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

New Anthropic research: Project Deal. We created a marketplace for employees in our San Francisco office, with one big twist. We tasked Claude with buying, selling and negotiating on our colleagues’ behalf. We wanted to learn what future markets with AI “agents” on both sides might look like—and what pitfalls society will need to watch out for.

We're expanding our partnership with Amazon to secure up to 5 gigawatts of new compute for training and deploying Claude. Capacity begins coming online this quarter, with nearly 1 gigawatt expected by the end of 2026. Our more than $100 billion commitment to AWS over the next decade will help us keep Claude at the frontier and meet growing demand, including from the more than 100,000 customers running Claude on AWS. Amazon is also investing an additional $5 billion in Anthropic today, with up to $20 billion more in the future. Read more: https://lnkd.in/gKUHn4NP

Introducing Claude Opus 4.7, our most capable Opus model yet. It handles long-running tasks with more rigor, follows instructions more precisely, and verifies its own outputs before reporting back. You can hand off your hardest work with less supervision. It also has substantially better vision. It can see images at more than three times the resolution and produces higher-quality interfaces, slides, and docs as a result. Claude Opus 4.7 is available today on claude.ai, the Claude Platform, and all major cloud platforms. Read more: https://lnkd.in/etWzCcdq
