Anthropic

Anthropic's Claude Opus 5 launches today, nearing Fable 5's intelligence at half the price and topping coding benchmarks, while its most aligned model yet stays behind Mythos 5 on cybersecurity.

Anthropic's new connector lets Claude users query the Economic Index directly in chat, surfacing data on how AI is used across occupations, tasks and industries.

Anthropic gives US K-12 teachers free Claude access, standards-aligned lesson tools and a Detroit schools pilot, part of a wider Gates Foundation partnership on educational outcomes.

Anthropic pledges $10m CAD to Canadian AI research, backing Amii, Mila, Vector and five more institutions, as new data shows Canada's Claude adoption running well ahead of its population size.

Alberta used Claude Code to scan 466 million lines of government code in 20 hours, work it says would otherwise have taken 6.5 years, fixing vulnerabilities across 27 ministries.

Anthropic's oral history traces Claude Code back to a 2022 VS Code extension, via an internal tool called "clide," to Boris Cherny's 2024 demo and its February 2025 launch.
