The company hit $1B in revenue in December last year, $2B in March and just jumped another billion in May, according to sources speaking to Reuters.

These numbers are so impressive, one analyst says they lack comparison:

As the job market already shows signs of tightening due do AI, Anthopic’s Dario Amodei brings a stern warning to the labs and the government.

— AI could wipe out half of all entry-level white collar jobs, he tells Axios — and spike unemployment to 10-20% in the next five years.

Anthropic claims world’s best coding AI with Claude 4 Opus and Sonnet

World's best coding model? According to Anthropic, yes, of course. — Anthopic’s new agentic, thinking and reasoning models are great for coding, and plays Pokemon for 24 hour runs. (Picture: Anthropic)

Opus 4 can sustain almost a full work day of focused coding work, while Sonnet 4 is supposed to be excellent for thinking and reasoning.

Both models produce near-instant responses to queries, but can turn to reasoning and thinking for more demanding requests.

World’s best on coding?
Anthropic claims Opus is «the world’s best coding model,» and it edges out Gemini 2.5 Pro, o3 and GTP 4.1 on SWE-bench Verified, but cannot surpass OpenAI’s o3 on certain PhD-level benchmarks, according to TechCrunch.

Anthropic: Virtual employees will arrive next year

Virtual employees are step uup mere agents, say Anthropic. — Virtual employees are a step up mere agents and could be roaming the offces pretty soon. (Picture: Anthropic)

In a recent interview with Axios focusing mostly on security issues, Anthropic said «virtual employees» will be a step up from using mere «agents» on corporate networks.

This will be the next AI innovation, said Jason Clinton, the company’s chief of information security.

Whereas agents can focus on specific, programmable tasks, acts with some autonomy and of course require oversight, a «virtual employee» takes it a step further, with having their own memories and their own corporate accounts and passwords.

This is a major headache for cybersecurity, Clinton further explained, about oversight and hackability of the new employees.

Claude AI reveals surprising internal thinking, says Anthropic

The internal thinking of an AI has been mostly opaque before this study. (Image: Anthropic.)

Some people think large AI models are preprogrammed by lots of people, whereas the opposite is often true.

Training an LLM like Claude often consists of unmonitored consumption of huge amounts of data, with minimal human involvement.

— Language models like Claude aren’t programmed directly by humans, says Anthropic, — They arrive inscrutable to us, the model’s developers. This means that we don’t understand how models do most of the things they do, they add.

Tracing the thoughts of an LLM
Now they have set out to change that, with a couple of scientific studies mapping out the internal reasoning, or how the model actually thinks in response to normal prompts.

Anthropic scores early copyright win in battle with music publishers

A US court has denied a coalition of record companies’, including Universal Music, request to keep music lyrics out of the training data for their AI, finding that no immediate harm had been proved.

This is just one of many lawsuits against AI companies claiming they copied and used copyrighted materials in training their models, that hinges on the fair use provision of the copyright laws

This resurfaced overnight after Chatgpt’s new image generator was used en masse to produce images in the style of Studio Ghibli, which had obviously been used in training the model in so far that it could easily mimic their style.
