Anthropic launched Claude Sonnet 5, an intermediate-tier model designed for enhanced agentic performance in tasks like coding, tool use, and automated reasoning. Optimized for efficiency at scale, Sonnet 5 represents a significant performance upgrade over the previous 4.6 version. It is now available across all Anthropic plans and via the API, with special introductory pricing effective through August 2026.
Anthropic has released Claude Opus 5, the latest iteration of its high-performance model tier. The new model offers improved coding, knowledge work, and agentic capabilities while maintaining the previous cost structure. Key features include enhanced visual output, greater efficiency for long-running workflows, and stronger adherence to safety constraints. Opus 5 is now the default model for Claude Pro. Additionally, Anthropic introduced new platform capabilities including mid-conversation tool switching and automatic model fallbacks for API requests and enterprise use.
Anthropic has launched the Anthropic Economic Index connector for Claude. Users can now enable this connector within Claude's directory to ask questions about AI usage patterns and economic data directly within a conversation. The tool aims to provide accessibility to economic data regarding how AI is being integrated into various fields and tasks based on real-world usage patterns.
Anthropic has committed $200 million to a new research fund aimed at analyzing the economic impacts of AI. This fund focuses on supporting external, large-scale studies and pilots that explore workforce transitions, income support, and the equitable distribution of economic gains resulting from AI development. The initiative is a significant scaling of Anthropic's prior Economic Futures program, prioritizing large-grant, ambitious projects to inform public and firm-level policy.
Anthropic is contributing an additional $20 million to Public First Action, a nonpartisan organization focused on public education and AI policy advocacy. This donation brings Anthropic's total financial support for the organization to $40 million. The funds are designated to support the organization's mission to educate the public on AI risks and benefits and promote policy dialogue, and are restricted from being used to influence specific election campaigns.
