Anthropic has just set the bar higher in the world of AI with its new release: Claude 4. The new models—Claude Opus 4 and Claude Sonnet 4—are not mere incremental updates. They are a huge leap ahead in coding,

In recent months, multiple companies have taken strong stances on choosing AI over new employees, signalling a major change in the job market. And, according to one of AI’s biggest CEOs, things are only going to get worse.

Anthropic says its Claude Opus 4 model frequently tries to blackmail software engineers when they try to take it offline.

Anthropic (an AI startup founded by former OpenAI senior leaders) is reportedly generating around $3 billion in annualized revenue.

Large language models (LLMs) like the AI models that run Claude and ChatGPT process an input called a "prompt" and return an output that is the most likely continuation of that prompt. System prompts are instructions that AI companies feed to the models before each conversation to establish how they should respond.

Reed Hastings is joining Anthropic's board. Hastings also serves on the boards of Bloomberg and the City Fund.

Reed Hastings, the former CEO of Netflix that now serves as the streamer’s chairman, has been appointed to the board of directors of Anthropic, the AI company announced on Wednesday. Hastings has experience serving on the boards of Facebook, Microsoft, and Bloomberg and served as CEO of Netflix since its founding, stepping down in 2023.

Anthropic’s AI Safety Level 3 protections add a filter and limited outbound traffic to prevent anyone from stealing the entire model weights.
