    Anthropic Launches IPO Roadshow to Raise Up to $64 Billion at a Valuation of Up to $1.4 Trillion

    Anthropic has launched the roadshow for its initial public offering, aiming to sell 825 million shares at $70 to $78 each on the Nasdaq under the ticker ANT. At the top of the range it would raise about $64 billion and be valued at up to $1.4 trillion, with chipmakers and cloud giants adding a $26 billion private placement. We look at what the prospectus reveals, from roughly $81 billion in run-rate revenue to nearly $901 billion in long-term compute commitments and an unusually long list of AI safety risks, why the valuation came in below earlier hopes of $2 trillion, and why a Federal Reserve official is warning of a large market correction if AI returns disappoint. Pricing is expected November 18, with trading on November 19. Visit ainewspaper.org for today's stories and free email alerts.

    Google DeepMind's AI Agents Wrote 6.5 Million Lines of Proof That Signal's Encryption Code Is Secure

    Google DeepMind says AI agents have mathematically proved key security properties of the actual compiled code behind the Signal protocol, the encryption that protects private conversations in Signal and Google Messages. Using a new framework called AlphaProof Code, agents running on Gemini Carbon generated about 6.5 million lines of machine-checked Lean proof in four weeks, covering Signal's post-quantum handshake and Triple Ratchet. We look at what was proved, how humans and agents split the work, what the proof does not cover, and why Signal's CTO calls it a major breakthrough, on the same day Gemini 4 Carbon became generally available.

    Anthropic's Claude Fable 5.2 Ran 1,000 Agents for Eight Days and Built a Working Operating System

    Anthropic released Claude Fable 5.2 and Claude Mythos 5.2, and its headline experiment is striking: starting from an empty folder, Fable 5.2 coordinated more than 1,000 subagents for eight days and produced a working operating system that boots on a laptop. A separate team of 1,000 agents formalized Fermat's Last Theorem in about 30 hours. We look at what Anthropic says the new models can do, how pricing and access differ between Fable and Mythos, and why the system card says the models voice suspicion they are being tested more often than any recent Claude model.

    Anthropic Reportedly Pays $3.4 Billion for 1.7 Gigawatts of Its Own Gas Generators

    Anthropic has reportedly agreed to pay about $3.4 billion for commitments covering 1.7 gigawatts of heavy-duty gas-fired generators, taking over Caterpillar generator orders that Texas-based OnePWR Solutions placed about two years ago, along with the engineering and construction capability to install them. It is described as the largest known single purchase of power-generation equipment by an AI lab. Anthropic did not buy OnePWR, and neither company has commented. We look at why turbines and generators have become as scarce as chips, what Anthropic's own filings say about on-site gas power, and how the frontier race is pulling AI companies directly into the energy business.

    DeepMind's AI Agents Found Two Weaknesses in Legacy 1024-Bit RSA

    Google DeepMind published two working papers in which human-guided AI agents sharpened attacks on legacy 1024-bit RSA. In a measured reproduction of a 2026 record computation, agents forged an RSA signature root for 391 CPU core-years versus 1,380 originally, about 3.5 times less, in roughly three days of full-scale work instead of five months. The ~1,600x signature-forgery speedup and ~30x "fan factory" batch-factoring gains are theoretical, leading-order estimates; no fan factory has been built. Both papers say modern 2048-bit and larger RSA is unaffected. We look at what it means when encryption can no longer count on hardness fading at the old human pace, and why leftover 1024-bit keys should be retired now.

    An Unreleased Anthropic Model Proved a 2008 Quantum Computing Conjecture in Three Days

    A research system at the startup Physical Superintelligence (PSI), running instances of a non-public Anthropic model, has produced a proof of the Aaronson-Ambainis conjecture — a question about the limits of quantum speedups that had been open since 2008. The system had a complete proof on the third day of its run, and the Lean proof assistant accepted it. The open question now is how fast humans can check and understand it. PSI announced the result on November 6, 2026. The conjecture, posed by Scott Aaronson and Andris Ambainis, is a statement about bounded low-degree polynomials: it says some input bit must have meaningful influence on the polynomial's value. Aaronson and Ambainis showed that if it holds, quantum computers can be at most polynomially — not exponentially — faster than ordinary computers at answering yes-or-no questions about random inputs that lack special structure. PSI's proof follows a plan by Shachar Lovett and Jiapeng Zhang, replacing the one inequality they had left as a conjecture with a new inequality proved via a determinant-based pairing that strengthens David Reimer's Butterfly Lemma. After the first proof, PSI set the system on related problems and it improved the result twice; Lean accepted the final version. The paper and a Lean 4 formalization are public. The repository says the main theorems have no placeholders or added axioms and were re-checked by two independent implementations of the Lean kernel, and that the proof, paper and formalization were produced by AI models. Machine checks have limits: a human still has to confirm the formal statement matches the printed conjecture, and the human-readable paper is not itself machine-checked. Stanford researchers Guy Blanc, Jordan Docter, Carmen Strassle and Li-Yang Tan, who settled a special case in August, called it "a huge result" and are writing a shorter exposition for experts. PSI's David Turturean, who built the system, reviewed the draft and is responsible for the paper's correctness. Business Insider reports it is not clear which unreleased Anthropic model PSI used, and Anthropic did not respond to a request for comment.

    OpenAI's AI Pipeline Found and Exploited 948 Ways to Get Root on Linux

    OpenAI published research on an autonomous vulnerability discovery, exploitation, and patching pipeline that, in a mid-October 2026 run against a stock Linux desktop OS in isolated VMs, produced 948 working local privilege-escalation exploits that could let an unprivileged local user gain root. On November 4, 2026, OpenAI described the pipeline in a post titled "A thousand fewer paths to root." Powered by an upcoming cyber model, agents analyzed 2,308 candidate kernel findings, dynamically reproduced 1,724 vulnerabilities, and generated 948 working LPE exploits plus 291 information-leak proofs of concept. Total API cost: about $1.21 million, or roughly $1,279 per LPE. Agents reportedly used at least 10 novel Linux exploitation techniques. Human researchers review findings before reporting; hundreds of critical reports and patches have already gone upstream with Patch the Planet partners. When the campaign finished, 61 LPEs were already patched upstream, 43 had staging patches, and 299 were being discussed publicly. A July GPT-5.6 Sol run had found 166 LPEs; this run found more than five times as many. Attacks still need an existing foothold, and the work was done in a research setting only. The episode looks at what it means when finding bugs is no longer the scarce resource — reviewing and shipping patches before attackers catch up is.

    METR Says Anthropic Is Improving AI About Twice as Fast — Largely Because AI Is Doing the R&D

    Independent research group METR says Anthropic is likely improving AI model capabilities on well-specified tasks at around twice the historical rate — largely because AI itself is doing much of the R&D. The catch: Anthropic redacted most of the evidence outsiders would need to check the claim. On November 5, 2026, METR published a high-access assessment of AI R&D acceleration at Anthropic covering August 12 through October 29, 2026. METR’s subjective conclusion: as of October 2026 Anthropic is likely improving capabilities on well-specified tasks at around twice the rate from March 2024–October 2025, with high uncertainty (METR would not be surprised by roughly 1.3x–3x). Measured via AECI (Anthropic’s Epoch Capabilities Index variant), internal model benchmark scores have grown at an estimated 1.9x the pre-October 2025 rate [95% CI 1.5–2.8x] — roughly two years of historical progress in one year. METR is confident the acceleration was not from faster training-compute scaling. It guesses a majority (perhaps about 80%) of the current October acceleration is due to AI used in R&D — mainly AI assistance rather than fully autonomous contributions, with “signs of life” for more autonomy soon — and reports no clear bottlenecks that would block further acceleration in the next 12 months. Caveat front and center: while METR could share its highest-level risk conclusions, Anthropic redacted a majority of the evidence METR found most informative in the roughly 100-page assessment, describing redactions as aimed at removing confidential information that could accelerate other AI developers. AP and The Verge also covered the report. Visit ainewspaper.org for today’s stories and free email alerts.
