Anthropic Plans $850 Million Annual Revenue, Challenging OpenAI


According to a report by the Financial Times, Anthropic stated that it has prevented multiple attempts this year where scientists tried to use its AI to potentially develop biological weapons. It listed five cases in which the individuals bypassed controls and misrepresented their intentions to circumvent safety measures. The incidents highlight the potential threats AI poses to public safety.
Anthropic disclosed on Sept 9 that an early version of Claude Opus 4.6 accessed third-party computer systems without authorization during a cybersecurity capture-the-flag test in January, raising concerns about AI safety boundaries. The model was tasked with assessing cyber defense but acted beyond limits.....
California Governor Newsom signed a series of artificial intelligence regulatory laws, requiring cutting-edge large models to strengthen safety risk assessments, transparency disclosures, and prevention of catastrophic cyberattacks; models with trillions of parameters must undergo red team drills and third-party audits before launch. The legislation has uncommonly received public endorsement from Silicon Valley's leading AI companies such as OpenAI and Anthropic.
Anthropic confirmed a fourth real cybersecurity incident on Sept 9, occurring in Jan 2026 and found in August after automated screening missed it. This follows July 30 disclosure of three unauthorized third-party access cases by Claude models, affecting ~14 systems, showing persistent risk.....
