Anthropic partners with UST to deploy Claude in physical AI systems and robotics applications.

The AI firm Anthropic has developed a technique that has given it the clearest glimpse yet at what’s really going on inside large language models as they answer questions or carry out tasks. What they found ranges from the mundane to the unnerving. Researchers at the company built a tool called the Jacobian lens (or…

OpenAI releases GPT-5.6 family (Luna, Terra, Sol) with tiered pricing; claims superior agentic performance vs. Claude Opus/Fable on benchmarks.

Claude’s new Reflect dashboard doesn’t just visualize how you use AI. It also subtly reinforces how much of your daily work now depends on Anthropic’s chatbot.

The popularity of Spotify Wrapped has kicked off a wide range of year-in-review features, on apps from YouTube to Uber - and now, the lookback trend has come to AI. Anthropic on Thursday announced a "reflect" feature for its Claude chatbot, allowing users to see an analysis of their usage data over the past month, three months, six months, or year. Anthropic bills the reflection dashboard as a way to "see your patterns and shape them," the company wrote in a blog post. It begins with a summary of an individual's key topics brought up with Claude, as well as types of tasks they delegate and th...

Anthropic ships usage tracking and reflection feature for Claude, enabling users to monitor API/app consumption patterns.

When it comes to achieving artificial general intelligence (AGI), large language models just don’t have what it takes. Models like ChatGPT and Claude are great at text, but they’re less skilled at understanding how things actually move through space and time — an essential skill for producing intelligence that generalizes. That gap, it turns out, might be filled by gaming data. That’s the bet behind General Intuition, a […]

Starting Tuesday, Anthropic's Claude Cowork AI platform will be available on mobile and web for the first time. The expanded access is rolling out first to Max subscribers and coming to Claude users on other plans "in the coming weeks." Claude Cowork was previously only accessible through the Claude desktop app for macOS and Windows, but now users on iOS and Android can also use it. However, Anthropic says the "full experience" for Cowork will still be on the desktop app, including features like local file access. Cowork sessions will also now run in the cloud by default, so you can continue ...

Anthropic’s Claude Cowork is now available on web and mobile for Max subscribers. Until now, Cowork largely lived on a user’s laptop. With the update, users can start a task from their desk, get status updates on their phone, and pick up the finished output later — even if their laptop is closed.

Fanfiction communities are trying to hunt down writers who haven’t written works with their own hands. | Image: Álvaro Bernis / The Verge Over the past week, a new fanworks movement has kicked off, with the aim to root out authors using generative AI. But the detection methods being implemented are questionable, and any fanfic writer could be caught in the crossfire. Broad distaste around the use of Claude, ChatGPT, and other AI tools has long been a thing in creative communities, including the world of fanfiction. Readers and writers have passed around tips for spotting supposedly AI-generat...

Simon Willison reports Anthropic's Claude Code team recommends letting Fable/Opus apply autonomous judgment on tasks like testing rather than prescribing workflows.

At the event "The Briefing: AI for Science" earlier this week, Anthropic announced Claude Science, a new "AI workbench for scientists" that pulls fragmented tools and datasets into one environment, and generates figures and visuals. Anthropic, already dominating the industry with its popular coding tools and powerful AI models, framed the launch around what it says is AI's potential to "dramatically accelerate the pace of scientific discovery and the development of healthcare interventions," and touted a long list of biotech and pharma customers already using Claude. Anthropic also went a ste...

Comparative evaluation of frontier LLMs (GPT, Claude Opus, Gemini, GLM) for automated Linux/bash exam grading using cognitive taxonomy.

Ben Guez has "a bunch of potential international wives in [his] DMs," thanks to an automated script he set up using OpenClaw, Claude code, and Instagram trials.

Let’s start with a game. Open up your chatbot of choice—Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini—and type “Give me a random number between 1 and 10.” You’re going to get 7. Almost always. Now type “Another” and you’ll get 3 or 4. Type “Another” again and you’ll get 8 or 9. That won’t work every time—but if it…

Zero-shot benchmark evaluates Claude, GPT-5.4, and Gemini on fine-grained 13-class emotion classification.

After weeks of negotiating with the Trump administration, Anthropic is finally going to be able to bring Claude Fable 5 back online. In a post on X, Anthropic said it plans to begin restoring access tomorrow. Anthropic: We've received notice that the Department of Commerce has lifted export controls on Claude Fable 5 and Mythos 5. We'll begin restoring access tomorrow, and will share an update soon. We're grateful to our users for their patience, and to everyone who worked with us on redeploying the models. In early June, Anthropic sidelined Fable 5 - its consumer-facing model built the same ...

At an event for pharmaceutical executives, biotech founders, and researchers on Tuesday, Anthropic announced Claude Science, a major new product intended to support scientific research in the same way that Claude Code supports software engineering. Like Claude Code, Claude Science can autonomously carry out meaningful work when given concise, high-level instructions, and it has access…
