Menlo has created a solid rep for itself as an AI investor, all based on one gutsy $750 million move in 2024.
Anthropic’s new Claude Tag brings an always-on AI teammate to Slack. But beyond productivity, the feature is a strategic play to capture organizational context, institutional knowledge, and enterprise workflows.
Claude's chatbot may ask to verify your age and identity "in certain circumstances," such as with a passport or driver's license, according to a privacy policy change.
The company warned about dangers of advanced AI far more than rival OpenAI.
Anthropic recently reported that Claude now handles around 95% of its internal analytics requests, letting employees query business data independently instead of relying on data teams. The company attributes this result less to advances in models and more to data governance, semantic definitions, and operational discipline. By Renato Losio
On the new episode of Equity, we discussed what actually prompted the administration's latest moves against Anthropic, and what this might mean for the AI ecosystem.

Anthropic’s Fable/Mythos shutdown is the first real model export-control shock The important AI story this week is not just that Anthropic launched bigger Claude models. It is that the US government then told Anthropic to switch two of them off for foreign nationals — and Anthropic says the practical answer was to disable them for customers while it works through compliance. That is a very different kind of platform risk than rate limits or pricing changes. If you are building on frontier models, model access can now move because of export-control decisions, safety claims, and geopolitical pressure. What happened Anthropic announced Claude Fable 5 and Claude Mythos 5 on June 9. Fable 5 was described as Anthropic’s most capable generally available model, with stronger performance across software engineering, knowledge work, vision, scientific research, and longer complex tasks. Mythos 5 was positioned above that: an upgrade to Claude Mythos Preview, with Anthropic calling out cyber-defence and life-sciences use cases. Three days later, Anthropic published a blunt update: the US government had issued an export-control directive requiring Anthropic to suspend all access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 by any foreign national, whether inside or outside the United States — including foreign-national Anthropic employees. Anthropic said the order arrived at 5:21pm ET on June 12, did not include detailed specifics, and that its understanding was that the government believed it had become aware of a jailbreaking method for Fable 5. Anthropic said access to other models was not affected, but the “net effect” was that it had to abruptly disable Fable 5 and Mythos 5 for customers to ensure compliance. Al Jazeera’s follow-up on June 19 frames the downstream effect clearly: allied countries and companies are now being forced to think harder about dependence on US frontier-model access. It also reports that Anthropic had granted roughly 200 institutions across 15 countries access to Claud
For the last 30 years, stopping the flow of cybersecurity-related software has proven to be ineffective. It's unclear why it would work now with Anthropic’s cybersecurity model Mythos.
Just as last week was ending, the US government forced Anthropic to pull its two newest models, Fable 5 and Mythos 5, citing national security concerns after Amazon researchers allegedly found a way to bypass Fable 5’s guardrails. Cybersecurity researchers have since signed an open letter calling the move dangerous, and Anthropic itself noted the same jailbreaks exist in other models. So is […]
Anthropic still can’t distribute Claude Mythos or Fable 5 after running afoul of the Trump administration. But no one can say exactly what the company did wrong.
Biggest AI firms will likely recoil at Bernie Sanders' AI wealth fund.
On today’s episode of Decoder, my guest is Hayden Field, senior AI reporter for The Verge. Often when Hayden comes on the show, it’s because something has gone wrong in the world of AI. Last weekend, that something was a pretty intense mix of Anthropic, the Trump administration, and Anthropic’s new AI model, Fable 5. […]
Days before Anthropic took its most advanced AI models offline, the White House ordered the company to revoke SK Telecom’s access to Claude Mythos over claims of alleged ties to China.
French President Macron and Indian PM Modi raised alarms at the G7 summit that the U.S. could cut off access to American AI overnight — a fear the Anthropic blackout just made real.
Anthropic has joined the Frontier coalition, which received another $915M in pledges to fund carbon removal projects.
Anthropic has spent much of this week fighting to get its newest AI models back online after the Trump administration abruptly ordered the company to cut access for all foreign nationals, including users inside the US and its own employees, forcing Anthropic to block access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 for everyone. "To my […]

Trump administration officials tell WIRED that if Anthropic wants to rerelease Fable 5, it will need to ensure the model's guardrails can't be circumvented. Security experts say that can't be done.
