Anthropic has its own AI-powered office suite now

❗️ "They are running a giant experiment of which we are the guinea pigs" Speaking at the opening of Berlin Science Week, Turing Award laureate and one of the "Godfathers of AI" Yoshua Bengio said that the AI industry is effectively exempt from basic safety rules ⬆️ The scientist pointed out that Anthropic's IPO filings explicitly warn that advanced AI could pose an existential threat to humanity. "And no one's doing anything! This IPO is going to create hundreds of new billionaires — just what the world needs," Bengio said ironically, as he prepares to open a Berlin office for LawZero, a non-profit lab dedicated to building safe AI. 🌐 According to Bengio, the development of super-powerful AI cannot be left to competing private companies. Instead, it must be brought under global public governance. Who should develop AI? ❤️ — International organizations 🔥 — Private companies @hiaimediaen

⚡️ Anthropic secures $3.4 billion in gas-powered generators as AI's electricity demands surge. The company behind Claude has agreed to take over orders for 1.7 gigawatts of gas-fired generators from Texas-based supplier OnePWR Solutions, according to the Financial Times. It's reportedly the largest known single purchase of power-generation equipment by an AI lab. Anthropic originally planned to purchase electricity from OnePWR. Instead, it took over the company's existing Caterpillar generator orders, securing equipment that's increasingly difficult to obtain as AI data centers expand. Anthropic's latest IPO filing disclosed $895.4 billion in computing and infrastructure commitments through 2045, including nearly $70B due within the next year. The contrast is striking. While AI-related stocks have been selling off over spending concerns, Anthropic is committing billions more to secure the infrastructure behind its growth. #AI #Anthropic

this is #2 on hacker news and the headline makes it sound like goldman gave up on claude. it's narrower and more interesting than that. what actually changed (bloomberg, via the guidance updated in october): - claude code and github copilot are now limited to goldman's ~12,000 engineers (out of ~47,000 staff) - "strats" (the quant/trading/engineering hybrids) keep access - the in-house ai assistant, which uses models from several companies, stays available to everyone - the claude-based back-office agents anthropic engineers spent 6 months building with them (trade accounting, client onboarding) stay. engineering runs those who lost it: traders and bankers who were using it to monitor client flows, model positions and make material. in july goldman's cio was still praising exactly those tr
