Claude Corps is a national fellowship program launched to harness the potential of AI by training 1,000 fellows in using Claude AI and matching them with nonprofits across America, with a goal of extending AI benefits to communities and equipping host organizations with valuable tools. The program, backed by a $150 million commitment from Anthropic, involves partnerships with CodePath and Social Finance, providing fellows with training, a $85,000 salary, and mentoring, with the intent to create a foundation for widening AI's benefits during economic changes. Host organizations, such as Braven, Code the Dream, and Heartland Forward, will benefit from AI-driven tools and systems to advance their missions, focusing on enhancing operations, data analysis, and community impact. Applications for the fellowship, open to individuals with less than two years of work experience, aim to scale the program beyond 1,000 fellows and possibly replicate it internationally.

Claude Fable 5 and Claude Mythos 5 represent the latest advancements in AI models, with exceptional performance across software engineering, knowledge work, vision, scientific research, and cybersecurity. Released with significant safeguards to mitigate risks, especially in cybersecurity and biology, Fable 5 offers state-of-the-art capabilities, outperforming previous models on complex tasks. It is available at $10 per million input tokens and $50 per million output tokens, with access initially limited to certain tiers and projects. Mythos 5, designed for specialized users like cyberdefenders, lifts some safeguards and is part of Project Glasswing, developed in collaboration with the US government. The models' capabilities extend to accelerated drug design and novel scientific hypotheses, with a commitment to improving safeguards and reducing false positives. The launch aims to democratize advanced AI capabilities safely, with ongoing efforts to expand access through trusted programs while maintaining rigorous safety measures.

Anthropic has introduced a comprehensive AI Safety Framework aimed at guiding government measures to mitigate catastrophic risks posed by advanced AI models, advocating for legal authority to block dangerous deployments. The framework highlights the rapid advancement of AI capabilities, such as the discovery of critical software vulnerabilities, which increase the potential for significant harm without adequate regulation. It proposes that frontier AI developers must conduct transparency testing, submit to independent evaluations, and maintain robust security programs, with regulations targeting models developed by companies with substantial AI revenue or R&D spending. The framework addresses risks related to biological threats, cybersecurity, loss of control, and automated R&D, emphasizing the need for government involvement beyond transparency to ensure societal resilience. It suggests that federal laws should not override state regulations unless they match the proposed framework's strength, advocating a flexible regulatory approach that evolves with AI advancements. Anthropic stresses the urgency for policymakers to engage immediately, as AI capabilities are expected to progress rapidly, necessitating governance that keeps pace with technological developments.

The Claude Partner Network's Services Track and Partner Hub aim to streamline the process for enterprises integrating AI into production by collaborating with experienced partners. Launched with a $100 million investment for partner training, technical support, and marketing, the program has drawn over 40,000 applications and certified more than 10,000 consultants. Major firms like Accenture, Cognizant, Deloitte, KPMG, Infosys, and PwC are leveraging Claude to enhance their service offerings. The Services Track categorizes partners into three tiers—Select, Preferred, and Global Premier—based on their expertise and achievements with Claude, ensuring that customers can confidently choose firms equipped to meet their needs. The Partner Hub serves as a portal for partners to track their progress and for customers to find qualified partners, with daily updates on standings. The program emphasizes the distinction between building a practice and generating business for Anthropic, and it supports partners with scheduled promotions and access to new certifications.

A comprehensive analysis of AI-enabled cyber threats over a year reveals significant changes in the landscape of cyberattacks, showing that AI is making attackers more dangerous by allowing even less skilled actors to perform complex operations. The study examined 832 banned accounts for malicious activity and mapped them onto the MITRE ATT&CK framework, finding that AI is predominantly used for preparing cyberattacks, such as writing malware, and increasingly for sophisticated in-network activities like lateral movement and account discovery. The risk assessment of attackers has become more challenging, as traditional indicators like the number of techniques used or the platforms employed no longer reliably correlate with threat levels, due to AI's ability to perform complex tasks autonomously. The findings suggest that security frameworks need to evolve to capture these AI-enabled behaviors, as current models do not adequately encompass the orchestration and autonomy that AI brings to cyberattacks. The report highlights ongoing efforts to update security models and safeguard measures, as well as the need for defenders to stay ahead of these evolving threats by leveraging advanced tools and methodologies.

Anthropic, PBC has confidentially submitted a draft registration statement on Form S-1 to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) for a proposed initial public offering (IPO) of its common stock, which allows the company the option to go public after the SEC's review. The decision to proceed with the IPO will depend on market conditions and other factors, with details on the number of shares and pricing yet to be determined. This announcement, made under Rule 135 of the Securities Act of 1933, clarifies that it is not an offer or solicitation to buy or sell securities. Recently, Anthropic has also raised $65 billion in Series H funding, achieving a post-money valuation of $965 billion, with participation from investors like Altimeter Capital, Dragoneer, Greenoaks, and Sequoia Capital. Additionally, the company unveiled Claude Opus 4.8, an upgraded model with improved performance in coding, agentic tasks, and professional work, and opened a new office in Milan to support the Italian enterprise, research, and development sectors.

Project Glasswing is an initiative aimed at enhancing global software security by utilizing AI models to identify and address vulnerabilities in critical codebases. Initially launched with 50 partners, the project has now expanded to include approximately 150 new organizations across more than 15 countries, focusing on sectors such as power, water, healthcare, and communications. The initiative uses the Claude Mythos Preview model to scan for security flaws, and since its inception, partners have found over 10,000 high- or critical-severity vulnerabilities. By collaborating with industry players, open-source maintainers, and governments, Project Glasswing seeks to promote new cybersecurity norms and infrastructure to adapt to the evolving landscape of AI-driven cyber threats. This expansion aims to provide the software industry with better tools and infrastructure, helping cyberdefenders adapt to the rapidly changing threat landscape. Additionally, the project supports the development of new standards and practices for vulnerability disclosure and patching, with the ultimate goal of creating a permanent advantage for defenders in cybersecurity.
