Anthropic is acquiring Stainless an SDK and MCP server platform that has powered every Anthropic SDK since the earliest days of our API. Read more: https://lnkd.in/gBZUtzKQ

On May 15, we're hosting a live demo of Claude for the legal industry. We'll walk through contract review, redlining, drafting, and research, plus how to build Skills in Claude that capture your team's precedents. Tune in tomorrow at 10am PT / 1pm ET: https://lnkd.in/d5RgEm4Q

We’re partnering with the Gates Foundation. We’re committing $200 million in grants, Claude credits, and technical support to programs in global health, life sciences, education, agriculture, and economic mobility. This work includes accelerating vaccine and therapy development for diseases like polio and HPV, improving disease forecasting for malaria and tuberculosis, and building literacy and career tools for students in the US, sub-Saharan Africa, and India.

Claude's Constitution is now an audiobook, read by two of its authors: Amanda Askell and Joe Carlsmith. It includes a Q&A on the philosophies that shaped the document, the writing process, and how it might change as models become more capable.

Code for America is proud to announce that we’re officially partnering with AI leader Anthropic to improve public benefits administration through the responsible use of AI. Together, we’re creating Claude-based tools to help government caseworkers better administer public benefits. Thank you to Anthropic for believing in this work as we continue to support the responsible adoption of AI in government and a future of government AI-use that is efficient, effective, and people-centered.

New Anthropic research: Natural Language Autoencoders. Models like Claude talk in words but think in numbers. The numbers—called activations—encode Claude’s thoughts, but not in a language we can read. Here, we train Claude to translate its activations into human-readable text.

We’re donating Petri, our open-source alignment tool, to Meridian Labs, so its development can continue independently. Working with Meridian Labs, we’ve also released a major update that improves the adaptability, realism, and depth of Petri’s tests. https://lnkd.in/eAVjp2TH

We’ve agreed to a partnership with SpaceX that will substantially increase our compute capacity. This, along with our other recent compute deals, means that we’ve been able to increase our usage limits for Claude Code and the Claude API. Effective today, we are: 1) Doubling Claude Code’s 5-hour rate limits for Pro, Max, and Team plans; 2) Removing the peak hours limit reduction on Claude Code for Pro and Max plans; and 3) Substantially raising our API rate limits for Opus models. Our agreement with SpaceX means we will use all the compute capacity at their Colossus 1 data center. This will give us over 300 megawatts of additional capacity to deploy within the month.

How do people seek guidance from Claude? We looked at 1M conversations using our privacy-preserving tool to understand what questions people ask, how Claude responds, and where it slips into sycophancy. We used what we found to improve how we trained Opus 4.7 and Mythos Preview. Read more: https://lnkd.in/g3WVGy99
