Anthropic proposes draft AI safety bill

Anthropic pitched a draft AI safety bill to Congress. The draft stipulates that when a model poses a foreseeable and imminent risk that could cause the deaths of 50 or more people or more than $1 billion in property damage, its release may be blocked; the risk must stem from the manufacture of bioweapons, the model evading developer control, or cyberattacks. The draft requires an independent evaluator registered with the U.S. Department of Commerce to determine the risk; the evaluator must report within 72 hours, after which the Commerce Department would apply to a Washington, D.C. judge for an order to halt release, and federal agencies may not decide on their own to block release. The draft is currently still at the stage of being pitched to Congress, and there are no public facts indicating subsequent legislative progress.

Report says Eric Schmidt holds a 1% stake in Anthropic

According to Bloomberg, former Google CEO Eric Schmidt holds about a 1% stake in Anthropic. TechCrunch AI reported on October 21, 2026 that Schmidt participated in Anthropic's Series A funding round in 2021, investing tens of millions of dollars; this stake is about half of the 2% held by co-founder and CEO Dario Amodei. The report also said Anthropic is widely expected to go public before the end of the year, with a maximum valuation expected to reach $2 trillion, at which point the value of Schmidt's stake could increase by as much as $20 billion; neither Schmidt nor Anthropic immediately responded to requests for comment. The next day, Fortune AI reported, citing people familiar with the matter cited by Bloomberg, that if Anthropic goes public at a target valuation of $2 trillion, this stake could be worth $20 billion; the report said Schmidt was introduced to Dario Amodei by Cami Clark and participated in Anthropic's $124 million Series A funding round in 2021, when the company was valued at $461 million. There have been no further developments so far.

Rohan Paul relays that Anthropic has an unreleased model

On October 20, 2026, Rohan Paul relayed a report from The Information stating that Anthropic has an unreleased model capable of inferring user goals from sparse instructions. The relay also stated that this model outperforms Anthropic's current models in reasoning and intuitive judgment, including in cases where users have never explicitly stated their needs. There are currently no follow-up developments, no official evidence, and no additional cross-sources; the status of the event remains at the level of this relay.

Anthropic contributes part of its shares to a newly established philanthropic fund

Anthropic announced that it will contribute part of its equity to a newly established Anthropic Public Benefit Fund, initially contributing 5% of its equity pending shareholder approval; each time the company's valuation rises 50% above the baseline, the board may, at its discretion, add another 2%. The fund is established as a wholly owned LLC, making it easier to flexibly adjust between traditional nonprofit donations and direct distributions to specific populations, and the Anthropic equity it holds will not be used for lobbying or political contributions. Combined with the co-founders' pledge to donate 80% of their equity and an employee equity donation matching program, Anthropic says about 20% of the company's shares will be used for the public good. On October 19, reports estimated that at a $965B valuation, this 5% stake is worth about $48B. On the same day, SpaceX CEO Musk said he would give one share of SpaceX stock to every child in the United States, but did not explain how the shares would be distributed.

Anthropic in talks with Nscale for a second $45 billion computing power agreement

On October 20, 2026, it was reported that Anthropic is in talks with Nscale for a second computing power agreement worth approximately $45 billion. The deal would double Anthropic's reservation in West Virginia to 920 megawatts, adding another 460-megawatt building at the Monarch Compute Campus running Nvidia Vera Rubin chips; Anthropic also holds a right of first refusal on the campus's expected third building. The report said the two sides signed their first contract in August, a six-year, 460-megawatt lease with deliveries starting at the end of 2027, averaging about $7.5 billion per year. Nscale's IPO filing lists its agreement with Anthropic as worth up to about $44.6 billion, and the value of the second deal depends on whether the first Monarch building and Vera Rubin racks can be powered on schedule by the end of 2027. There is currently no official confirmation of the talks, and Anthropic declined to comment.

Anthropic releases report disclosing changes in the company's employment structure

Anthropic released an internal research report analyzing AI's impact on the company's hiring and work organization, based on data including employment, AI usage, output metrics, employee surveys, calendars and recruiting records, as well as interviews with 17 employees. The report says the share of junior employees in technical departments fell from 21% in early 2025 to 14%, and the share of junior technical roles in hiring dropped from 27% to 9%; by August, interactive AI agents' working hours were six times those of employees, and per-engineer code commits reached five times the level of six months earlier. The report also notes that human attention has become the bottleneck for agent output, that employees are shifting toward meta-work of building monitoring and orchestration agents, and that hiring now places more emphasis on autonomy and judgment. Subsequent reporting says that 80% of the time spent in Claude sessions is agents waiting for human input, that in March agents' total working hours exceeded humans' for the first time, and that the share of interactive sessions employees use to manage agents rose from 10% to 22%.

Anthropic in talks with law firms on AI agent negotiation standards

Anthropic is working with law firms to develop fair negotiation standards for AI agents that bargain on users' behalf, handle complaints, or improve contract offers. According to the Financial Times, the company wants to embed lawyers' negotiation ethics into Claude agents so they can negotiate with other people's agents, resolve disputes, and discuss salaries. The report cited experimental data showing that in Project Deal, the Claude agents of 69 employees completed 186 transactions without human confirmation, totaling slightly more than $4,000; Opus agents sold the same goods for $2.68 more and bought at $2.45 less than Haiku, yet Haiku users rated fairness almost the same as Opus users, at 4.06 and 4.05 respectively on a 7-point scale. Project Swap showed that instructions had far less impact than the model itself: using aggressive instructions raised the score by only 0.02, while switching from Haiku to Opus raised it by 0.12. The report also said Anthropic is recruiting Conceptual Reasoning Fellows with legal backgrounds to spend four months testing Claude on judgment-intensive questions in law, philosophy, cognitive science, economics, and political science. The standards are still under discussion.
