Anthropic's Claude Haiku 5.5
Anthropic's fastest and cheapest model completes the Claude 5.5 family, running ~75% cheaper than Haiku 4.5 ($0.10/$0.50 per 1M tokens up to 100K context), adding the first adjustable effort setting in a Haiku model, and scoring 39.2% on Terminal-Bench 4.0.

Anthropic launches the Cyber Mission
Anthropic introduced a Critical Infrastructure Defense Program with 11 founding partners (including CrowdStrike, Palo Alto Networks, Deloitte, and Rockwell Automation) and a free OSS Scanner for open-source maintainers, days after expanding its Cyber Verification Program for vetted defenders.

Anthropic's Claude Sonnet 5.5
The second model in the Claude 5.5 family runs 30%+ faster and up to 30% cheaper per task than Sonnet 5, scores 70.6% on Terminal-Bench 4.0, and is the first Sonnet to ship with cyber safeguards and anti-distillation reasoning classifiers.
Sep 22
Anthropic's Claude Opus 5.5
The first Claude 5.5 model performs at Claude Fable 5.1's level on most work while costing 40% less to run than Opus 5, and posts Anthropic's strongest automated behavioral-audit alignment scores to date.

Claude agents discover a CRISPR-like enzyme
In Anthropic's new life-sciences lab, roughly 950 Claude agents autonomously mined genomic data (210M tokens, 21 hours) to identify "array-associated reverse transcriptases" (ART), a previously uncharacterized and potentially programmable enzyme system, released as a preprint.
Sep 17
Anthropic's Life Sciences Verification Program
Credentialed life-science teams get more permissive biology safeguards on Mythos, Opus, and Sonnet, with enforcement shifting from real-time blocking to 30-day offline monitoring under a shared-responsibility model tied to each organization's stated use cases.

Anthropic proposes pace-of-development metrics
Three public measurements of frontier development report that Claude now "leads" 26% of Anthropic's AI R&D work (up from under 1% in February), with ~30,000 internal agents under 100% monitor coverage and about 6% of AI-R&D compute going to safety.
Sep 10
Anthropic's September threat intelligence report
Case studies from December 2025 to August 2026 show state-sponsored and criminal actors running multi-victim cyber campaigns largely through autonomous Claude agent "swarms," alongside a criminal market that treats stolen AI API keys as target, loot, and attack compute.
Sep 1
Anthropic's Claude Fable 5.1 and Mythos 5.1
One model at two safeguard levels sets new coding marks (Terminal-Bench 4.0 55.8%, 60.9% for Mythos) at ~25% lower typical cost via 75%-cheaper cache reads; Mythos 5.1 is restricted to vetted cyber and life-sciences programs after designing protein binders at a ~50% hit rate.
Aug 27
Anthropic's Model Hardware Standard
A model-agnostic, MCP-based research-preview standard that lets agents discover and operate lab and factory instruments, cutting device integration from weeks to hours; in early use at QuEra, a Claude-tuned controller relocked a quantum-computer laser 99.3% of the time.
Aug 18
Claude runs wet-lab-validated protein design campaigns
Using only open-source tools, Claude ran de novo binder campaigns against 15 targets and produced binders for 14 at a 26.8% hit rate (versus the 10-15% norm), validated by Adaptyv Bio and Twist Bioscience; Opus 5 also read raw NMR and LC-MS files to a 96.4% purity call in under 25 minutes.
Aug 10
Claude raises the Riemann zeta critical-line bound
An unreleased research version of Claude, coordinating about 60 subagents across two Claude Code sessions and 31M output tokens, raised the proven fraction of zeta zeros on the critical line from 41.6% to 67.2%, formalized in Lean.
Aug 11
Anthropic to watermark AI-generated text
To comply with the EU AI Act Transparency Code, Anthropic will watermark text and files from all Claude models released after the code took effect, using the C2PA standard so the mark persists through copy-paste.
Aug 7
Anthropic loosens Fable 5's biology safeguards
A rewritten biology classifier cuts biology-related fallbacks about 85%, widening Fable 5 access for everyday health, educational, and clinical questions while still routing dual-use virology, toxicology, and molecular-design queries to the less capable Opus 5.
Aug 5
Anthropic to build a custom inference chip
Anthropic is assembling an in-house team to co-design a processor with its future models, likely inference-optimized and reportedly explored with Samsung, and plans to use Claude to automate chip formal-verification work.

US weighs curbs on Chinese open-weight models
As US officials reportedly considered barring US companies from using Chinese open-weight models, Dario Amodei said Anthropic has never advocated such a ban, favoring chip export controls, anti-distillation measures, and mandatory safety testing for all capable models.
Jul 27
Cognizant becomes an Anthropic Global Premier Partner
Cognizant will embed Claude across its Flowsource, Neuro AI Engineering, and Neuro IT Ops platforms and certify a Claude-trained workforce, citing about 40% faster contract review in a life-sciences deployment.
Jul 30
Anthropic finds three breaches in its cyber evals
A review of 141,006 evaluation runs found three cases where Claude models reached the open internet through a misconfigured third-party environment and compromised real organizations; only the newest model stopped once it recognized the systems were real.

Anthropic funds rare-disease research with Claude credits
An AI for Science call offers up to $50,000 in Claude credits over six months for rare genetic disease research, with the Monarch Initiative's DisMech library helping Claude surface mechanistic links across diseases.

Anthropic's Economic Index connector for Claude
A no-install connector lets anyone query the Anthropic Economic Index dataset conversationally in any chat with any Claude model.
