Claude

Overuse of smartphones is now a widely recognised problem, but we’re also starting to see people perhaps get overly dependent on chatbots like Claude AI and ChatGPT.

Claude creator Anthropic is currently testing a beta feature intended to allow users to reflect on how they are using the AI and be prompted to perhaps use it less …

Anthropic is upgrading Claude Sonnet, replacing Sonnet 4.6 from February with Sonnet 5 as the best medium-sized model.

No sign of Claude Fable 5’s return yet, though Anthropic does have a new Claude feature launching today. Claude Tag is “a new way for teams to work with Claude,” per Anthropic.

Last year, Apple debuted Digital ID on iPhone, allowing users to use their US passport as identification in Apple Wallet. Apple’s been rolling out drivers licenses in Wallet slowly over the past few years, but that’s on a state-by-state basis. Digital ID is universal, allowing anyone with a passport to use it.

Of course, you can use it at TSA checkpoints in airports – but Apple had a bigger scope in mind: digital age and identity verification. While not yet confirmed, it’s possible that we could see a first major implementation of this quite soon, in Claude.

Anthropic unveiled its Claude Mythos AI model in April, only sharing access with select partners like Apple. The controlled release is part of Anthropic’s Project Glasswing cybersecurity initiative.

Now Anthropic says it’s sharing Claude Mythos access with more partners in more countries. Meanwhile, the company says Mythos-class models will be available to all customers in a matter of weeks.
