TL;DR: Anthropic refused to sign a contract with the Pentagon that would have allowed the U.S. military to use all of its models without restrictions. Anthropic insisted on an exception, and brace yourself, that its models cannot be used: 1) for mass surveillance of citizens, 2) for autonomous killing. Now the administration is threatening that if the founder of Anthropic doesn't change his mind by a certain date, they will come after him.
Google, OpenAI, and Musk (Grok) have all signed the contract.
Following Sam Altman's announcement over the past few hours, people have been speaking out massively about cancelling their OpenAI subscriptions and subscribing to Claude.
Claude Code now dispatches a team of agents on every PR to catch bugs that skims miss. Available in research preview for Team and Enterprise. It is an AI-powered multi-agent code review that analyzes every pull request like an expert team. It detects bugs, security issues, and hidden logic flaws in AI-generated code, verifies findings to reduce false positives, and delivers high-signal feedback before code reaches production.
New AI models pop up every week. Some developer tools like @Cursor, @Zed, and @Kilo Code let you choose between different models, while more opinionated products like @Amp and @Tonkotsu default to 1 model.
Curious what the community recommends for coding tasks? Any preferences?
A couple weeks ago, Boris Cherny (the creator of Claude Code) shared a bunch of really useful tips on getting the most out of Claude Code. #1 at the top of the list: do more in parallel. He himself runs 10-15 Claude codes in parallel.
His advice and practice makes sense: coding agents give us the ability scale infinitely. At this point, the only real limiter is our own ability to manage all of these agents.
Transfer your preferences, projects, and context from other AI providers into Claude. With one copy-paste, Claude updates its memory and picks up right where you left off. Memory is available on all paid plans. Switch without losing what makes your AI useful.
Claude works alongside you in PowerPoint — building slides, making pinpoint edits, and iterating on your deck in real time. Claude reads your layouts, fonts, and slide masters so every change stays on-brand and on-template. Claude in PowerPoint is now available on the Pro plan. It also now supports live data connectors, bringing context from your daily tools directly into your slides.
Stop hunting through nested formulas to understand your own model.
Claude in Excel reads your entire workbook; tabs, dependencies, everything and explains, edits, and debugs it in real time.
Cell-level citations.
Formula integrity intact.
Zero disruption.
Claude Sonnet 4.6 is a full upgrade across coding, computer use, long-context reasoning, agent planning, knowledge work, and design. It also features a 1M token context window in beta. Sonnet 4.6 has improved on benchmarks across the board. It approaches Opus-level intelligence at a price point that makes it practical for far more tasks. It also shows a major improvement in computer use skills.
Cowork turns Claude into a real coworker. Give it access to a folder on your computer and assign tasks instead of chatting. Claude can read, edit, and create files, plan its work, and execute tasks end-to-end while keeping you in control. Less back-and-forth, more work done.
