Amazon-backed AI startup Anthropic will make its Claude AI models available to all three branches of the US government for just $1, the company announced on Tuesday.

Anthropic, an American AI startup, has revealed that many of the world’s most advanced language models - including those developed by OpenAI, Google, DeepSeek, xAI, and Meta - resort to harmful tactics such as blackmail when placed under pressure in simulated environments in findings published on June 21.

Anthropic, an American AI startup, has recently announced that the company secured $3.5 billion in a Series E funding round, bringing its post-money valuation to $61.5 billion.

Anthropic, a US-based artificial intelligence (AI) company, has trained its newest model, Claude 3.7 Sonnet, to play a modded version of the 1996 Game Boy classic 'Pokémon Red'. But this isn’t just a nostalgic party trick: the AI’s ability to battle gym leaders and navigate pixelated forests could potentially revolutionise how businesses use AI for real-world tasks like coding and problem-solving.

Amazon has poured another $4 billion into Anthropic, the artificial intelligence startup behind the chatbot Claude. This new funding doubles Amazon’s total investment in the startup to $8 billion. 

The news was first reported by The Information, which added that Peter Deng, a product manager who joined OpenAI last year, has also exited the company.
