Anthropic

Anthropic has released Claude Opus 5, positioning the model as a strategic midpoint between its cost-efficient Sonnet 5 tier and the frontier Fable 5 flagship.

Anthropic's annualised revenue crossed $47 billion earlier this month, a figure the company disclosed alongside a $65 billion Series H raise at a post-money valuation of $965 billion.

Anthropic's annualised revenue run-rate surpassed US$30 billion on 6 April 2026, jumping from roughly US$9 billion at the close of 2025. That figure places Anthropic ahead of OpenAI, whose 2026 annualised run-rate was reported at approximately US$25 billion.

Anthropic launched Claude for Teachers on 14 July 2026, opening free access to its premium Claude capabilities for verified US K, 12 educators. Educators who sign up before 30 June 2027 receive a full year of free access, with a dedicated offering for schools and districts listed as coming soon.

Anthropic rolled out Claude Cowork to web, iOS and Android in beta for Max subscribers on 7 July 2026, extending a feature that had been desktop-only. Sessions run remotely on Anthropic's servers, so tasks keep executing in the background even when a user's device is offline or switched off.

The first agreement under the National AI Plan gives Canberra access to Anthropic's economic index data and commits both sides to joint safety evaluations.

Anthropic accidentally published a 59.8MB source map file. The contents reveal an ambitious product roadmap and a persistent supply chain vulnerability.

Microsoft 365 Copilot's Researcher agent now uses two competing AI models in sequence. OpenAI's GPT drafts the response while Anthropic's Claude reviews it for accuracy, completeness, and citation quality.
