Cursor has been a trusted partner of Anthropic since Sonnet 3.5. We’ll continue to increase compute to support Claude models in Cursor and are excited for what comes next with them at SpaceX.
Personal update: I'm taking a leave of absence from YC to join Anthropic. I'll be working with @NotTomBrown on the compute team.
Powerful AI has the potential to improve the life of every human on earth and, as we enter the early stages of recursive self-improvement, availability of compute becomes one of the most important issues to solve.
I'm excited to get started 🚀

We’ve received notice that the Department of Commerce has lifted export controls on Claude Fable 5 and Mythos 5.
We'll begin restoring access tomorrow, and will share an update soon.
We’re grateful to our users for their patience, and to everyone who worked with us on redeploying the models.

Excited to see what you all build with Fable
Fable 5 is state-of-the-art on nearly all tested benchmarks, with exceptional performance in software engineering, knowledge work, scientific research, and vision.
The longer and more complex the task, the larger Fable 5’s lead over our other models.

Introducing Claude Opus 4.8: it builds on Opus 4.7 with sharper judgment, more honesty about its own progress, and the ability to work independently for longer than its predecessors.
Available today at the same price.

We’re expanding our partnership with @SpaceX, and will be scaling up on GB200 capacity in Colossus 2 throughout June.
Appreciate @elonmusk and the team helping us find good homes for the Claudes.
In the next few days we'll be ramping up Claude inference on Colossus.
Grateful to be partnering with SpaceX here. We are going to need to move a lot of atoms in order to keep up with AI demand, and there's nobody better at quickly moving atoms (on or off planet Earth)

Personal update: I've joined Anthropic. I think the next few years at the frontier of LLMs will be especially formative. I am very excited to join the team here and get back to R&D. I remain deeply passionate about education and plan to resume my work on it in time.

Incredibly proud the xAI team's execution in bringing on an immense amount of compute so quickly & couldn't be more excited for Elon's vision of an abundant future w/ intelligence spreading to the stars
Over the past weeks I've had the pleasure of getting to know the team at Anthropic & share similar vision - I'm happy to announce I'm joining the team there to focus on compute
Onward towards building a future we're all excited about

Terrestrial datacenters will increasingly be bottlenecked by permitted real estate space. Lots of space in space.
SpaceXAI and @AnthropicAI have also expressed interest in partnering to develop multiple gigawatts of orbital AI compute capacity
In the next few days we'll be ramping up Claude inference on Colossus.

A statement on the comments from Secretary of War Pete Hegseth.
Most important LLM benchmark.
Really enjoyed this convo about our journey so far and where we're headed.
Especially fun reminiscing about the early days and the origin stories for each of us.
Our co-founders discuss the past, present, and future of Anthropic.
