Buyer of the generator commitments
In late September, Anthropic agreed to pay about $3.4 billion for 1.7 gigawatts of heavy-duty gas-fired generators. The equipment had been ordered from Caterpillar roughly two years earlier by OnePWR Solutions, a San Antonio developer of behind-the-meter power plants. Anthropic took over the orders and the engineering and construction work needed to install them, but did not buy OnePWR itself.

Published FlashProve and its technical report under the Apache 2.0 license
When you call an AI model through an API, nothing in the reply proves which model produced it. A routing service could swap in a cheaper model, or an attacker could edit the token stream, and the output would look the same. On November 3, Anthropic published FlashProve, an open-source system that attaches a cryptographic proof to each reply.

As of May 2026: Primary competitor; gaining ground in enterprise
ChatGPT receives roughly a billion visits a month, and on May 5 those visitors began talking to a different model by default. OpenAI replaced GPT-5.3 Instant—the everyday workhorse it shipped earlier this year—with GPT-5.5 Instant, a faster system the company says produces 52.5% fewer hallucinated claims on medical, legal, and financial questions. The new model can also pull context from a user's past chats, uploaded files, and Gmail to personalize answers, and it appears in OpenAI's developer interface as 'chat-latest.'
As of May 2026: Reports near-100% internal AI code share via Claude Code
For most of computing's history, every line of production code at a major software company was typed by a human.

That share was 25 percent in October 2024.
As of May 2026: Developer of Mythos; restricting model access through Project Glasswing while managing Pentagon litigation
An AI model that can find software flaws no human has caught in nearly three decades has triggered a coordinated response from central banks across the Western world. Anthropic's Claude Mythos Preview discovered thousands of previously unknown vulnerabilities in every major operating system and web browser, prompting Treasury and Federal Reserve to summon Wall Street executives to Washington on April 8. By April 11, the Bank of England, Bank of Canada, and their respective financial regulators had convened or scheduled their own emergency sessions with banks.
As of May 2026: Navigating White House negotiations over government Mythos access while managing Pentagon blacklist dispute and EU regulatory exclusion
Anthropic built an AI model so capable at finding software vulnerabilities that it decided not to sell it. Claude Mythos Preview, announced April 7, autonomously discovered thousands of previously unknown security flaws in every major OS and web browser — including a remote crash bug in OpenBSD undetected since 1999. Rather than offering the model commercially, Anthropic restricted access to 12 major technology companies through Project Glasswing, backed by $100 million in usage credits.

As of May 2026: Released Claude Code Security in limited research preview, triggering cybersecurity stock sell-off
For decades, finding security flaws in software has required expensive human experts or pattern-matching tools that miss complex bugs. In five months, all three frontier artificial intelligence labs (OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google) released autonomous agents that read code like a human researcher, discover vulnerabilities traditional scanners miss, and generate patches. On March 6, 2026, OpenAI launched Codex Security in research preview, an agent that scanned 1.2 million code commits in its first month of beta testing and discovered 14 previously unknown vulnerabilities serious enough to receive formal identifiers in OpenSSH, Chromium, and PHP.
As of May 2026: Blacklisted from federal use; six-month phaseout underway; consumer growth surging
For decades, the United States military chose its weapons contractors and they complied, but artificial intelligence changed that.
