Claude Fable 5.2 Built a Working Operating System With 1,000 AI Agents

Anthropic gave Claude Fable 5.2 an empty folder and one instruction: build an operating system. Eight days later, more than 1,000 AI agents working in parallel had produced a prototype that boots on a laptop, complete with a kernel, drivers, file storage, windows, a login screen, and an installer. Anthropic announced the new model on Monday, November 9, alongside Claude Mythos 5.2, a version of the same model with fewer safety restrictions for vetted researchers. ...

Anthropic Spends $3.4 Billion on Gas Generators to Power AI Data Centers

Anthropic has a power problem, and it just spent $3.4 billion trying to fix it. The Financial Times reported on Sunday that the company behind Claude struck a deal in late September to secure 1.7 gigawatts of gas-fired generators for its AI data centers, taking over generator orders placed by a Texas equipment supplier. If the report holds up, it’s one of the clearest signs yet that the AI race has a new bottleneck, and it isn’t chips. ...

Google, Microsoft, OpenAI and Anthropic Back One robots.txt Line to Opt Out of AI Training

Four of the biggest names in AI agreed on October 30 to read the same two lines in a website’s robots.txt file as a “no” to AI training. Google, Microsoft, OpenAI and Anthropic each said they will honor a single shared policy token, __usage_ai-training, so a site owner can state the preference once instead of writing a separate rule for every lab. The Verge first reported the deal, and TechRadar picked up the story this week as publishers started asking what it actually does. ...

Claude Code 'Don't Ask Again' Leaked Passwords and API Keys Into 1,122 Public GitHub Files

A single click in Anthropic’s Claude Code has been quietly copying developers’ passwords and API keys into a file that anyone on GitHub can read. Security firm Apiiro said on November 5 that 1,122 public copies of that file hold at least one secret, and the total reaches 2,539 secrets across 1,994 repositories once git history and shared settings files are counted. The cause isn’t a hack or a prompt-injection trick. It’s a convenience feature doing exactly what it was built to do. ...

Security firm Apiiro found 1,122 public Claude Code settings files on GitHub holding real secrets, after developers clicked “Yes, and don’t ask again” and the tool saved their full commands — passwords included — in plain text. The files are still public, and Anthropic has not replied publicly. Full story in slides above — Sources: Apiiro research (Nov 5, 2026), The Hacker News, Ars Technica.

AI Proves 18-Year-Old Quantum Conjecture in 3 Days

Startup PSI (Physical Superintelligence) says its in-house research system, running instances of an unreleased Anthropic model, proved the Aaronson-Ambainis conjecture — an open problem in quantum computing since 2008 — with a complete proof on the third day of its run. The Lean proof assistant accepted the formal proof, which covers 648 machine-checked theorems, and the paper and code are public on GitHub.

Anthropic's AI Is Improving Twice as Fast, Independent METR Review Finds

Anthropic is improving its AI models about twice as fast as it did a year ago, according to an independent review published Thursday. METR, the nonprofit group that evaluates frontier AI systems, spent 11 weeks inside Anthropic’s data and concluded the company is likely advancing on well-specified tasks at around double the pace it managed between March 2024 and October 2025. Its central estimate puts the speedup at 1.9 times the old rate. The researchers said they would “not be surprised” if the real figure landed anywhere from 1.3 to 3 times. ...

Claude Can Now Read Your Bank Account — But It Can't Touch Your Money

Anthropic launched Personal Finance in Claude on November 5, 2026, a US beta that connects bank, card, loan and investment accounts through Plaid so subscribers can ask Claude about their own spending. Access is read-only: Claude can read balances, credit limits and up to two years of transactions for up to 16 banks, but it cannot move, manage or invest money, and chats in the Personal Finance hub are not used to train Anthropic’s models.

Anthropic launched Personal Finance in Claude on Thursday, November 5, 2026, a beta that lets paying subscribers in the US link their bank, credit card, loan, and investment accounts to the chatbot and ask it plain-language questions about their own money. The rollout is gradual, so not every eligible account will see it on day one. Claude can read balances, credit limits, and up to 24 months of transactions across as many as 16 banks. It can tell you where the money went last month and flag recurring charges. What it cannot do is move any of it. ...

Goldman Sachs pulls AI coding tools from bankers and traders, limits them to engineers

Goldman Sachs has taken advanced AI coding tools away from most of its bankers and traders. Under internal guidance updated in October and reported by Bloomberg on November 2, Anthropic’s Claude Code and Microsoft’s GitHub Copilot are now limited to the bank’s roughly 12,000 engineers, out of a workforce of about 47,000. Don’t mistake this for a firm turning its back on AI. Goldman still runs its own AI assistant for every employee, and it still uses Claude heavily behind the scenes. What changed is who gets to hand a coding agent a task and let it run. ...

One AI Just Rewrote Another AI — And Researchers Are Split

MIT researchers report that OpenAI’s GPT-6 Astra edited the weights of a smaller Qwen model directly, lifting its MATH-500 score from 7.9% to 48.1% after changing just 0.016% of its weights. The team calls the technique Weight-Space Programming and stresses the result is very early — and on the same day, Anthropic warned in a revised filing that AI may soon accelerate its own research.

TechCrunch first flagged the new language on Monday, and WCCFTech confirmed the same filing language in its own report. ...
