Anthropic Tightens AI Safety Rules Amid Rising Threats:
Anthropic has updated Claude’s usage policy to respond to growing safety threats. The changes specifically ban high-yield explosives and CBRN weapons development. At the same time, the company refined rules around cybersecurity and political content.
Things to Know:
Specific Weapons Banned: Anthropic’s new policy now explicitly prohibits using Claude to produce high-yield explosives and CBRN (chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear) weapons. This strengthens the prior broader ban on weapon-related misuse.
Cybersecurity Protections: A new “Do Not Compromise Computer or Network Systems” section disallows vulnerability exploitation, malware creation, or enabling cyberattacks. This reflects growing concern over autonomous misuse.
Political Content Adjustments: Anthropic has relaxed political content rules to focus only on manipulative or deceptive campaigning—rather than banning all political content outright. This narrows the scope to threats against democratic integrity.
This update brings clarity and stronger protections amid evolving AI risks. The company clarified that high-risk use case requirements apply only to consumer-facing scenarios and not to business use—making policies more targeted and practical.
ChatGPT Mobile App Hits $2B Revenue Milestone:
ChatGPT’s mobile app has hit $2 billion in consumer spending since its 2023 launch. It now earns $2.91 per install globally, with U.S. installs generating $10 each. This growth highlights AI’s mainstream adoption and mobile dominance.
Things to Know:
Revenue Milestone: OpenAI’s ChatGPT app has outperformed all competitors, generating $2 billion in spending. That’s 30 times more than Claude, Copilot, and Grok combined.
Install Value Breakdown: Each ChatGPT install earns $2.91 globally, with U.S. installs reaching $10. Claude follows at $2.55, while Grok and Copilot trail far behind.
Download Explosion: ChatGPT has been downloaded 690 million times worldwide. India leads with 13.7% of installs, while the U.S. contributes 10.3%.
The app has racked up an estimated 690 million global installs, dwarfing Grok’s 39.5 million. Average monthly installs are now at about 45 million—a 180% increase over early 2024. India leads in downloads (13.7%), followed by the U.S. (10.3%).
Open-Source AI Models Cost More, Study Found:
Open-source AI models may look cheaper upfront, but a new study reveals they burn more compute. That means higher long-term costs and slower performance. Businesses need to rethink their model choices before scaling AI.
Things to Know:
Token Usage Matters: Open models use 1.5 to 4 times more tokens than closed ones for the same tasks. This leads to more compute usage and longer response times.
Cost vs. Efficiency: Despite lower per-token costs, open models can be more expensive per query. The extra tokens offset hosting savings and increase latency.
Closed Models Win on Speed: Closed models like OpenAI’s and Grok-4 are optimized for fewer tokens. They deliver faster results with less computational strain.
Some open models, like GPT-OSS, show promise in token efficiency. But others, like Magistral, lag behind and need major improvements. Choosing the right AI model isn’t just about price—it’s about performance and scalability.
