AMD will invest up to $5 billion in Anthropic and supply up to 2 gigawatts of Instinct MI450 GPUs via its Helios system, with the first gigawatt arriving in the first half of 2027. The deal also launches a multi-year engineering collaboration that brings Claude into AMD’s development workflows.
AMD will integrate Anthropic’s Claude model into its own software development, engineering, and product development processes.
Reports indicate it could also reach an agreement with Meta.

The Circuitry is a passion project I've always wanted to build, and I love the work behind it.
Running it costs real money. APIs, hosting, time. To keep improving the site and growing this into something useful for everyone, those costs have to be covered.
Any contribution is appreciated. If not, no pressure. Thanks for reading.
Anthropic has launched the Anthropic Cyber Mission to support defenders of critical infrastructure and open-source software with models, engineers, and tools. The initiative starts with the Critical Infrastructure Defense Program and free OSS Scanner amid ongoing challenges in verifying and fixing vulnerabilities.
Anthropic released Claude Haiku 5.5, its cheapest and fastest small model, at $0.10 per million input tokens and $0.50 per million output tokens for prompts up to 100,000 tokens. Anthropic says it costs around 75% less to run than Haiku 4.5 on average and scores far higher on its benchmarks.
OpenAI released 722 mathematical manuscripts, grouped into 372 result families, produced by an unreleased internal model. The papers are on GitHub, with Lean formalizations for many but not all of them, and OpenAI warns some unformalized results could have issues.
Meta and Microsoft are cutting employee use of Anthropic’s Claude AI and directing staff toward their own coding tools, The Information reported. The changes reflect tighter internal AI budgets while customer access to Claude through Microsoft platforms continues to expand.
Microsoft has introduced a local edition of MAI-Code-1.1-Flash that runs on Windows PCs without server access. The model requires substantial memory and is coming to GitHub Copilot in experimental preview by the end of October, starting with Nvidia RTX Spark PCs.
