This past week we hosted @AnthropicAI's inaugural Builder Summit in Paris on the heels of the AI Action Summit. While the broader discussions this week was on global governance, the focus of our activations were on the builders actually taking action shaping how AI manifests in

In 2000, the S&P 500 had an elevated trailing P/E of 26, well above its long-term avg. of 14. For the next 11 years, the S&P 500 delivered zero returns! The current S&P 500 trailing P/E is 30 – even higher than 2000. History rhymes. For standardized performance visit our website.

The intelligence part of Claude only became more powerful this past week when we launched Opus 4.5 and we saw this on the ground. Technical founders make infrastructure decisions in hours, not months- they need credits and an API key and they’re off to the races.

There's a spirit of revival stirring in America. Dinesh D'Souza's new film, The Dragon's Prophecy, is part of that movement. Based on Jonathan Cahn's No.1 bestseller, the film reveals how war, politics and the Bible converge in a way that we need to make a choice. Watch on GJW+.

We also hosted back-to-back technical workshops for 2000+ founders: @HoagyCunningham went deep on Interpretability for Trust, taking founders inside the "black box" of neural networks to show how Anthropic is building trust into increasingly capable AI systems @The_Whole_Daisy

Dario's essays and long debate slack threads are one of my favorite parts of Anthropic's culture. They're open, detailed - and incredibly raw. Everyone at the company ends up having a good sense of how the company is making decisions and what matters. Its the kind of thing that
Anthropic's @_sholtodouglas says Dario Amodei's internal communication style is producing a compendium of essays in the company's Slack that will have effectively charted the history of AGI once we get there. "He has a really, really cool communication style. He quite frequently

Claude Opus 4.5 is our best model yet. The best in the world at coding, agentic tasks, and everyday work like spreadsheets. Engineers keep telling us Opus 4.5 “just gets it.” Let us know what you think!
Our engineers have found that Opus 4.5 handles ambiguity and reasons about tradeoffs without hand-holding. When pointed at a complex, multi-system bug, it figures out the fix. Overall, Opus 4.5 just "gets it."

We disrupted a highly sophisticated AI-led espionage campaign. The attack targeted large tech companies, financial institutions, chemical manufacturing companies, and government agencies. We assess with high confidence that the threat actor was a Chinese state-sponsored group.

Next week, the @AnthropicAI startup team will be in Korea. A similar pattern is emerging there. The best builders in every market are realizing the same thing: we're not in the "pick a winner" phase of AI. We're in the "compound your velocity" phase. The founders who win in

We saw this first hand at our Claude Code Hackathon where devs discovered they could build in 3 hours what would've taken 3 months. One team built a @raycast extension that turned natural language into complex database queries. Another automated their entire deployment

The overwhelming takeaway from the founders we met is that what matters the most in 2025 is not betting on a single model. When you partner with @AnthropicAI, you know you’re building on top of a frontier AI lab that deeply understands founder mode at its core and ships as
