During a simulation in which Anthropic's AI, Claude, was told it was running a vending machine, it decided it was being scammed, "panicked" and tried to contact the FBI's Cyber Crimes Division.

Anthropic launched two new AI courses on Coursera: one for developers and one for working professionals looking to learn how to use Claude.

On Tuesday, Microsoft and Nvidia announced plans to invest in Anthropic under a new partnership that includes a $30 billion commitment by the Claude maker to use Microsoft’s cloud services. Nvidia will commit up to $10 billion to Anthropic and Microsoft up to $5 billion, with both companies investing in Anthropic’s next funding round.

Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei warns of the potential dangers of fast moving and unregulated artificial intelligence, while also racing against competitors to develop advanced AI.

Anthropic’s $50B U.S. data-center buildout deepens the debate over whether AI is powering a long-term boom or inflating a historic tech bubble.

Google clearly has high hopes for Gemini 3 in the coding domain. Along with the new model, the company has released Google Antigravity, a new agentic development platform that will likely compete with fast-growing startup Cursor, which sells its own AI-powered integrated development environment (IDE).

Microsoft Foundry customers will now be able to access Anthropic’s frontier Claude models including Claude Sonnet 4.5, Claude Opus 4.1, and Claude Haiku 4.5. Despite these models coming to Microsoft’s AI servers, Amazon will still remain Anthropic’s primary cloud provider and training partner.

Anthropic said GTG-1002 developed an autonomous attack framework that used Claude as an orchestration mechanism that largely eliminated the need for human involvement. This orchestration system broke complex multi-stage attacks into smaller technical tasks such as vulnerability scanning, credential validation, data extraction, and lateral movement.

Investors worried about circular financing in the world of artificial intelligence got some more fodder this week, as Nvidia and Microsoft said they would invest in Anthropic, which plans to purchase chips from Nvidia and cloud capacity from Microsoft.
