It’s well within Anthropic’s rights to compete in any market they choose. What’s funny, in this instance, are the number of Pharma companies, who through their unchecked use of Anthropic, are driving revenues into what they think is a model provider but is in fact a competitor lurking in the shadows thereby accelerating their own demise. I suspect any end market with reasonable ROCE that could be AI accelerated is on the table. If I were them, I’d probably do the same.



There’s been a lot of speculation about where we stand on open-weights models. We’ve outlined our views in full here: anthropic.com/news/position-…



I'm going to make a concrete prediction here. Open weights AI will prove to be genuinely dangerous and cause a bunch of disasters/be used for bad ends, which will vindicate everyone that warned about this possibility and discredit everyone else




All models are now 20% off for a limited time at Nous Portal, the best way to power your Hermes Agent. Yes, even the expensive frontier models. portal.nousresearch.com/signup

Hardest IR of my career: one narrow objective, endless parallel paths, machine speed. One takeaway, we fought back with open models, in the open. AI security won’t be solved by one company in secret. Open source puts these tools in every defender’s hands


AI agents are booking travel, signing into websites, and acting on your behalf. That creates a new security problem: until now, letting an agent log in meant exposing your credentials to the model. Today, with @AnthropicAI, we're changing that. 1Password for @claudeai lets Claude use your stored credentials to complete real-world tasks without your passwords or one-time codes ever reaching the model, its memory, or Anthropic's systems. You stay in control and approve which credentials an agent can use. 1Password handles authentication behind the scenes. Available now on Mac for business, family, and individual customers. bit.ly/4bLP5EJ

We analyzed Kimi K3 vs. Claude Fable 5 for software engineering tasks using DeepSWE. Kimi K3 gets you the same performance as Fable 5 at ~35% of the price, and it actually pulls ahead at higher pass@k's. More insights in the thread!
