Satya Nadella says Anthropic’s Claude Fable restrictions ‘don’t make sense’ | Technology News

Published by Parlour News

4 min readNew DelhiJul 17, 2026 09:02 AM IST Microsoft CEO, Satya Nadella, has criticised Anthropic over its limits on user requests to its high-end artificial intelligence (AI) model Claude Fable. The CEO, on Wednesday, said that the limits ‘don’t make sense’. According to a CNBC report, Nadella told software engineers working on Microsoft’s Copilot AI that Anthropic’s restrictions reminded him of “the last time we had a creation tool that was so editorially controlled.” Nadella’s comments appeared to target Anthropic’s policy that restricts users from accessing outputs from its latest AI model, Claude Fable, to train or improve competing AI models. This practice is known as model distillation. Reportedly, when end users ask Fable about aspects needed to create large-scale models, Anthropic returned responses from an older model, as per its support page. Some users have taken to social media to express their displeasure. A user, Derya Unutmaz whose bio claims to be immunologist, shared a post on X with a screenshot showing how the model shifted to Opus 4.8 version when he asked …

Publishers sue Google over use of copyrighted books for AI training | Books and Literature News

2 min readJul 15, 2026 10:08 PM IST A group of major publishers has sued Google, alleging the company illegally used millions of copyrighted books to train its Gemini artificial intelligence models, according to a report by Emma Loffhagen in The Guardian. The lawsuit, filed in federal court in New York, was brought by Hachette Book Group, Cengage Learning, and Elsevier, along with bestselling author Scott Turow, who is known for his legal thrillers. The Guardian reported that the complaint describes the alleged conduct as “one of the most prolific infringements of copyrighted materials in history.” According to the report, the publishers argue Google repurposed books originally supplied for limited services such as Google Books, Google Play Books, and Google Scholar. Those arrangements permitted narrow uses such as displaying searchable snippets or selling ebooks, but not, the suit claims, copying works to train commercial AI products. The filing further alleges Google was internally aware of the legal risk, having flagged potential fines in the “$10Bs-$100Bs” range tied to using publisher-supplied texts without authorization. The publishers …

ChatGPT Work has been designed to assist users in completing complex professional tasks like coding, research, document creation, website building, and presentations, all from a single interface. The latest announcement from OpenAI is also its biggest push yet to place ChatGPT as a productivity platform instead of a conversational chatbot. The new GPT-5.6 comes in three variants, namely Sol, Terra, and Luna, and each of these models comes with different performance, speed, and cost. The Sam Altman-led company claims that the models deliver improvements in reasoning, coding, scientific problem-solving and agentic capabilities; at the same time, they allow developers and enterprises to choose between speed, intelligence and efficiency. The company also said GPT-5.6 is now the preferred model powering Microsoft 365 Copilot.

Crypto mining companies are quickly changing their business models to become AI data center companies because artificial intelligence is creating huge demand for powerful computing infrastructure. Crypto mining firms like TeraWulf and Anthropic are driving the shift to AI (REUTERS/Dado Ruvic/Illustration//File Photo) (REUTERS) One of the biggest examples is Anthropic, which has signed a 20-year lease with TeraWulf to use a new AI data center in Hawesville, Kentucky, as per the official TeraWulf press release. The lease is expected to generate around $19 billion in revenue for TeraWulf during the initial 20-year period, making it one of the company’s biggest long-term deals.

The campus will provide around 401 megawatts (MW) of computing power for AI workloads, which is enough to support very large AI systems. The project will be built in different phases instead of all at once. The first phase is expected to begin delivering power during the …

Anthropic Adds Brand Controls, Code Sync to Claude Design

Anthropic Adds Brand Controls, Code Sync to Claude Design

Published by Webster

AI-generated designs can move fast, but businesses still need them to adhere to brand rules, align with approved components, and survive the handoff to development. Anthropic announced a major Claude Design update on June 17 that adds design system imports, tighter Claude Code integration, direct canvas editing, and more export options. The beta product is available to Claude Pro, Max, Team, and Enterprise customers. The update could make it more useful for teams that need AI-generated assets to fit existing workflows and move from prototype to production with less rework. It moves Claude Design closer to a governed workspace for design, product, and development teams, rather than a tool for quick mockups alone. Claude Design adds design system imports Anthropic said Claude Design can now import one or more design systems from GitHub repositories, design files, or raw uploads. Once imported, Claude builds with those components, checks its output against the design system, and makes corrections before users see the result. “Our goal remains the same as before: letting you explore more directions than a …

OpenAI files for US IPO after Anthropic as AI giants head to public markets | World News

Published by Parlour News

ChatGPT maker OpenAI confidentially filed for a US initial public offering recently, the company said on Monday, joining rival Anthropic in a push toward the stock market as investors seek exposure to the artificial intelligence boom. OpenAI did not disclose the size or terms of the offering, and said a timeline has not yet been determined. “It may be a while because there are things we want to do that are likely easier as a private company,” it said in a statement. Reuters had reported that the AI giant is targeting a valuation of up to $1 trillion in a stock market debut that could come as early as September.

Elon Musk’s SpaceX was the first off the block, filing for an IPO that would rank as the largest in history if completed, with the company pursuing a …
