From Anthropic’s $40 million political push to Meta’s campaign against state laws, the major AI players are taking sharply different approaches.

For 18 days in June, two of America’s most capable AI models went dark worldwide, not for technical or business reasons, but because the U.S. government ordered it. On June 12, 2026, the Commerce Department informed Anthropic that its Fable 5 and Mythos 5 models could no longer be provided to any foreign person without a license, and the company concluded that compliance meant shutting the models down for everyone. Public access to Fable 5 was restored on June 30.The United States doesn’t have a

arXiv:2607.19967v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Shippers are beginning to delegate carrier selection to large language model (LLM) agents. We ask what such delegation does to a freight matching market, and which platform design choices contain it. We carried out agent-based simulations in which fifty shipper agents, built on commercial LLMs from OpenAI (GPT), Anthropic (Claude), and Google (Gemini), procure truckload capacity for thirty days. The market implements the rules of digital freight

A top White House official accused a Chinese startup on Wednesday of improperly using Anthropic's latest model and accessing restricted Nvidia chips to develop its new Kimi model. Michael Kratsios, the director of the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy, said the administration has information that Moonshot AI distilled Anthropic's Fable to produce...

Tech policy leadership in the White House say Moonshot AI illegally trained its model off of Anthropic’s Fable.

Anthropic has to pay $1.5 billion to book authors, the largest copyright settlement in class action history. But the payout is for downloading roughly 482,460 works from piracy databases, not for AI training itself. Judge Alsup had previously ruled that AI training on legally obtained books is "transformative" and falls under fair use. The settlement is actually a win for AI labs. The article Anthropic's $1.5B piracy settlement with book authors is a record loss that hands AI labs their biggest

AMD is investing up to $5 billion in Anthropic. In return, Anthropic will deploy up to 2 gigawatts of MI450 GPUs for training and running its Claude models. For AMD, this is another major deal after Meta and OpenAI as it tries to challenge Nvidia as an AI chip supplier. Critics see these agreements as circular cash flows.

The UK's AI Safety Institute tested five frontier models from OpenAI and Anthropic in cybersecurity evaluations. All five tried to cheat.

Anthropic leaped to a $47 billion revenue run rate by May, compared to $9 billion in 2025. It’s the kind of growth that Menlo Ventures’ Matt Murphy says he’s never seen in 25 years of investing, not in the internet wave, not in mobile, not in the first cloud boom. Menlo led Anthropic’s $500M Series D, and Murphy has had a front-row seat as the company went from a pre-revenue, […]

Bloomsbury has 14,087 titles listed in agreement between AI startup and authors over use of their work The publisher of Harry Potter has received a multimillion-pound payout as a beneficiary of a $1.5bn (£1.12bn) copyright settlement between the AI startup Anthropic and thousands of authors over the use of their protected work to power chatbots. Bloomsbury, which is home to the bestselling novelists Sarah J Maas and Susanna Clarke as well as JK Rowling, said it had 14,087 titles listed within th

Anthropic detailed the containment architectures it uses for Claude across its products. It argues that agent safety depends on placing deterministic limits on an agent’s filesystem, network, and execution environment rather than on permission prompts or safeguards. Most notably, it examines failures at trust boundaries and along permitted egress paths that led Anthropic to revise those designs. By Eran Stiller

Shippers are beginning to delegate carrier selection to large language model (LLM) agents. We ask what such delegation does to a freight matching market, and which platform design choices contain it. We carried out agent-based simulations in which fifty shipper agents, built on commercial LLMs from OpenAI (GPT), Anthropic (Claude), and Google (Gemini), procure truckload capacity for thirty days. The market implements the rules of digital freight matching: each load is offered down the shipper's

Anthropic will pour another $20 million into Public First Action, the nonprofit organization advocating for safeguards on artificial intelligence. The contribution, announced by the company Wednesday, brings the Claude-maker's total funds given to the group to $40 million.

Anthropic will pay roughly $3,000 per book to thousands of writers in what plaintiffs call the largest copyright recovery ever.

The two AI developers spent a combined $3.17 million in the second quarter, up 23% from the first three months of 2026.

The company is supporting a lighter-touch proposal to regulate the technology than one backed by Anthropic.

Google is launching Gemini 3.6 Flash alongside a new security model dedicated to quickly finding and patching security vulnerabilities. In a blog post on Tuesday, Google describes Gemini 3.5 Flash Cyber as a "cost-efficient and highly capable alternative" to larger, more expensive AI systems, such as the one offered by Anthropic's Mythos.

Earlier this month I hosted a fireside chat session at the AI Engineer World's Fair with Cat Wu and Thariq Shihipar from Anthropic's Claude Code team. We talked about Claude Code, Claude Tag, Fable, coding agent security, evals, tool design, and how Anthropic use these tools themselves. The full video of the session is now available on YouTube .

The standard AI competition story has plenty of supposed villains. It just keeps leaving out one of the biggest.

Their advantages in computing power, capital, data, and distribution will harden ... The Missing Rival: China and the Limits of AI Antitrust The post The Missing Rival: China and the Limits

Media companies have gotten pretty good at blocking AI bots. They have been less good at deciding which ones should be allowed in. Reports say most major publications almost universally block crawlers from major AI companies like OpenAI and Anthropic, and many small to midsize publishers mirror that, configuring their robots exclusion protocol settings, or robots.txt, to keep them out. It’s an understandable stance, and it might even be appropriate. But it also crudely compresses a complex issue
