Anthropic Launches Claude Sonnet 5.5: Faster, Cheaper and Built for Everyday Work

Anthropic has just added another player to the rapidly changing AI model race. Meet Claude Sonnet 5.5, a new version of Anthropic's mid-range AI model that the company says is more than 30% faster and can cost up to 30% less per task than Sonnet 5. And there is an interesting twist. Anthropic did not reduce the model's basic token price. Instead, Sonnet 5.5 is designed to get the same work done using fewer tokens and fewer steps.

Gemini Can Now Call Businesses for You And Handle the Conversation

Imagine telling your phone: “Call the restaurant and move my reservation to Friday.” Then putting your phone down. You do not wait on hold. You do not listen to endless “Press 1 for this, press 2 for that.” You do not explain the same thing three times. Instead, Gemini makes the call for you. Google is now testing a new feature called “Call for Me,”

OpenAI and Anthropic Want Australia to Change Its AI Copyright Rules

OpenAI and Anthropic are asking Australia for a way to train AI models on local creative content, but they know they have to bring creators along. The battle over AI and copyright has entered another round. This time, the action is in Australia, where two of the biggest names in artificial intelligence are asking the government to rethink how copyrighted material can be used to train AI models.

Anthropic Is Letting Accenture Inside to Test Its AI Models

What if the company building some of the world's most advanced AI systems invited outsiders to sit inside the lab and check whether everything is actually as safe as it claims? Anthropic is about to find out. The AI company has chosen Accenture as its first partner for a new approach called “embedded evaluation.” Through Accenture's AI business, Faculty, outside evaluators will work alongside Anthropic teams to examine its frontier AI models from the inside.

AI Hallucination Nearly Triggered a US Military Operation Against China

Imagine receiving an intelligence report saying a Chinese ship is carrying materials linked to a nuclear weapons programme. You do not have hours to debate it. You act. That is reportedly what nearly happened earlier this year. U.S. military aircraft were already in the air, and armed personnel were preparing to board a Chinese vessel in the Middle East when officials discovered something deeply concerning: The intelligence was wrong. And an AI chatbot had helped produce it.

Anthropic Is Building a Biology Lab And AI Is About to Get Hands-On

What happens when an AI company stops asking, “What does the model think?” and starts asking, “Can we test it in a real laboratory?” That is exactly where Anthropic appears to be heading. The company behind Claude has quietly established a wet biology lab in the San Francisco Bay Area, where it can carry out physical experiments rather than relying entirely on computer simulations.

Researchers Used Claude to Break Into OpenAI in Less Than 72 Hours

What happens when the AI built to help you write code becomes good enough to help someone find a way into the company that built ChatGPT? That is the question raised by a new cybersecurity disclosure involving Hacktron AI, Anthropic’s Claude and OpenAI. A three-person team of security researchers at Hacktron says it used Anthropic’s Claude models to discover and exploit a chain of vulnerabilities that eventually gave them access to OpenAI employee ChatGPT and Codex accounts

ChatGPT Co-Inventor Launches Jev, an AI Built to Make Decisions Instead of Chat

What if an AI did not need to write a single sentence to be useful? That is the idea behind Jev, a new AI model launched by Diogo Almeida, a former OpenAI researcher who says he helped develop the instruction-following methods that became part of the research behind ChatGPT. After two years working quietly on the project, Almeida has launched TypeSafe AI with a very different approach to artificial intelligence.

Trump Rejects AI Slowdown as US-China Race Intensifies

The AI world is asking one big question right now: Are we moving too fast? But US President Donald Trump appears to have a different priority: making sure China does not win the AI race. Speaking during a visit to Ireland on Sunday, Trump dismissed growing warnings about the dangers of rapidly developing artificial intelligence, arguing that some of the predictions are exaggerated.

US Accuses Chinese AI Firms of Stealing American AI Secrets

Imagine spending billions of dollars building some of the world's most powerful AI models only to discover that someone else may be repeatedly questioning your AI, collecting its answers, and using them to build a competing system. That is essentially the accusation now coming from the United States.
