Lutnick: Anthropic is "back on the right side" with Trump administration CHAPEL HILL, N.C. — Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick said the Trump administration now trusts Anthropic following months of clashes with the AI company.Why it matters: The statement marks a remarkable turnaround in a relationship strained by a bitter fight over national security and AI safeguards. What theyre saying: Asked if he trusts Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei, Lutnick told Axios Mike Allen: "We trust Anthropic." "Theyve done what we asked. Theyre back on the right side. So the answer is: Yes," Lutnick said in an interview on Tuesday.The big picture: The declaration comes as Anthropic co-founder Tom Brown takes a more prominent role in the companys relationship with the White House, including a headlining spot at this weeks G20 Innovation Ministerial. "Really excited for our conversation, so Id like to introduce you all to Tom Brown, one of the founders of Anthropic," Lutnick said on Wednesday to a room full of G20 ministers. Lutnick kicked off the discussion offering Brown an opportunity to introduce himself to an international audience: "I dont think they know you so well. Anthropic, of course, is famous, but a little story helps."What theyre saying: Brown praised President Trumps pro-data center post on Truth Social this week. "I really love Trumps post from earlier this week... where he was pointing out that the data centers are just an enormous source of prosperity," Brown said."They produce a ton of jobs. They produce taxes. Now the way that we design them, we actually bring on more power to the grid," he said. Brown also highlighted Anthropics support for the administrations ratepayer pledge.Between the lines: Industry knows aligning with the Trump administration goes a long way for policy priorities. Catch up quick: Personality differences added fuel to the fire in a clash between the Trump administration and Anthropic earlier this year that resulted in sweeping export controls on the companys most advanced models.Brown was instrumental in patching up the relationship, holding multiple conversations with Lutnick and National Cyber Director Sean Cairncross.A federal judge in August, meanwhile, struck down the Pentagons blacklisting of Anthropic as a supply-chain risk, ruling that the governments actions violated Anthropics constitutional rights.The company is also fighting a separate Pentagon designation under a different statute in the D.C. Circuit.The bottom line: Brown offers a reset for a company once on the outs with the White House.

Clusters encore for reentry science a success The Cluster mission danced its final dance as Tango reentered the atmosphere on 1 September, at 23:30:31 CEST. The end of the Cluster mission in 2024 turned into the start of the reentry data collection campaign. After four targeted reentries, this is now a proven method of safe end-of-life disposal. It also enabled the repeated observation of the reentries by a plane full of scientists, creating a unique reentry data set that will improve our understanding of the destructive process and can inform the design of safer and more sustainable satellites in the future.

Qué sabemos sobre que la empresa Anthropic esté triturando miles y miles de libros para entrenar a Claude, su IA En agosto de 2024, un grupo de autores demandó a Anthropic alegando que la empresa de inteligencia artificial (IA) había infringido sus derechos de autor al utilizar sus libros para entrenar a Claude, su modelo de lenguaje de gran tamaño. Los contenidos que circulan aseguran que esto forma parte del Proyecto Panamá, un proyecto secreto de la compañía: según documentos internos, esta iniciativa sí existe y la propia compañía lo describe como el esfuerzo por escanear de forma destructiva todos los libros del mundo. No queremos que se sepa que estamos trabajando en esto, señalan en los documentos. En la decisión del juez sobre el caso, se indica que la empresa invirtió millones de dólares en la compra de millones de libros impresos. Sus proveedores retiraron las encuadernaciones, cortaron las páginas y las digitalizaron, desechando las originales. La compañía también descargó millones de libros pirateados y los almacenó en una biblioteca central, con la intención de conservar "todos los libros del mundo para siempre. El juez dictó una sentencia a favor de Anthropic, determinando que existía un uso legítimo de los libros comprados protegidos por derechos de autor. Sin embargo, también concluyó que no tenía derecho a utilizar copias pirateadas para su biblioteca central. En septiembre de 2025, las partes llegaron a un acuerdo en el que Anthropic accedió a pagar 1.500 millones de dólares (unos 1.296 millones de euros) a los autores por usar los libros pirateados.

OpenAI calls Astra its most dangerous model yet - watching what it does is only getting harder OpenAI is officially rating its upcoming Astra model as the first system with "critical" cyber capabilities. The company plans to keep it in check by monitoring the chain of thought. Problem is, that monitoring already counts as an unreliable mirror of a models real decisions, and according to a report, Astras new architecture pushes even more of its thinking into the unreadable. So the safety net might be getting weaker just as the capabilities jump.
