Anthropic beats OpenAI as the top LLM provider for business - and it's not even close

oxygen/Getty ZDNET's key takeaways Programming is AI's killer app. The top business AI, especially for programming, is Anthropic. Open-source AI is lagging behind its proprietary competitors. If you were to ask J. Random User on the street what the most popular business AI Large Language Model (LLM) is, I bet you they'd say OpenAI's ChatGPT. As of mid-2025, however, Anthropic is the leading enterprise LLM provider, with 32% of enterprise usage, according to Menlo Ventures, an early-stage ve

6 Weeks of Claude Code

6 Weeks of Claude Code Jul 30, 2025 - Orta Therox It is wild to think that it has been only a handful of weeks. Claude Code has considerably changed my relationship to writing and maintaining code at scale. I still write code at the same level of quality, but I feel like I have a new freedom of expression which is hard to fully articulate. Claude Code has decoupled myself from writing every line of code, I still consider myself fully responsible for everything I ship to Puzzmo, but the ability

Compressing Icelandic name declension patterns into a 3.27 kB trie

Compressing Icelandic name declension patterns into a 3.27 kB trie August 2, 2025 Displaying personal names in Icelandic user interfaces is surprisingly hard. This is because of declension — a language feature where the forms of nouns change to communicate a syntactic function. In Icelandic, personal names have four forms, one for each of the grammatical cases of Icelandic nouns. Take the name “Guðmundur”: Grammatical case Form Nominative Guðmundur Accusative Guðmund Dative Guðmundi Genitive

Anthropic cuts off OpenAI’s access to its Claude models

In Brief Anthropic has revoked OpenAI’s access to its Claude family of AI models, according to a report in Wired. Sources told Wired that OpenAI was connecting Claude to internal tools that allowed the company to compare Claude’s performance to its own models in categories like coding, writing, and safety. TechCrunch has reached out to Anthropic and OpenAI for comment. In a statement to Wired, an Anthropic spokesperson said, “OpenAI’s own technical staff were also using our coding tools ahead

Anthropic says OpenAI engineers using Claude Code ahead of GPT-5 launch

Anthropic says it has revoked OpenAI's access to the Claude API after ChatGPT's engineers were found using Claude's coding tools. Claude Code is better than any other coding tool in the AI coding industry, also known as "Vibe coding." With Claude, you can create web apps from scratch, and it's also pretty efficient with infra-related work. Not just vibe coders who don't know how to code use Claude, but also professional engineers. In fact, Claude Code is also used in Claude's development at

Deep Agents

Using an LLM to call tools in a loop is the simplest form of an agent. This architecture, however, can yield agents that are “shallow” and fail to plan and act over longer, more complex tasks. Applications like “Deep Research”, “Manus”, and “Claude Code” have gotten around this limitation by implementing a combination of four things: a planning tool, sub agents, access to a file system, and a detailed prompt. Acknowledgements: this exploration was primarily inspired by Claude Code and reports o

Design patterns you should unlearn in Python

Search for “design patterns in Python” and you’ll be rewarded with a parade of tutorials showing off how to faithfully re-implement Gang of Four patterns — complete with class diagrams, factory hierarchies, and enough boilerplate to heat a small village. They’ll make you feel like you’re writing “serious” code. Smart. Professional. Enterprise-ready. But here’s the problem: most of these patterns solve problems Python doesn’t have. They were designed for languages like Java and C++, where you ha

Uber’s Drive to Become the Kleenex of Robotaxis

Huawei's CloudMatrix 384 could outpace Nvidia in the AI race, study suggests

Editor's take: The Trump administration attempted to curb China's ability to advance its computing capabilities through tariffs and other trade restrictions. However, this unprecedented trade war may have instead pushed Beijing to accelerate its efforts in developing powerful new AI systems. As newly appointed US tech czar David Sacks predicted just a month ago, Trump's tariffs appear to be backfiring in spectacular fashion. Chinese tech giant Huawei is reportedly developing a powerful AI syste

Radioactive Wasp Nest Found in Decommissioned Nuclear Weapons Plant

On July 3, employees conducting a regular checkup of radiation levels at the Savannah River Site (SRS)—a former nuclear weapons production facility dating back to the 1950s—found themselves staring down at something that probably should not have been there. That something was a wasp nest measuring more than 10 times the federall
