Anthropic

London-based Nscale's amended IPO prospectus, filed November 12, says it placed large GPU and equipment orders to manage price, allocation and delay-penalty risk under its up to $44.6 billion Anthropic agreements, that some of those commitments cannot be deferred, reduced or cancelled, and that it will need additional financing to meet forecast 2027 obligations. Preliminary, unaudited estimates show a $1.69 billion net loss on $307.5 million of revenue for the nine months to September 30 and total debt of about $5.5 billion, up from $79 million at the end of 2025. No offering size or price range has been set.

Anthropic released self-hosted Claude Managed Agents in private beta on November 12. Customers run the agent harness, sandboxes, credentials and session history in their own cloud or on-premises, operating the server, its database and the workers, and send model requests to Anthropic, Amazon Bedrock, Google's Agent Platform, Microsoft Foundry or their own gateway. Claude itself does not run inside the customer's network. Access is by request through Anthropic account teams, and The Next Web reports that some hosted features, such as webhooks and scheduled runs, are missing.

Irreplaceable Education Fund, Public Citizen, Heat Initiative and The Alliance for Secure AI filed suit on November 12 in San Francisco Superior Court against Anthropic, Google, Meta, OpenAI and xAI. Invoking California's Unfair Competition Law and a public-nuisance theory, they ask the court to bar the companies from developing or deploying AI systems more capable than their current most advanced models. The complaint leans on the companies' own warnings about catastrophic risk and on past incidents involving AI agents. The claims are allegations, and the defendants had not responded when the suit was reported.

Anthropic launched Claude Meetings in beta on November 10, letting Claude join Google Meet calls as a visible participant that drafts plans, maps timelines and answers questions while people talk, for Team and Enterprise plans. It also released Claude Sheets and Claude Whiteboards in beta on paid plans, made Claude Data (formerly Claude Dashboards) generally available, and let partner apps such as Adobe, Atlassian and HubSpot open inside Claude. Sheets ships with basic functions: no pivot tables, a 100,000-cell limit, and no HIPAA or zero-data-retention support yet.

Adobe previewed local Model Context Protocol integrations at its MAX conference on November 10 that would let third-party AI agents, from providers including OpenAI, Google and Anthropic, work directly in native Photoshop, Illustrator, Premiere and After Effects files on a user's computer; a private beta is due in early 2027. It also previewed always-on background agents and added Plan Mode and a model selector to its Firefly AI Assistant beta. Most agent features are in beta or preview.

Australia's government said on November 10 it will legislate mandatory safety and security obligations for all frontier AI companies that want to operate in the country, enforced by a new AI safety regulator able to impose significant penalties. Labs would have to allow independent evaluation of their models, report incidents rapidly and publish safety frameworks. The government also accepted 18 recommendations from its review of the June OpenAI agent breach, including exploring criminal penalties. No penalty figures, start date or draft bill have been released.

Updated Nov. 13: Anthropic's IPO has drawn about six times as many orders as shares available, Bloomberg News reported on November 12, citing people familiar with the matter, and bankers told prospective investors existing backers will be prioritised. Anthropic will price the offering on November 18 and start trading as ANT on November 19, Yahoo Finance and Reuters report, two days after Nvidia's first results since Jensen Huang resigned. Earlier: Anthropic launched the roadshow on November 10, offering 825 million Class A shares at $70 to $78, about $1.4 trillion fully diluted at the top, with seven chip and cloud suppliers buying $26 billion of stock at the IPO price; its roadshow video says its Mythos model ported Claude to AMD chips in three days.

Security firm Apiiro says Claude Code can save an approved shell command word for word, including any password or token in it, to .claude/settings.local.json when a user picks 'Yes, and don't ask again.' It found 1,122 public GitHub copies of that file holding 1,379 distinct secrets, and says common scanners missed some. Claude Code's Boris Cherny said on Hacker News the team is looking into prevention, Ars Technica reported on November 9. Apiiro did not test whether the secrets still work.

Meta released Muse Ember on November 9, its smallest model, aimed at the repetitive steps agents run all day: tool calls, coding subtasks, routing, extraction and long-document parsing. It lists at $0.10 input and $0.50 output per million tokens, the same starting rates as Claude Haiku 5.5 and GPT-6 Luna. Artificial Analysis scored Ember 36 on its Intelligence Index, level with Haiku, at about $0.14 per task against $0.41, partly because Ember used fewer output tokens. Weights and size are not public.

Anthropic released Claude Fable 5.2 and Claude Mythos 5.2 on November 9, the same underlying model behind two gates: Fable for all users with cyber and biology classifiers, Mythos for vetted cybersecurity and life-sciences organisations. Both cost $8/$40 per million tokens, which CNBC puts at 20% below 5.1. Anthropic says it limited the model's kernel-optimisation and architecture-research skills to about Opus 5.5's level. Its benchmark wins are its own; Cisco and IBM said they will build Mythos into security products.

Some banks that weeks ago were lining up to fund AI deals are now reluctant to finance more, even when deals are backstopped by companies such as Anthropic and Google, Reuters reported on November 9, citing several unnamed banking and credit sources. Lenders are stress-testing cash flows and scrutinising when big tech customers can cut or end commitments, after a selloff that pushed the Nasdaq 100 into a correction. Anthropic and Google declined to comment.

Anthropic struck a deal worth about $3.4 billion for 1.7 gigawatts of gas-fired generators in late September, taking over orders that Texas supplier OnePWR Solutions had already placed rather than buying the company, the Financial Times reported on November 8. Data Center Dynamics says the orders are for Caterpillar units expected within two years. Anthropic and OnePWR did not comment, and Reuters could not verify the report.

Anthropic has added a security center, in beta, that compares an organization's Claude settings with Anthropic's recommended configuration and can export a report. Inference hooks — prompt hooks and pre-tool-call hooks that send prompts and tool calls to a customer's existing data-loss-prevention and security tools — are now generally available. Other additions, several of them still in beta, include a parent-level admin console at admin.claude.com, Admin API member sign-out, a self-serve IP allowlist, Claude Desktop controls aimed at shadow IT, and an endpoint-detection sensor that can run inside the local Cowork virtual machine in detection mode.

METR's November 5 public assessment, after an August 12–October 29 high-access review, says Anthropic is likely improving capabilities on well-specified tasks at around twice the March 2024–October 2025 rate, with a subjective range of about 1.3× to 3×. Scores on AECI, Anthropic's version of the Epoch Capabilities Index, grew at an estimated 1.9× the pre-October 2025 rate (95% confidence interval 1.5–2.8×). METR says the acceleration was not from faster training-compute scaling and guesses that about 80% of the current acceleration is due to AI use, mainly assistance rather than fully autonomous R&D. Anthropic redacted a majority of the evidence METR found most informative.

Anthropic is rolling out Personal Finance in Claude this week as a US beta for Pro, Max and Ultra: users connect bank and card accounts through Plaid and ask spending questions in natural language. Access is read-only — Claude cannot move, manage or invest money — and hub chats are not used for model training. TechCrunch notes ChatGPT launched a similar finance experience in May.

Forever Security researcher Gal Weizman told The Register that any browser extension able to control claude.ai could use Claude Dispatch to make Claude Desktop run code, including on another computer signed into the same account. He says Anthropic acknowledged the report in May, closed it as a duplicate and said it would retire Dispatch by the end of October; the feature was still listed as available on October 30. Anthropic did not respond to The Register.

Cat Wu, who led product for Anthropic's Claude Code, said on November 5 that she is joining OpenAI to lead product management for its Core Products team, the group behind Codex. OpenAI confirmed the hire to Business Insider and said she will report to Thibault Sottiaux. Wu left Anthropic last week; Anthropic declined to comment.

Apple lowered the daily AI spending cap for some engineers to $200 from $300 last month and plans further cuts for some teams to as little as $100 a day, Bloomberg reported on November 4, citing people familiar with the change. Groups outside engineering already capped at $100 could go to $25, and staff can ask senior leaders for exemptions. Apple has not confirmed the report.

Anthropic signed a content and data licensing deal with the Associated Press just before the US midterm elections, letting Claude show attributed AP election updates on Election Night, two people familiar with the matter told Adweek. It is the first time Anthropic has paid a digital news publisher for content, Adweek says. Neither company has confirmed the deal, and terms were not disclosed.

Revolut says it cut its AI coding inference costs by roughly 90% in under a year by making self-hosted Z.ai GLM models, now GLM-5.3 on 56 Nvidia B200 GPUs, the default for about 2,000 engineers instead of relying mainly on services like Claude Code, The Register reported. Its infrastructure lead said cheap tokens led engineers to hand debugging and ticket work to AI. Commercial models remain for vision and other exceptions.

TeraWulf said on November 4 that Google signed credit support agreements behind about $19 billion of Anthropic leases at its Hawesville, Kentucky campus, to help TeraWulf raise project debt. Its 8-K says that if Anthropic misses rent or becomes insolvent, Google can pay the rent and take over the lease or pay a termination fee. The backstop ends once Anthropic holds investment-grade ratings for three months. TeraWulf also signed Fluor to build three buildings.

Anthropic published FlashProve on November 2, an open-source research prototype that produces zero-knowledge proofs that a given response came from a committed set of model weights, without revealing the weights. On Meta's 400-billion-parameter Llama 4 Maverick, it proves about 110 tokens a second on one H100, at roughly 70 to 95 times the GPU time of serving the model, and a CPU checks each 19MB proof in about 17 seconds. Anthropic says Claude produced the system's improvements.

Goldman Sachs has limited AI coding tools including Anthropic's Claude Code and Microsoft's GitHub to its engineers, Bloomberg reported on November 2, citing internal guidance updated in October. Some traders had been using the tools for work such as monitoring client trading flows. A Goldman spokesperson cited 'a variety of factors including productivity and risk management' and said the experimentation phase is over.

Anthropic released message threads in beta on November 2. The Claude API keeps a conversation on the server, so long-running agents send only new messages on each request. Anthropic says the wait for a first token fell about 35% on requests of 500,000 to 1M tokens, but prices and rate limits are unchanged. Threads expire five minutes after the last request and are not eligible for zero data retention or HIPAA setups.
