Accenture and Anthropic just announced a major partnership expansion, forming a dedicated business group and training roughly 30,000 consultants on Claude. The consulting giant is also rolling out Claude Code to tens of thousands of its developers, aiming directly at regulated industries like finance and healthcare to move AI experiments into production.
Anthropic just integrated its Claude Code assistant directly into Slack as a research preview. Instead of copying and pasting bug reports into a separate tool, developers can now simply @Claude in a chat thread to pull context and linked repositories for quick debugging. You'll just need to connect your repos via the web version first.
Anthropic just announced the acquisition of Bun, the fast JavaScript runtime and toolkit, to bolster its coding infrastructure. The deal comes as Claude Code reached a massive $1 billion run-rate revenue milestone just six months after launch. Bun will remain open source under the MIT license while supercharging Claude Code workflows.
Anthropic just published an internal study examining how tools like Claude Code are reshaping its own engineering teams. Employees report using Claude across roughly 60% of their work to gain an average 50% productivity boost, tackling projects that previously weren't worth the manual effort. Why it matters: Even the people building frontier AI share the same anxieties, reporting concerns over skill atrophy and reduced mentorship from peers.
Anthropic just released Claude Opus 4.5, calling it the world's best model for coding, agents, and computer use. It even outperformed human candidates on the company's internal software engineering exam. With API pricing lowered to $5/$25 per million tokens and a new effort parameter to cut token usage, frontier intelligence is getting both smarter and cheaper.
Anthropic just disrupted what it describes as the first documented large-scale cyber espionage campaign executed almost entirely by AI. Attackers tricked Claude Code into infiltrating roughly 30 global targets, leaving the model to autonomously research exploits, harvest credentials, and exfiltrate data for 80% to 90% of the campaign. Why it matters: The barrier to sophisticated cyberattacks has collapsed, proving agentic AI can already operate as an autonomous offensive weapon.
Anthropic just launched Claude Code on the web, letting developers delegate coding tasks straight from the browser without touching a local terminal. Tasks run in parallel inside isolated cloud sandboxes, automatically submitting PRs across multiple GitHub repos—and there's even an iOS preview for coding on the go. Why it matters: It turns routine bug fixing and repo maintenance into hands-off background work.
Anthropic just introduced Agent Skills, letting users bundle instructions, scripts, and local files into reusable folders that Claude loads only when needed. The setup works identically across Claude apps, the developer API, and Claude Code, with support for executable scripts. It basically turns tedious prompt engineering into portable, plug-and-play micro-tools.
Anthropic and Salesforce just expanded their partnership to make Claude a preferred AI model for Agentforce, specifically targeting strict sectors like healthcare and finance. All traffic stays securely inside Salesforce's private cloud, while Salesforce engineers deploy Claude Code worldwide. It's a pragmatic push to put agentic AI into mission-critical corporate workflows.
Anthropic just introduced plugins for Claude Code, letting developers bundle custom slash commands, specialized subagents, MCP servers, and hooks into one-command installs. Anyone can host a curated marketplace via a simple Git repo, and plugins can be toggled on and off to keep prompts clean. It effectively turns the CLI coding assistant into an extensible developer ecosystem.
Anthropic just announced plans to open an office in Bengaluru in early 2026, marking its second hub in the Asia-Pacific region after Tokyo. India currently ranks as Claude's second-largest user base behind the U.S., driven heavily by software development and IT services. The company is also upgrading Claude's support for Hindi and nearly a dozen Indic languages.
Anthropic just released Claude Sonnet 4.5, establishing a new high watermark for coding and agent workflows. The model hits 77.2% on SWE-bench Verified and jumps to 61.4% on the OSWorld computer-use benchmark, while keeping API pricing flat at $3/$15 per million tokens. Alongside the release, Anthropic opened up its Claude Agent SDK to let developers build custom autonomous agents.
Anthropic just updated its consumer privacy policy to train AI models on user chats and coding sessions, retaining data for up to five years. The change takes effect September 28 across Free, Pro, and Max tiers with opt-in enabled by default, though enterprise and API accounts remain exempt.
Anthropic just updated its consumer terms and privacy policy, giving Free, Pro, and Max users a choice to let their chats and Claude Code sessions train future models. Opting in extends data retention from 30 days to five years, while commercial and API customers remain untouched. Users have until October 8, 2025, to decide in their privacy settings.
Anthropic just released a threat report exposing how bad actors are weaponizing its AI. In one wild case, a hacker used Claude Code to automate network infiltration, extract data, and calculate ransoms across 17 organizations. The company banned the accounts and deployed new classifiers, but it shows agentic AI is officially in criminals' hands.
Anthropic rolled out Claude in Chrome to pilot browser-based AI capabilities, now expanded across Pro, Team, and Enterprise plans. The extension handles web tasks like scheduling and form-filling while testing layered defenses against prompt injection attacks, including site-level permissions and DOM-level protections.
Anthropic just bundled its terminal-based coding agent, Claude Code, into Team and Enterprise business plans. Admins can now assign premium seats, set granular spending caps per developer, and monitor code acceptance rates and usage metrics. A new Compliance API also gives organizations real-time auditing access, making it much easier for companies to safely scale AI coding assistants.
Anthropic just overhauled its Usage Policy to keep up with agentic tools like Claude Code, with changes taking effect September 15. The update sets clear lines against malware and infrastructure attacks, while replacing a blanket political ban with targeted rules that allow policy research but ban voter targeting.
Anthropic just rolled out new learning modes across Claude.ai and Claude Code. Instead of spitting out instant solutions, the AI now takes a Socratic approach to walk you through concepts, and its coding assistant will even drop #TODO tags for you to fill in yourself. Both modes are available to all users for free.
Anthropic just added automated security reviews to Claude Code, letting developers catch vulnerabilities before shipping. A new /security-review terminal command scans for flaws like SQL injection and patches them on the spot, while a GitHub Action automatically audits incoming pull requests.
