Apr 24, 2026 Announcements An update on our election safeguards

An update on our election safeguards People around the world turn to Claude for information about political parties, candidates, and the issues at stake during election time—as well as to answer simpler questions like when, where, and how to vote. In our view, if AI models can answer these questions well (that is, accurately and impartially), they can be a positive force for the democratic process. Here, we explain what we’re doing to help Claude meet the mark ahead of the US midterms and other major elections around the world this year. Measuring and preventing political bias When people ask Claude about political topics, they should get comprehensive, accurate, and balanced responses—responses that help them reach their own conclusions, rather than steer them toward a particular viewpoint. That’s why we train Claude to treat different political viewpoints with equal depth,…

Introducing Claude Opus 4.7 Product Apr 16, 2026 Our latest Opus model brings stronger performance across coding, agents, vision, and multi-step tasks, with greater thoroughness and consistency on the work that matters most.

Introducing Claude Opus 4.7 Our latest model, Claude Opus 4.7, is now generally available. Opus 4.7 is a notable improvement on Opus 4.6 in advanced software engineering, with particular gains on the most difficult tasks. Users report being able to hand off their hardest coding work—the kind that previously needed close supervision—to Opus 4.7 with confidence. Opus 4.7 handles complex, long-running tasks with rigor and consistency, pays precise attention to instructions, and devises ways to verify its own outputs before reporting back. The model also has substantially better vision: it can see images in greater resolution. It’s more tasteful and creative when completing professional tasks, producing higher-quality interfaces, slides, and docs. And—although it is less broadly capable than our most powerful model, Claude Mythos Preview—it shows better results than Opus 4.6 across a range of benchmarks: Last week we announced…

Product Apr 17, 2026 Introducing Claude Design by Anthropic Labs Today, we’re launching Claude Design, a new Anthropic Labs product that lets you collaborate with Claude to create polished visual work like designs, prototypes, slides, one-pagers, and more.

Introducing Claude Design by Anthropic Labs Today, we’re launching Claude Design, a new Anthropic Labs product that lets you collaborate with Claude to create polished visual work like designs, prototypes, slides, one-pagers, and more. Claude Design is powered by our most capable vision model, Claude Opus 4.7, and is available in research preview for Claude Pro, Max, Team, and Enterprise subscribers. We’re rolling out to users gradually throughout the day. Design with Claude Even experienced designers have to ration exploration—there's rarely time to prototype a dozen directions, so you limit yourself to a few. And for founders, product managers, and marketers with an idea but not a design background, creating and sharing those ideas can be daunting. Claude Design gives designers room to explore widely and everyone else a way to produce visual work. Describe what you need and Claude…

Mar 11, 2026 Announcements Introducing The Anthropic Institute

Introducing The Anthropic Institute We’re launching The Anthropic Institute, a new effort to confront the most significant challenges that powerful AI will pose to our societies. The Anthropic Institute will draw on research from across Anthropic to provide information that other researchers and the public can use during our transition to a world containing much more powerful AI systems. In the five years since Anthropic began, AI progress has moved incredibly quickly. It took us two years to release our first commercial model, and just three more to develop models that can discover severe cybersecurity vulnerabilities, take on a wide range of real work, and even begin to accelerate the pace of AI development itself. We predict that far more dramatic progress will follow in the next two years. One of our company’s core convictions is that AI development is…

Announcements Feb 4, 2026 Claude is a space to think We’ve made a choice: Claude will remain ad-free. We explain why advertising incentives are incompatible with a genuinely helpful AI assistant, and how we plan to expand access without compromising user trust.

Claude is a space to think There are many good places for advertising. A conversation with Claude is not one of them. Advertising drives competition, helps people discover new products, and allows services like email and social media to be offered for free. We’ve run our own ad campaigns, and our AI models have, in turn, helped many of our customers in the advertising industry. But including ads in conversations with Claude would be incompatible with what we want Claude to be: a genuinely helpful assistant for work and for deep thinking. We want Claude to act unambiguously in our users’ interests. So we’ve made a choice: Claude will remain ad-free. Our users won’t see “sponsored” links adjacent to their conversations with Claude; nor will Claude’s responses be influenced by advertisers or include third-party product placements our users did not…

Responsible Scaling Policy

Announcing our updated Responsible Scaling Policy Today we are publishing a significant update to our Responsible Scaling Policy (RSP), the risk governance framework we use to mitigate potential catastrophic risks from frontier AI systems. This update introduces a more flexible and nuanced approach to assessing and managing AI risks while maintaining our commitment not to train or deploy models unless we have implemented adequate safeguards. Key improvements include new capability thresholds to indicate when we will upgrade our safeguards, refined processes for evaluating model capabilities and the adequacy of our safeguards (inspired by safety case methodologies), and new measures for internal governance and external input. By learning from our implementation experiences and drawing on risk management practices used in other high-consequence industries, we aim to better prepare for the rapid pace of AI advancement. The promise and challenge of advanced…
