Experts discuss a report from Anthropic on a nearly autonomous AI-driven espionage campaign, debating its significance. The conversation explores the rise of agentic AI in attacks, the new 2025 OWASP Top 10, the fragmentation of the ransomware landscape, and the role of cyber insurance as a de facto regulator.
Anthropic's team discusses Claude for Financial Services, an agentic AI solution designed to transform financial workflows. They explore how Claude's core strengths in coding and reasoning are applied to tasks like real-time data analysis and generating investor-ready reports, highlighting practical customer examples and future developments.
Anthropic's Jonah Cool and Eric Kauderer-Abrams outline their vision for making Claude an indispensable AI research assistant for scientists. They discuss a multi-faceted strategy that includes enhancing model capabilities for long-horizon tasks, building a rich ecosystem through partnerships with companies like Benchling and 10x Genomics, and applying Claude across the entire R&D lifecycle—from bioinformatics analysis to navigating regulatory submissions.
A discussion with Anthropic engineers Alex Albert, John Welsh, and Michael Cohen about the Model Context Protocol (MCP). They cover its origins as an open standard, best practices for tool design and prompt engineering, and the future of the ecosystem where high-quality MCP servers will become a key competitive advantage.
Experts from Anthropic discuss the evolution of the Claude Developer Platform, the philosophy of "unhobbling" models with tools rather than restrictive scaffolding, and the future of building sophisticated, autonomous AI agents with features like the Claude Agent SDK, advanced context management, and persistent memory.
Anthropic's Head of Pre-training, Nick Joseph, details the immense engineering and infrastructure challenges behind training frontier models like Claude. He covers the evolution from early-stage custom frameworks to debugging hardware at massive scale, balancing pre-training with RL, and the strategic importance of data quality and team composition.
