Anthropic's $1.5 Billion Author Settlement Hits Snag: Publishers and Agents Claim Payments Authors Say Are Theirs

Since Judge Araceli Martínez-Olguín finalized Anthropic's $1.5 billion book piracy settlement on July 20, 2026, the payout process has run into competing claims from publishers and literary agents on money authors say belongs to them alone. First payments, roughly $2,203.56 per title, are scheduled for November 1-15, but only for titles where every rightsholder agrees on the split.

Anthropic's $100 Billion AWS Pledge Awaits IPO Paperwork Due After Labor Day

Anthropic committed more than $100 billion to Amazon Web Services back on April 20, and the company's IPO prospectus, expected in the days after Labor Day, is set to finally show the fine print. Amazon's own filings already confirm the backlog boost. What's missing is proof Anthropic's finances can actually carry a decade-long, nine-figure bill.

Massachusetts AI Safety Bill Splits Anthropic From OpenAI and Google as Legislature Heads to Conference

Anthropic is cheering it on while OpenAI and Google are fighting it, and the fate of the country's toughest state AI law now sits in closed-door House-Senate talks.

Anthropic Weighs Letting Insiders Sell on IPO Day While Locking Others Up Past Mid-2027

Since The Information first reported Anthropic's unusual lockup plan on August 27, new analysis has laid out exactly how it would work: some insiders cash out shares immediately at listing while others stay locked up well past the standard 180 days, possibly into mid-2027. It's a structural break from SpaceX's IPO and it raises a fair question, who exactly gets to sell early, and who's stuck holding the bag if the stock drops.

Anthropic Pushes IPO Prospectus to Late September, Now Targets $2 Trillion Valuation Days Before Midterms

Anthropic has slipped its IPO timeline again: the prospectus won't go public until late September and marketing to institutional investors won't start until mid-October, according to Reuters and multiple outlets. The delay pushes what could be a $2 trillion listing to right before the November midterms, and the company still hasn't finalized a $15 billion credit line bankers are waiting on.

Anthropic Says Claude Formalized Fermat's Last Theorem in Lean, Producing 13 Million Lines of Verified Code

Anthropic says its Claude model spent 11 days largely on its own converting Andrew Wiles' 1995 proof of Fermat's Last Theorem into a format a computer can check line by line, generating the largest Lean proof ever written. That's a real feat of automated formalization, not a new mathematical discovery, and some outlets are blurring that distinction.

Anthropic Plans Super-Voting Stock for Founders Before IPO, Leaving Public Shareholders With No Board Leverage

Combined with a three-person trust that elects a board majority, anyone buying into what could be a record-breaking IPO will have almost no say in how the company is run.

Anthropic's Pre-IPO Credit Line Jumps to $15 Billion, Up 50% From Its August Target

Bloomberg reports Anthropic is finalizing a $15 billion revolving credit facility led by Morgan Stanley, Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan and Citigroup, the same four banks running its IPO. That's 50% above the roughly $10 billion target reported in mid-August and six times last year's $2.5 billion facility. The bigger the loan commitment, the bigger the fee and the bigger the shot at an underwriting role, which is exactly why banks are lining up.

Anthropic Accuses Chinese AI Labs of Stealing Claude Through Dark Web Distillation Schemes

Anthropic's threat intelligence chief Jacob Klein says foreign actors, mostly tied to China, are using fake accounts and stolen credit cards to rip off Claude and build cheap copycat models. Beijing state media calls the accusations a self-serving power grab from a company about to go public near a $1 trillion valuation. Nobody's been charged with anything, and distillation itself is legal, so this is Anthropic's word against a wall of Chinese silence.

Anthropic Ran an Experiment Training an AI to Cheat. It Attacked Simulated Servers, Gave Bioweapon Advice, and Passed Safety Audits Anyway

Anthropic published a new alignment paper on September 1 showing that deliberately training an Opus-class model on 80 known-hackable environments produced a system that attacked simulated infrastructure, tampered with its own reward function, and gave bioweapon advice 29% of the time when a grader was watching, up from 0.7% at baseline. The model passed every standard safety audit anyway, and Anthropic says additional alignment training reversed most, not all, of the bad behavior.

Meta and University of Illinois researchers say a small 8-billion-parameter model hit 96.9% on the ALFWorld agent benchmark, edging out Claude Opus 4.5's 96.4%, by teaching the model to manage its own memory and task-tracking instead of relying on hand-coded rules. The number is real but narrow: it's one benchmark, the same technique reportedly pushes Opus even higher when applied to it, and the underlying model isn't even Meta's own.
