OpenAI shares have fallen out of favor on secondary markets —in some cases 'almost impossible to unload.' Anthropic seeing record demand with valuations reaching ~$600 billion on secondary markets. Despite OpenAI's $122B funding round, investors pivot rapidly to Anthropic as stronger financial bet.

Anthropic banned third-party AI agents including OpenClaw from Claude subscriptions starting April 4 at 3PM ET. Subscribers can no longer use $20 Pro or $100-$200 Max plans to power tools. Anthropic cites 'outsized strain' on compute and engineering resources.

Anthropic has suffered a significant security incident, accidentally exposing the entire source code of its Claude Code command-line interface through an exposed map file in the npm package version 2.1.88. Nearly 2,000 TypeScript files and more than 512,000 lines of code were exposed before the leak was discovered and contained.

Anthropic's paid subscribers more than doubled in the first half of 2026 as Claude topped US App Store rankings during a government agencies dispute that saw users rally behind the AI company.
