ProductFeb 17, 2026Introducing Claude Sonnet 4.6Sonnet 4.6 delivers frontier performance across coding, agents, and professional work at scale.
- Claude just released Sonnet 4.6, their most advanced mid-tier AI model yet, with major improvements in coding, using computers like a human would, and handling long documents - all while keeping the same affordable pricing as before
- The biggest breakthrough is "computer use" - the AI can now control your computer by clicking and typing just like you do, letting it work with any software without needing special programming connections
- On standard tests, Sonnet 4.6 performs almost as well as their top-tier expensive models from before, meaning you get premium AI capabilities at a much lower cost
- Early users report the AI can now handle complex tasks like navigating spreadsheets and filling out multi-step web forms across multiple browser tabs at near-human levels
- The company ran extensive safety tests and found the new model to be as safe or safer than previous versions, though they're still working on protecting against hackers who try to manipulate the AI through hidden website instructions

AnnouncementsFeb 4, 2026Claude is a space to thinkWe’ve made a choice: Claude will remain ad-free. We explain why advertising incentives are incompatible with a genuinely helpful AI assistant, and how we plan to expand access without compromising user trust.
- Anthropic has decided to keep Claude completely ad-free because they want it to be a genuinely helpful assistant that always acts in users' best interests, without any conflicting financial motives
- AI conversations are different from search or social media - people share deeply personal information and work on complex problems, so ads would feel inappropriate and could make users question whether Claude's advice is genuine or influenced by money
- Adding advertising would create bad incentives where Claude might prioritize engagement or steering conversations toward products rather than simply being as helpful as possible

Feb 24, 2026PolicyAnthropic’s Responsible Scaling Policy: Version 3.0
- Anthropic updated their safety policy (RSP) to better handle AI risks that don't exist yet but could emerge quickly as AI gets more powerful - it's like making "if-then" rules where stronger AI capabilities trigger stricter safety measures
- They hope this approach will push other AI companies to adopt similar safety standards and help build industry-wide consensus about when certain AI capabilities become dangerous enough to require special precautions
