Times of India | Anthropic employees refused to sell their shares, here's the one number that explains why AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information. Anthropic’s early‑year tender offer attracted up to $6 billion from investors but most employees declined to sell, leaving the secondary sale far short of its $350 billion valuation target. Within three months the firm sealed a fresh $30 billion financing round at a $900 billion valuation—nearly tripling its worth—after its annualized revenue run‑rate jumped from $19 billion in March to $30 billion in April and is poised to exceed $45 billion. Employees who held onto their equity avoided cashing out at the earlier valuation and instead stand to benefit from the rapid appreciation, which also signaled confidence in an imminent IPO slated for as early as October that could raise over $60 billion and push the company’s market value toward $1 trillion on the secondary market. The new round was co‑led by Dragoneer, Greenoaks, Sequoia Capital and Altimeter Capital, all of which also back rival OpenAI.

Observer | OpenAI CFO Sarah Friar and Anthropic’s Krishna Rao Are Racing For Compute Power by Alexandra Tremayne-Pengelly AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information. OpenAI CFO Sarah Friar and Anthropic CFO Krishna Rao, each about two years into their roles, are locked in a high‑stakes competition to secure the compute power needed for their companies’ rapid AI expansion. Both executives spend a large portion of their time negotiating chip deals—Anthropic relies on Nvidia GPUs, Google TPUs and Amazon’s Tranium, while OpenAI mixes Nvidia, AMD, Amazon, Broadcom‑built hardware and Cerebras systems—and balancing the risk of over‑investing in infrastructure against the danger of undersupplying customer demand. This capital‑intensive push has spurred massive fundraising: Anthropic closed a $750 million round at a $15 billion valuation and is eyeing a $30 billion raise that could value it near $900 billion, while OpenAI recently secured a twelve‑figure infusion and remains open to more capital. Revenues are soaring, with Anthropic’s run‑rate hitting $30 billion in April and OpenAI reporting $24 billion in annualized revenue, and both firms are planning high‑profile IPOs—Anthropic possibly by year‑end and OpenAI in the second half of 2026—underscoring compute as the key competitive advantage in the AI race.

US Top News and Analysis | AI-driven cyberattacks will start to be the 'new norm' in months, Palo Alto warns AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information. Palo Alto Networks technology chief Lee Klarich warned that businesses have only a three‑to‑five‑month window to strengthen their cybersecurity before AI‑driven exploits become the new norm. Emerging AI models such as Anthropic’s Mythos and OpenAI’s GPT‑5.5‑Cyber are making it easier for hackers to discover and weaponize unknown software vulnerabilities, prompting an urgent need for faster defensive measures, virtual patching, and industry‑wide innovation. Klarich said Palo Alto will soon roll out new capabilities to detect and mitigate these attacks and highlighted recent collaborations with firms like CrowdStrike, Amazon, Apple and JPMorgan to test and fix vulnerabilities before they are abused.

US Top News and Analysis | Google races to put Gemini at the center of Android before Apple’s AI reboot AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information. Google is using its latest Android rollout to embed Gemini, its new AI model, throughout the phone, browser, car, and laptop, turning the operating system into an “intelligence system.” Ahead of the Google I/O developer conference, the company previewed Android updates that let Gemini understand screen context, move across apps, and complete multi‑step tasks such as building shopping carts, booking reservations, or generating a barbecue menu and adding ingredients to an Instacart list. The AI acts as an agent rather than a simple chatbot, but it always returns to the user for confirmation before finalizing actions, keeping the human “in the loop.” The features will debut on the latest Samsung Galaxy and Pixel devices this summer and later expand to watches, cars, glasses, and laptops, with Android Auto receiving a Gemini‑powered redesign that includes a major maps update and in‑car task assistance. Google hopes this deeper AI integration will help it compete with OpenAI, Anthropic, and Apple’s upcoming “Apple Intelligence” initiative while maintaining user control over what Gemini can see and do.

US Top News and Analysis | OpenAI revenue chief Dresser says enterprise AI adoption is 'at a tipping point' AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information. OpenAI’s chief revenue officer, Denise Dresser, told CNBC that enterprise artificial‑intelligence adoption has reached a “tipping point,” prompting the launch of the OpenAI Deployment Company—a new venture designed to accelerate AI onboarding for businesses. The unit, announced alongside OpenAI’s acquisition of applied‑AI consulting firm Tomoro, brings roughly 150 engineers who will embed frontier AI models into clients’ workflows, working directly with users to integrate AI into back‑office applications and other processes. Backed by a partnership with 19 investment and consultancy firms—including Bain, Goldman Sachs and SoftBank—and majority‑owned by OpenAI, the Deployment Company aims to deliver AI solutions at speed and scale. Dresser’s comments come as rivals Anthropic and Google intensify competition for enterprise customers, with Anthropic recently forming its own $1.5 billion AI‑adoption fund alongside Goldman Sachs and Blackstone. Prior to joining OpenAI in December, Dresser served as CEO of Slack.

US Top News and Analysis | Alphabet's 160% rally in a year reflects value of owning 'most of the stack' in AI AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information. Alphabet’s shares have surged about 160 % over the past year as investors reward the company for owning “most of the AI stack”—from custom chips and models to cloud infrastructure and consumer platforms. After hours the stock briefly overtook Nvidia, and analysts now see Alphabet as a top tech pick thanks to a booming cloud backlog that jumped to roughly $462 billion (nearly doubling after its earnings report) and a massive $200 billion, five‑year Anthropic commitment that could represent over 40 % of future cloud revenue. While some warn of concentration risk—drawing parallels to Oracle’s backlog surge tied to OpenAI—others argue Google’s diversified AI assets, profitable custom silicon (TPUs), and expanding AI services (Gemini, DeepMind, Search, YouTube, Android) give it a durable advantage. The company’s market cap sits at about $4.8 trillion, second only to Nvidia, and it plans up to $190 billion in capital expenditures this year, making its ability to sustain growth and deliver on AI initiatives (e.g., at the upcoming I/O event) a key focus for investors.

After having worked half a day (my colleague spent even more time) trying to configure some reasonable secure settings for #claude we are surprised how buggy, broken in general shitty their permissions model and sandboxing is. It took us half a day to come up with a better working bubblewrap wrapper than they provided. You wouldn't guess that #Anthropic has billions at their disposel. At least it isn't my money. #llm

The Guardian | AI chatbot fraud: the ‘gift card’ subcription that may cost you dear by Shane Hickey AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information. Some users rely on AI chatbots like Claude for everyday tasks, but a growing scam involves fraudulent “gift‑card” subscriptions that charge victims large sums without their consent. David Duggan, who paid $20 a month for Claude, discovered unauthorized $200 purchases for gift‑card vouchers on his credit‑card statement; Anthropic, the company behind Claude, suspended his account but could not explain the charges. Similar reports on Reddit describe multiple unexpected payments in pounds and euros, with scammers sending the supposed vouchers to victims’ personal emails, suggesting possible email compromise. Anthropic says it is adding new safeguards to block fraudulent gift‑card purchases, canceling suspect subscriptions and issuing refunds, and advises affected users to contact support, cancel the compromised card, and file a charge‑back claim with their bank.

Times of India | Anthropic complained to the US government about CEO of the Chinese company who took stage at Nvidia's annual conference; and now US State Department ​has ordered ... AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information. Anthropic has lodged a formal complaint with the U.S. government, alleging that three Chinese AI firms—DeepSeek, Moonshot AI and MiniMax—used hundreds of fraudulent accounts to run industrial‑scale “distillation” campaigns that harvested the capabilities of Anthropic’s Claude chatbot for their own models. The complaint details over 16 million interactions, including more than 3.4 million exchanges by Moonshot AI, targeting agentic reasoning, coding, computer‑vision and tool‑use tasks. In response, a U.S. State Department cable has warned allied diplomats about the security risks of AI models derived from unauthorized extraction of U.S. proprietary technology, noting that such models can appear competitive on benchmarks while lacking full performance and security safeguards. The cable also highlights Moonshot AI’s CEO Zhilin Yang—who spoke at Nvidia’s GTC 2026—as a key figure in the alleged operations.

BBC News | Pentagon says US military to be an 'AI-first' fighting force AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information. The Pentagon announced that the U.S. military will become an “AI‑first” fighting force, expanding its use of artificial‑intelligence tools through new contracts with eight major tech companies—Google, OpenAI, Amazon, Microsoft, SpaceX, Oracle, Nvidia and the start‑up Reflection—while deliberately avoiding reliance on any single vendor. The agreements, which cover AI software and cloud services, are intended to accelerate the military’s transformation and give warfighters rapid, lawful operational capabilities, a shift that follows a dispute with Anthropic, which refused a “lawful use” clause and was labeled a supply‑chain risk, prompting the company to sue the government. The Pentagon said the diversified AI suite will help cut task timelines from months to days and strengthen national defense, while companies such as OpenAI, Google’s Gemini, Nvidia, and others will see their models deployed at classified levels for the first time.

Times of India | Pentagon signs classified AI deal that Google employees objected to with seven tech companies; Here’s the full list, as War Department says: These strategic partners share… AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information. The Pentagon announced on Friday that it has signed classified‑level agreements with seven leading artificial‑intelligence firms—SpaceX, OpenAI, Google, Nvidia, Reflection, Microsoft, and Amazon Web Services—to run their AI technologies on the department’s highest‑security Impact Level 6 and 7 networks, aiming to make the U.S. military an “AI‑first fighting force.” The contracts permit “lawful operational use” such as battlefield decision support, data synthesis, and intelligence analysis, while prohibiting domestic mass surveillance and autonomous weapons without human oversight; however, the companies have no veto over how the Pentagon deploys the tools. Notably, Anthropic, whose Claude model had previously been cleared for classified use, was excluded after refusing to accept blanket “any lawful use” language, leading the Pentagon to label it a “supply chain risk” and blacklist it. Google signed the deal despite an open letter from about 600 employees urging it to reject classified military work, echoing the 2018 Project Maven controversy. The article highlights the tension between tech firms’ internal dissent, government demand for advanced AI capabilities, and the ongoing legal battles surrounding Anthropic’s exclusion.

Anthropic x Blender take Hover or focus to reveal Sensitive
The #anthropic #blender deal is the first time I have seen this type of "drama" on the fediverse Here's my "take" on it: As long as AI does not becomd a default part of blender, this just means more money for blender. Unless I am misreading the releases the Claude connector is basically just a plugin which blender already has a bunch of right? From blenders release: (https://www.blender.org/archive/anthropic-joins-the-blender-development-fund-as-corporate-patron/) "This support will be dedicated towards Blender core development, to maintain and continuously improve foundational features like the Blender Python API, which enables developers and artists alike to extend and improve the software for custom workflows." From Anthropics article: (https://www.anthropic.com/news/claude-for-creative-work) "[The] [b]lender [connector] offers a natural-language interface to its Python API, allowing users to explore and understand complex setups and making it easier to access Blender’s documentation." I get how this could be the start of a process which would eventually lead to the enshitification of blender but while the AI is an optional plugin I think its okay?? If I misinterpreted something please let me know! -moppygone

Times of India | As ChatGPT and Claude remain banned in China, Goldman Sachs tells employees in Hong Kong: Do not use Anthropic AI models AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information. Goldman Sachs has prohibited its Hong Kong bankers from using Anthropic’s Claude AI models, following a recent loss of access to these tools on both direct and internal platforms. Citing a strict reading of its contract with Anthropic, the bank concluded that staff in Hong Kong should not use the vendor’s products, though the ban does not affect its relationships with other AI providers like OpenAI. The move reflects heightened US‑China tensions over AI, with mainland China already blocking models such as ChatGPT and Claude, while Hong Kong has largely remained exempt. Anthropic confirmed Claude was never officially supported in Hong Kong, and the restriction raises concerns that Hong Kong’s financial professionals may fall behind peers who retain access to advanced AI for coding, modeling, and automation, potentially impacting the city’s role as a regional financial hub.

US Top News and Analysis | Pentagon tech chief says Anthropic is still blacklisted, but Mythos is a separate issue AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information. Pentagon CTO Emil Michael told CNBC’s “Squawk Box” that Anthropic remains designated a supply‑chain risk for its Claude models, but the company’s newer “Mythos” AI—capable of finding and patching cyber vulnerabilities—constitutes a separate national‑security concern that will require additional network hardening and negotiable guardrails. The DOD’s blacklisting, announced earlier this year, forces defense contractors to certify they do not use Claude, while Anthropic has sued to overturn the label. Despite the designation, the Pentagon has continued to use Anthropic’s technology in the Iran war effort and the NSA is reportedly employing Mythos. At the same time, the department has signed agreements with seven other AI firms—including Google, OpenAI, Nvidia, Microsoft, Amazon Web Services, SpaceX’s xAI and the startup Reflection—to deploy their models on classified networks, and officials say discussions with Anthropic’s CEO have been “productive,” with President Trump suggesting a possible deal.

qwant news | REPORT: Anthropic Closing In On Full-Building Lease In Hudson Square AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information. Anthropic, the San Francisco‑based AI firm behind Claude and Mythos, is on the verge of signing a lease for the entire 466,000‑square‑foot building at 330 Hudson St. in Manhattan’s Hudson Square, a property currently partially occupied by the Financial Times and managed by AEW Capital. The deal would allow Anthropic to gradually occupy the space, as some subleases run through September 2028, and follows its recent 16,000‑square‑foot lease at 155 Sixth Ave. that may expire this year. Valued at $380 billion in February and potentially heading toward a $900 billion valuation in an upcoming funding round, Anthropic has been rapidly expanding its office footprint, recently adding significant leases in San Francisco and other Manhattan locations, joining a broader trend of AI companies securing large amounts of office space for future growth.

qwant news | White House fights Anthropic's plan to expand Mythos tool that experts fear could cause AI doomsday AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information. The White House is pushing back against Anthropic’s proposal to widen access to its powerful Claude Mythos AI tool, warning that expanding the rollout from the current handful of government users to an additional 70 companies—bringing the total to 120 under “Project Glasswing” with firms such as Amazon, Google and JPMorgan—poses serious security risks. Anthropic itself has warned that Mythos could be used to hack electric grids, power plants and hospitals, and recent reports say a few users have already breached the system. Trump‑administration officials also doubt Anthropic has enough computing capacity to serve both the government and the new corporate clients, and the White House is wary after the Pentagon terminated Anthropic’s contract earlier this year over concerns about unrestricted AI use. Meetings between Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei and White House officials aim to balance innovation with safety, while the company continues to grant early access to security researchers and strike deals with major tech firms to increase its compute resources.
