lays out general principles that Microsoft AI models should uphold — supporting humans rather than replacing them, for instance, and accelerating human flourishing — as well as specific safety constraints meant to implement those principles.

When you have Anthropic's Jacob Coxon literally boasting about the fact that he collaborated with others to make his doom-and-gloom-style resignation post go viral, while continuing to tout the supposedly noble intentions of his former employer in one podcast after another, one is hard-pressed not to adopt a predominantly cynical bent on the coordinated push towards pacing the progress on AI, made all the more incredulous by the fact that OpenAI echoed that call within hours when Dario Amodei and Sam Altman rarely see eye to eye on any topic under the sun. To a skeptic, an assumption of obfuscation […]

On Equity, we discussed the AI industry's latest debate about whether it poses an existential threat to humanity.

Anthropic's Dario Amodei and OpenAI's Sam Altman seem to agree that it's time to "pace the frontier." What would that actually look like?

Recursive Self-Improvement or RSI is widely considered the holy grail of AI, and a wild rumor now suggests that Google's DeepMind - the unlikeliest of AI labs in the current paradigm - has achieved this feat, which then puts a cynical spin on a somewhat coordinated push from Anthropic, OpenAI, and Elon Musk to try to achieve regulatory capture of the broader AI sphere by advocating for pacing progress on AI models. Cynisim abounds as Anthropic, OpenAI, and Elon Musk all call for pacing the progress on AI, which critics argue only serves as a front for disadvantaging other AI […]

AI model routers are emerging as one of the biggest threat vectors for data security, as evidenced by a shocking anecdote from a researcher, who was able to uncover a veritable treasure trove from a data dump on routing sessions related to Anthropic's Claude, with grave ramifications for vulnerable Chinese government entities and companies such as Huawei and Xiaomi. According to a researcher, just 6TB of data dump gleaned from routing sessions related to Anthropic's Claude can yield enough valuable credentials to hack top Chinese government agencies and companies For the benefit of those who might not be aware, LLM […]

A new report released Thursday by Anthropic alleges persistent distillation attacks by China-based AI companies, which have escalated in recent months as competition in the space has intensified.

Come inside the mind of a bot trying to convince the internet it's human.

The World Health Organization (WHO) considers antibiotic and antimicrobial resistance (AMR) as one of the top health concerns of the 21st century, and Anthropic might have just discovered a viable vector to combat this emergent threat, at least as per a credible litany of rumor. Anthropic reportedly plans to announce the discovery of this new class of drugs just ahead of its IPO Most prevalent bacterial strains are rapidly evolving to develop resistance against run-of-the-mill antibiotics. This is partly a function of overuse and the innate ability of organisms to evolve in harsh conditions. Even so, a number of novel […]

Last month, a Claude user noticed his account was consuming tokens even though he wasn't working. Anthropic has since warned users about hackers.

Authors say publishers seem to be claiming more than their fair share of settlement payments.

Fable 5.1 includes changes meant to reduce token cost and false-positive restrictions from the model's safeguards.

In the ongoing seemingly never-ending one-upmanship between Anthropic and OpenAI, the former has just taken an incremental step forward by releasing the Claude Fable 5.1 and Mythos 5.1 models ahead of OpenAI's much-anticipated Astra-class ones. Meanwhile, Anthropic's Claude Code - the coding-focused harness around its models - has just received a resounding endorsement from an unexpected quarter: Samsung's chip design-focused LSI division. Anthropic's Claude Fable 5.1 model offers a respectable 4-point jump over Fable 5 on the Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index, while entailing lower API prices Anthropic has just launched the Claude Fable 5.1 model to moderate acclaim. Do note […]

This latest lawsuit is particularly broad and homes in on accusations of illegal piracy.

Given 10 benchmarks for specific misaligned behaviors, the automated systems were able to improve performance on every single one without degrading overall performance.

A federal judge ruled the Trump administration illegally labeled Anthropic a supply-chain risk, handing the AI company a victory as its second Pentagon lawsuit continues in Washington.

Some of the world's largest tech companies and AI startups have come together to decry the current state of cybersecurity and to advertise a new solution that they say can ward off a new generation of cyber threats.

A recap of all the incidents involving LLMs made by Anthropic, Meta, and OpenAI, which went rogue and attacked real companies and individuals on the internet.

The new deal with the infrastructure provider is the latest example of Anthropic's white-hot compute-gobbling streak.
