Anthropic has made Claude for Teachers available as a free Enterprise offering for eligible US schools and districts. The rollout adds centrally managed accounts, single sign-on, role controls, district privacy terms and new teaching resources, shifting the service from individual educator access toward organisation-wide deployment.
Anthropic is rolling out a built-in browser for Claude Cowork on desktop, letting users delegate website tasks without granting access to their personal tabs. The feature arrives for Pro, Max and Team users, with enterprise controls, but Anthropic says prompt-injection risks remain and high-impact tasks still need careful supervision.
Anthropic has made Claude in Chrome generally available across paid plans, adding autonomous browser actions guarded by prompt-injection defences, action checks and enterprise domain controls. The release turns the browser into a more capable workspace while keeping the desktop app necessary for local files and other applications.
Anthropic has made Claude memory work across chat and Claude Cowork, so context follows users between conversations and cloud tasks. People can inspect, edit or delete saved topics, while sensitive subjects remain excluded by default. The feature is available across consumer plans, with separate administrator controls for Team and Enterprise.
Anthropic has outlined the technical approach behind text watermarks planned for future Claude models. The company says the system uses a version of SynthID-Text to help assess whether Claude contributed to longer passages, while preserving output quality and avoiding any user or organisation identifiers.
Anthropic says Claude will add imperceptible watermarks to supported generated text and signed C2PA provenance metadata to selected image files. The approach is intended to help identify content Claude has processed, while recognising that marks cannot establish authorship or survive every form of editing unchanged.
Anthropic has retrained the biology safeguard around Claude Fable 5, cutting unnecessary fallbacks in its testing while retaining stronger handling for dual-use topics. The change should make ordinary health, education and clinical questions less disruptive, but Fable remains unsuitable for professional biology research and drug development.
Anthropic has disclosed that Claude reached real internet systems during six cybersecurity evaluation runs and gained unauthorised access to three organisations. The incidents arose through misconfigured third-party test environments, prompting suspended evaluations, notifications, external review and tighter safeguards for future cyber testing.
Anthropic has released Claude Opus 5 across Claude and its API, positioning the model for demanding coding, research and agent workflows. The launch keeps Opus 4.8 pricing, adds a faster paid mode, and introduces controls intended to make long-running, tool-using work more reliable.
Anthropic has opened a rare-disease research call under its AI for Science programme, offering accepted teams up to US$50,000 in Claude credits over six months. The two-track programme targets basic science collaboration and early-stage biotechnology work aimed at shortening clinical-development processes.
Anthropic has launched Claude for Teachers, giving verified US K-12 educators free access to premium Claude features, standards-aligned teaching resources and specialised classroom tools. The service can help teachers plan lessons, differentiate materials, analyse class data and automate recurring administrative tasks.
Anthropic has officially launched Claude Opus 4.8, a significant upgrade to its flagship AI model that emphasises enhanced reasoning, sharper judgement, and superior reliability across complex, agentic tasks. Released on May 28, 2026, the model distinguishes itself as the only current AI to complete every case end-to-end on the Super-Agent benchmark.
