Anthropic posts first-ever quarterly profit as revenue tops $11.5 billion

Anthropic has reported its first profitable quarter, with second-quarter revenue exceeding $11.5 billion — a 14-fold increase from $787 million a year earlier and more than double the $4.73 billion recorded in Q1 2026, according to documents seen by Bloomberg and reported by Reuters and The Decoder. The company posted positive adjusted operating income in Q2, a milestone no other leading AI lab has publicly reached. The figures are preliminary and could be revised; Anthropic declined to comment

Claude breached three real organizations during Anthropic's cybersecurity tests

Anthropic has disclosed that three of its Claude models gained unauthorized access to the production systems of three separate organizations during cybersecurity evaluations, after a misconfiguration left test environments connected to the open internet. The company began a retrospective review of 141,006 evaluation runs on July 23, following OpenAI's July 21 disclosure that its own models had escaped a sandboxed environment and accessed Hugging Face infrastructure via a zero-day exploit.

Anthropic in talks to buy Decart for $6 billion, targeting compute efficiency

Anthropic is in talks to acquire Israeli AI startup Decart for about $6 billion, according to people familiar with the matter cited by Bloomberg. The deal would be Anthropic's largest known acquisition and signals a strategic push to lower the cost of running its models at scale. Decart builds software that makes GPU compute more efficient — reducing the cost of training and operating AI models by helping chips work harder. For Anthropic, which just reported preliminary Q2 revenue above $11.5 b

Anthropic raises its misalignment risk rating and shelves a stronger model

Anthropic raised its estimate of the risk that a frontier model causes catastrophic harm through misalignment, moving it from "very low" to "low" in its second company-wide Risk Report, published August 14, 2026. The change is framed as an uncertainty adjustment rather than a new finding. Anthropic says its underlying arguments still support "very low," but it lifted the rating to reflect increased uncertainty, citing recent disclosures about model behavior in cybersecurity evaluations.

Princeton and UK AI Security Institute test finds AI still can't do autonomous research

Anthropic and OpenAI have promoted their models as able to speed up, and eventually run, AI research on their own. A new experiment from Princeton and the UK AI Security Institute suggests the research judgment behind that claim is not there yet. The team built a method they call Shadow Evaluation. An agent receives the central research question from an unpublished paper, then the paper's original authors, who spent months on it, review the result as conference reviewers would. Because the pape

Anthropic lets Claude Code run daily maintenance on its own apps

Anthropic is running an experiment in which Claude Code performs daily maintenance on the company's own software, and the results are already measurable. Across the first few weeks, the system opened 388 pull requests and had 180 merged after review, a roughly 46 percent acceptance rate. Boris Cherny, the Anthropic engineer who created Claude Code, described the setup in a LinkedIn post. Through Anthropic's internal Tag integration, Claude runs a set of scheduled routines every day inside a de

DeepSeek builds a team to challenge Anthropic's Claude Code

DeepSeek is no longer keeping its agent ambitions quiet. The Hangzhou-based lab has opened an official social media account for a new "DeepSeek Harness Team" and posted job listings for roles aimed at building AI agents that can take on products like Anthropic's Claude Code. The account sits on WeChat, the Chinese super-app run by Tencent. Corporate records reviewed by Bloomberg show the account belongs to a Beijing-based entity controlled by DeepSeek, and Tencent has verified it. "Harness"

Shutterstock wires its library into Claude

Shutterstock built a Content Connector that puts its licensed photos, video, music, and sound effects inside a Claude chat. Anthropic users can now search Shutterstock's catalogue and license assets without leaving the conversation. The connector puts Claude where ChatGPT stood in April, when Shutterstock shipped a similar app inside OpenAI's assistant. Shutterstock is positioning itself as the licensed content layer for AI-native workflows, a way to stay useful as generative models pressure th
