Anthropic now lets you make apps right from its Claude AI chatbot

is a news editor covering technology, gaming, and more. He joined The Verge in 2019 after nearly two years at Techmeme. Anthropic is adding a new feature to its Claude AI chatbot that lets you build AI-powered apps right inside the app. The upgrade, launching in beta, builds upon Anthropic’s Artifacts feature introduced last year that lets you see and interact with what you ask Claude to make. “Start building in the Claude app by enabling this new interactive capability,” the company says in a

Getty drops key copyright claims against Stability AI, but UK lawsuit continues

Getty Images dropped its primary claims of copyright infringement against Stability AI on Wednesday at London’s High Court, narrowing one of the most closely watched legal fights over how AI companies use copyrighted content to train their models. The move doesn’t end the case entirely – Getty is still pursuing other claims as well as a separate lawsuit in the U.S. – but it underscores the gray areas surrounding the future of content ownership and usage in the age of generative AI. The developm

Anthropic makes it easier to create and share Claude's bite-sized Artifact apps

Last August, Anthropic released Artifacts. The feature allows Claude users to create small, AI-programmed apps for their own use. Today, Anthropic is making it easier to share Artifacts. At the same time, it's making the apps you can make with the feature more powerful. To start, Artifacts now have their own dedicated space you can access from the Claude app sidebar. Here you'll find a curated selection of projects made by other people to get you started on your own programs. Every Artifact you

Anthropic launches new AI feature to build your own customizable chatbots

Anthropic Anthropic, the American startup company that produces the Claude family of generative artificial intelligence programs, on Wednesday said users can now make full-fledged applications using the "artifacts" function in Claude, and choose from a curated list of pre-built apps others have made. Artifacts, which were introduced in June of last year, and made generally available in August, allow for objects you make at the prompt — a picture, a diagram — to be displayed in their own separa

Snake Venom, Urine, and a Quest to Live Forever: Inside a Biohacking Conference Emboldened by MAHA

I have been to the undying convention. I have been pressurized in a hyperbaric oxygen chamber and bathed in flickering gamma-wave light. I have had my electromagnetic field manipulated. I have taken an IV drip of green liquid that looked nearly radioactive. I have been frozen in a cryochamber (and felt amazing afterward) and baked in a one-man, zippable sauna (I didn’t). I have eaten more consecutive meals of beef than ever in my life, grinding unrefined Kalahari desert salt over the slabs of f

A nasal spray company wants to make it harder for the FTC to police health claims

In the midst of the covid-19 pandemic, a health products company called Xlear began advertising its saline nasal spray to people desperately searching for ways to protect themselves from a new virus. In its marketing, Xlear pointed to studies that it said supported the idea that ingredients in the spray could block viruses from sticking to the nasal cavity. Based on its interpretation of the science, Xlear promoted the product as one part of a “layered defense” against contracting covid. In 202

Claude catches up to ChatGPT with built-in memory support

AI startup Anthorpic is planning to add a memory feature to Claude in a bid to take on ChatGPT, which has an advanced memory feature. With memory support, Claude can remember past events and reference them in new chats to improve the results. For example, if you specifically instruct Claude that you prefer Python as your favourite programming language, it'll try to show Python-based code output only. Anthorpic hasn't confirmed memory support for Claude, but as some users spotted on X, referen

AT&T customer? You might get a cut of $177 million data breach settlement

wdstock/Gertty Images If you're a current or former AT&T customer, a new class action settlement means you might be in line for a little cash. Earlier this year, the company confirmed two major data breaches -- one from 2019 or earlier and one from 2024. The stolen data, which ultimately ended up for sale on the dark web, included social security numbers, names, email addresses, mailing addresses, phone numbers, dates of birth, and more. Also: 184 million passwords leaked across Facebook, Goo

This Is Why High-End Electric Cars Are Failing

It may well be able to wade through deep water, have crawl-assist mode for sketchy terrain, and even perform 360-degree swivel-on-the-spot tank turns, but sales of the seemingly much-anticipated electric Mercedes G-Class SUV have been poor. Actually, that’s an understatement. They’ve been woeful. And it’s not the only e-flop from a legacy automaker: Just last week Ferrari announced that it is delaying its second EV model (the first will arrive in October) until at least 2028 because of weak dem

AI agents will threaten humans to achieve their goals, Anthropic report finds

BlackJack3D/Getty Images The Greek myth of King Midas is a parable of hubris: seeking fabulous wealth, the king is granted the power to turn all he touches to solid gold--but this includes, tragically, his food and his daughter. The point is that the short-sightedness of humans can often lead us into trouble in the long run. In the AI community, this has become known as the King Midas problem. A new safety report from Anthropic found that leading models can subvert, betray, and endanger their

The golden Trump Phone is almost certainly not made in the US

Not content with a real estate empire and the presidency of the United States, the Trump family is wading into the phone wars like it's 2011 with a shiny gold monstrosity called the T1, the marketing of which leans extensively on the narrowest idea of patriotism. Beyond the immediate question — why do this, like, at all? — the T1 invites a question that's perhaps easier to interrogate: How can any modern smartphone claim to be made in the US? Over the last 40 years America has led a massive glo

Chinese Studio Wants to Bring Back Bruce Lee With AI

If you’re a film lover, one of the great things about old classics is that you can always find something to appreciate when you revisit them. If you’re a studio executive, one of the great things about old classics is that you own them and can milk them for every penny their worth. At the Shanghai International Film Festival, several Chinese movie studios announced on Thursday that they would be taking their archive of martial arts classics and AI-ifying them. The government-backed “Kung Fu Mov

Public/protected/private is an unnecessary feature

public/protected/private is an unnecessary feature Regular code using this interface works great: Users can write generic code that works for any Vehicle, and use a Car with that code. The implementer of Car can restrict users to only ever use Car instances through the Vehicle interface, by only allowing construction of Car instances through, for example, a function make_car with return type Vehicle. But the interface doesn't work with inheritance: Users cannot write a generic class that can i

Quantum Hardware Readiness for Two-Step Quantum Search Algorithm

The traveling salesman problem (TSP) has challenged computer scientists for decades. Finding the shortest route that visits all cities exactly once sounds simple, but it becomes computationally explosive as the number of destinations grows. With applications spanning logistics, manufacturing, and network optimization, any breakthrough in solving TSP efficiently could transform entire industries. A recent paper published in IEEE Transactions on Quantum Engineering by Rei Sato, Cui Gordon, Kazuhi

This ‘Large and Unstable’ Sunspot Just Slammed Earth With Its Strongest Flare Yet

An Earth-facing sunspot region has been raging with massive eruptions of hot gas that have caused disruptions to our communications systems—and there’s still more to come. On Tuesday at 5:49 p.m. ET, sunspot region 4114 released an X.12 class solar flare that caused a radio blackout over the Pacific Ocean, including Hawaii, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s Space Weather Prediction Center.
