- Week of August 10-16, 20262,832 wordsRead ↗The price cut was not the move. The price cut was the announcement that there would be no move. Sonnet 5 launched at $2 per million tokens input, $10 per million output. On August 10, Anthropic confirmed those numbers are permanent. A September 1 increase to $3 per million had been scheduled. That increase is canceled.

- Week of May 4-10, 20262,012 wordsRead ↗CPO Ami Vora opened "Code with Claude 2026" at 09:00 PT on Wednesday in San Francisco with a line that should have cued the crowd: "This event is about how we are making our products work better for you." No keynote model reveal. What the stage delivered instead was a set of agentic features that Anthropic has apparently been running internally long enough to build confidence in.
