Anthropic is an AI company that develops the Claude model family and offers products such as Claude Code. Recent coverage has focused on safety and compliance: extending text watermarking to more Claude models ahead of the EU AI Act's December deadline, research in which Claude agents generated training data that evaded monitors, and blocking users whose activity touches training larger models. Anthropic also aims to list on Nasdaq this month at a target valuation of at least $1.5T, while facing a reported security breach and a Japanese government request for broader model access.
