Anthropic’s chief science officer Jared Kaplan spoke to TechCrunch at the time about revoking Windsurf’s access to Claude, saying, “I think it would be odd for us to be selling Claude to OpenAI.”

A day before cutting off OpenAI’s access to the Claude API, Anthropic announced new rate limits on Claude Code, its AI-powered coding tool, citing explosive usage and, in some cases, violations of its terms of service.

Anthropic’s chief science officer Jared Kaplan spoke to TechCrunch at the time about revoking Windsurf’s access to Claude, saying, “I think it would be odd for us to be selling Claude to OpenAI.” A day before cutting off OpenAI’s access to the Claude API, Anthropic announced new rate limits on Claude Code, its AI-powered coding tool, citing explosive usage and, in some cases, violations of its terms of service.

This is also a familiar move: Last month, Anthropic restricted the AI coding startup Windsurf’s direct access to its models after it was rumored OpenAI was set to acquire it. (That deal fell through). www.wired.com/story/anthro...

“Claude Code has become the go-to choice for coders everywhere, and so it was no surprise to learn OpenAI's own technical staff were also using our coding tools ahead of the launch of GPT-5,” Anthropic spokesperson Christopher Nulty said in a statement to WIRED. “Unfortunately, this is a direct violation of our terms of service.”

According to Anthropic’s commercial terms of service, customers are barred from using the service to “build a competing product or service, including to train competing AI models” or “reverse engineer or duplicate” the services. This change in OpenAI’s access to Claude comes as the ChatGPT-maker is reportedly preparing to release a new AI model, GPT-5, which is rumored to be better at coding.

This one is important for me: "Don't write to my level of ignorance but sometimes remember that I, and I suspect maybe a few like me, are out here. Thank you."

It's easy to be in the bubble but most of the world isn't. Really hope my work continues to translate it all.

We included a survey for MB subscribers and I just got done reading all the notes. Sob! Cry! Ah!!!

Thank you to everyone for the kind notes, the feedback on what they want to see from me, and more.

This was the most chilling reply: "Keep writing until AI destroys the world."

Sources Say

OpenAI is tinkering with a personality picker for ChatGPT, according to multiple sources. The idea is to train a persona, or a set of vibes, into the model and let users choose which mode they want to interact with. I’m personally hoping for something that isn’t abysmal at writing, and I could be in luck—I’m also hearing an upcoming model from this lab will perform very well in that department. OpenAI declined my request for comment.

Now one inventor is going even further, injecting cancer patients with highly-concentrated doses of the bleach solution.

A close-up of hands showing off a playful and bold Beyoncé-themed manicure. Each nail features a unique design, including red, white, and blue stars, comic-style bursts with words like “COWBOY” and “CARTER,” silver shimmer, cow print, and graphic text. The overall look is inspired by Beyoncé’s Cowboy Carter era, blending pop-art flair with western motifs.

I read the transcript of your discussion Anthropic's Claude. While the content was interesting, the constant devolving of conversation with the insertion of the word "like"
was annoying and frankly, unworthy of Journalists.
