Anthropic announced Claude Opus 4.8, an upgrade to its flagship model that it says improves benchmarks, honesty, and collaboration while maintaining the same price. The release also introduces effort controls for claude.ai, dynamic workflows in Claude Code, and cheaper fast-mode pricing, according to Anthropic News.

Anthropic announced Project Glasswing, a coalition including AWS, Apple, Google, Microsoft, and others, to use its unreleased Claude Mythos Preview model for defensive cybersecurity. The initiative aims to address the dual-use risk of advanced AI vulnerability-discovery capabilities by finding and fixing flaws in critical software before malicious actors can exploit them.
Anthropic interviewed 80,508 Claude users across 159 countries and 70 languages using an AI interviewer to understand their aspirations and concerns for artificial intelligence. The study found that respondents most often want AI to support professional excellence, personal transformation, and life management, while simultaneously holding multiple fears about the technology's impact.
