Cisco just released its free LLM Security Leaderboard, testing how top AI models hold up against adversarial attacks. Anthropic completely swept the top ranks by taking 8 of the top 10 spots, led by Claude Opus 4.5 at No. 1, while OpenAI’s GPT-5.2 finished 7th. Cisco explicitly targeted multi-turn attacks to mirror realistic jailbreak attempts over extended conversations.
Anthropic just expanded its partnership with Microsoft, bringing Claude Sonnet 4.5, Haiku 4.5, and Opus 4.1 to Microsoft Foundry in public preview. Azure enterprise customers can deploy Claude through existing Azure agreements, while Excel's Agent Mode now lets users tap Claude to build spreadsheets and generate formulas. It removes procurement hurdles for teams wanting frontier reasoning inside Microsoft's ecosystem.
Anthropic just released Claude Haiku 4.5 to all users, delivering coding performance on par with Claude Sonnet 4 at one-third the cost and more than twice the speed. It even outperforms Sonnet 4 on computer-use tasks, priced at $1 per million input tokens and $5 per million output tokens.
