what is claude code

Samuel Boivin/NurPhoto via Getty Images Earlier this year, the head of Anthropic’s blockbuster Claude Code AI agent Boris Cherny boasted that “pretty much 100 percent” of the entire company’s code is AI-generated. “For me personally, it has been 100 percent for two plus months now, I don’t even make small edits by hand,” he tweeted at the time. But the glaring cybersecurity implications of giving an AI agent full access over a computer to carry out complex

Sven Hoppe/picture alliance via Getty Images OpenAI made headlines this year after announcing it was giving up on what one exec categorized as distracting “side quests,” including its Sora text-to-video app, to double down on enterprise and coding, which are lucrative revenue drivers that could stop the company from hemorrhaging billions of dollars a quarter. Many saw the moves as an effort to catch up with competitor Anthropic, whose Claude Code and Claud

The U.S. National Security Agency (NSA), Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), and the FBI all released a statement on Tuesday accusing China-based AI companies of “Industrial-Scale Distillation Campaigns Against U.S. AI Companies.” “Likely with Chinese government awareness, DeepSeek, Moonshot AI, Alibaba, MiniMax, StepFun, and Z.AI extracted billions of tokens across millions of exchanges/requests from U.S. frontier AI models, including

In the past 24 hours, Silicon Valley has erupted in bitter debate over what may seem from the outside to be an esoteric, trivial issue: the solution to a longstanding math problem which, despite its importance among academics, doesn’t have any clear practical applications. And yet it raises urgent new questions about the nature of competition—not only between humans, but also between humans and machines—in the age of AI. On Tuesday morning, OpenAI publishe

Getty / Futurism The advent of large language model-based writing tools have given lazy or unconfident writers incredible new shortcuts that can spit out everything from glossy work emails to crispy school papers. The problem, of course, is that bosses and teachers around the world quickly got wise to the phenomenon — and as a result, any text that feels too tidy and polished has started to arouse suspicion. Now, in an effort to reintroduce some of the mes

Of course, everyone has already heard about the latest wave of Claude blocks, which hit users from our regions at the beginning of October and are still ongoing. My Max license flew off exactly a day before payment, and I didn't even realize what was going on at first, so I went to check the balance on my cherished card. But the balance remained untouched.
