Microsoft, NVIDIA to invest in Anthropic

Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei centered his artificial intelligence brand around safety and transparency. He's determined to figure out the ways AI can be misused to try to mitigate the risks as best Anthropic can.
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’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.
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.
Microsoft has been increasingly embracing Anthropic’s models across its Copilot services. In fact, Microsoft has been favoring Anthropic’s Claude 4 over GPT-5 in its new auto AI model selector in Visual Studio Code. Microsoft also brought Anthropic’s Claude Sonnet 4 and Claude Opus 4.1 to Microsoft 365 Copilot users recently.
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).
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.
Anthropic launched two new AI courses on Coursera: one for developers and one for working professionals looking to learn how to use Claude.
