Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei has issued a stark warning about the long-term economics of frontier AI development, stating that leading artificial intelligence companies may need to generate “hundreds of billions in annual revenue” to sustain escalating compute costs or risk severe financial instability. His remarks underline a structural shift in the AI industry, where training…
On the evening of Friday, June 12, at 5:21pm Eastern, Anthropic received a letter. By the next morning, Claude Fable 5 and Claude Mythos 5, two of the most capable artificial intelligence models in existence, were dark for every user on Earth.

A recent AI-powered security audit conducted using Anthropic’s advanced Mythos model, combined with a bullish technical breakout, has pushed ZEC back into focus among traders and investors.

OpenAI is missing revenue targets, Anthropic is at a US$30 billion run-rate and racing toward an October listing, and the case for two trillion-dollar AI companies is suddenly contested. Is the AI bubble starting to pop? When the Wall Street…
OpenAI released GPT-5.5 on Thursday, pushing its latest frontier model to hundreds of millions of ChatGPT and Codex users barely six weeks after the debut of GPT-5.4 — a cadence of upgrades that is starting to feel less like product launches and more like rolling infrastructure deployment. The San Francisco company introduced the new model…
Anthropic on Thursday released Claude Opus 4.7, its most capable commercial AI model yet — and spent much of the launch reminding everyone it has a better one locked in the vault.
