Anthropic is expanding its deal with Google to use as many as one million of the tech giant's artificial intelligence chips, worth tens of billions of dollars, as the startup races to advance its AI systems in the competitive market.

Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei is pushing back on claims that his artificial intelligence company is too “woke” following a wave of criticism from the White House’s AI czar David Sacks.

Claude’s automatic ‘memory’ upgrade is coming to Pro and Max subscribers. Anthropic is rolling out an update for Claude that will let the AI chatbot “remember” past conversations without prompting. The upgrade for all paid subscribers should make Claude more useful and convenient.

Claude's memory will now be available to individual paid users in addition to users on Enterprise and Team plans.

Anthropic introduces Claude Code on the Web, a browser-based AI coding tool that lets enterprise developers run secure, sandboxed sessions and manage GitHub projects.

Amodei’s response comes after last week’s dogpiling on Anthropic from AI leaders and top members of the Trump administration, including AI czar David Sacks and White House senior policy advisor for AI Sriram Krishnan -- all accusing the AI giant of stoking fears to damage the industry.

Alphabet (NASDAQ: GOOG /NASDAQ: GOOGL) has been the best performing stock amongst the Big 3 U.S. hyperscalers and broader Magnificent Seven cohort this year. Its year-to-date gains of more than 33% have led the stock towards new all-time highs, assuaging previous investors’ concerns about entrenched AI disruption to its business model.

Alphabet shares are rising in Thursday's after-hours session after Anthropic announced plans to expand use of Google Cloud technologies.
