Daniela Amodei is the president and co-founder of Anthropic, the AI safety company behind Claude. Born in San Francisco in 1987, she co-founded Anthropic with her older brother Dario Amodei in 2021 after both left OpenAI, where she served as VP of Safety and Policy. Anthropic reached a $380 billion valuation in February 2026 and is reportedly in talks to raise at a $900 billion pre-money valuation as of May 2026. A note that clears up the most common confusion about her: Daniela and Dario Amodei are siblings, not spouses. Her husband is Holden Karnofsky, the co-founder of Open Philanthropy (now called Coefficient Giving). This article walks through her background, […]

For the first time since ChatGPT launched, Anthropic has overtaken OpenAI in US business adoption. Ramp’s April 2026 AI Index, published on May 13, puts Anthropic at 34.4% of tracked enterprise spending versus OpenAI at 32.3%. Anthropic added 3.8 percentage points in a single month while OpenAI fell 2.9. A year ago, OpenAI sat near 32% and Anthropic was under 8%. The lead is one month old, but the trajectory is brutal. If you’re choosing between Claude and ChatGPT, or trying to make sense of which company you actually want to bet on, the honest answer is messier than the headline. OpenAI is still the biggest AI brand on the […]

Legal-AI company Harvey reported a ~6x increase in agent task-completion rates after switching on a feature Anthropic launched on May 6, 2026 called Claude Dreaming. The same legal-drafting jobs that used to fail repeatedly, because Claude kept forgetting filetype quirks and tool-specific workarounds between sessions, suddenly started finishing reliably. That is the headline number the AI world has been talking about for the past week. It is the first real proof that giving an AI agent the ability to “remember and reflect” between jobs changes what AI can do. Claude Dreaming is one of three new features Anthropic shipped at Code with Claude 2026, alongside Outcomes and Multiagent Orchestration. The […]

Everything you need to know about Claude Cowork — Anthropic’s AI desktop agent. Features, real pricing, setup guide, honest review, and how it compares to ChatGPT, Gemini, and Claude Code.

Claude Code costs $20/month on the Pro plan ($17 annual), $100/month on Max 5x, $200/month on Max 20x, $25/seat/month on Team Standard ($20 annual), $125/seat/month on Team Premium ($100 annual), or $20/seat plus API usage on Enterprise. The Free Claude tier does not include Claude Code. API access bills per token at $1/$5 per million on Haiku 4.5, $3/$15 on Sonnet 4.6, and $5/$25 on Opus 4.7. The Claude for Open Source program offers six months of Max 20x free for qualifying maintainers, a $1,200 value. That short answer is also the long story of Claude Code pricing in 2026. Anthropic shipped three policy changes in 60 days and briefly […]

WWDC 2026 runs June 8 to 12, with the keynote on Monday, June 8 at 10am Pacific Time streamed on Apple.com, the Apple TV app, and the Apple YouTube channel. Apple sent media invites on May 18, 2026 confirming the full schedule, and on May 23 quietly registered a new genai.apple.com subdomain that almost nobody outside MacRumors has spotted. This year’s keynote is the most consequential AI moment Apple has ever had. On January 12, 2026, Apple and Google jointly announced that the next generation of Apple Foundation Models will be built on a custom 1.2-trillion-parameter Google Gemini model. Apple is reportedly paying around $1 billion per year for it. […]

Claude pricing in 2026 has seven core SKUs: Free at $0, Pro at $20/month ($17 with annual billing), Max 5x at $100/month, Max 20x at $200/month, Team Standard at $25/seat, Team Premium at $125/seat, and custom Enterprise contracts at $20/seat plus API usage. API rates run from $1 per million input tokens on Haiku 4.5 up to $25 per million output tokens on Opus 4.7. This guide breaks down every Claude pricing dimension you’ll actually pay for: subscription tiers, API rates per million tokens, Claude Code, AWS Bedrock, prompt caching, and the Batch API. We pulled every number directly from claude.com/pricing, the official Claude API docs, and AWS Bedrock, then […]

No, Claude cannot generate images. Anthropic’s own help center confirms it. Claude “does not generate photos or illustrations” the way DALL-E, Midjourney, or Nano Banana do. If you have asked Claude to draw something and watched it apologize, you are not missing a hidden setting. The feature simply does not exist inside Claude. That said, you have options. Claude can still build SVG diagrams, interactive charts, and as of April 17, 2026, full slide decks and prototypes through Claude Design. And if you want actual images, like a real photo or illustration, the cleanest fix on Mac is Fello AI, which puts Claude and a working image generator in the […]
