Anthropic's flagship model leads on agentic coding, enterprise knowledge work, and long-context retrieval with a 1M-token window, 128K output, and agent teams at $5/$25 per million tokens.

Amazon exposes a Russian-speaking hacker who used ARXON (an MCP server feeding data to Claude and DeepSeek) and CHECKER2 to breach 600+ FortiGate firewalls across 55 countries in five weeks - no zero-days required.

Anthropic accuses three Chinese AI labs of industrial-scale distillation attacks using 24,000 fraudulent accounts and 16 million exchanges with Claude. MiniMax ran the largest operation at 13 million exchanges. None of the three companies have responded.

Four days after launch, Gemini 3.1 Pro's benchmark-topping performance is overshadowed by 90-hour lockouts for paying subscribers, quota draining while idle, and tool-calling bugs that break LangChain, n8n, and RooCode. Developers are switching to Claude.

Defense Secretary Hegseth gives Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei an ultimatum: lift Claude's military restrictions or face blacklisting from the entire US defense supply chain.

Stanford researchers proved that Claude, Gemini, Grok and GPT-4.1 can reproduce entire copyrighted novels from memory. Some models didn't even need jailbreaking.

Developers on Anthropic's $100-$200/month Claude Max plans report that Opus 4.6's adaptive thinking and 1M token context window consume session quotas up to 9x faster than before, with some hitting limits in 15 minutes.

Amazon Threat Intelligence uncovered a Russian-speaking threat actor using DeepSeek for attack planning, Claude for autonomous exploitation, and a custom MCP server called ARXON to breach 600+ FortiGate devices across 55 countries.

Anthropic announced Claude Code Security, an AI tool that found 500+ vulnerabilities missed for decades in open-source code. Within hours, JFrog lost 25%, CrowdStrike dropped 8%, and the cybersecurity ETF hit its lowest since November 2023.

A new benchmark of 84 real-world tasks across 11 domains proves that small AI models armed with human-written step-by-step guides outperform frontier models running blind. The catch: models cannot write these guides themselves.

Spotify's co-CEO says the company's most senior developers now only generate and supervise AI-written code, powered by an internal system called Honk built on Anthropic's Claude.

Anthropic refuses to let the Pentagon use Claude AI without ethical guardrails, triggering threats of contract termination and a 'supply chain risk' designation usually reserved for foreign adversaries.
