Anthropic weighs new AI model as OpenAI gains enterprise ground

indianexpress.com

Anthropic is considering releasing a new AI model to counter OpenAI's growing enterprise traction, following CEO Dario Amodei's call for an industrywide slowdown in AI development over safety concerns, according to three sources. The potential launch comes ahead of an expected IPO and amid competitive pressure from OpenAI's GPT-6 Astra, released this month, which has gained significant business adoption. Amodei wrote a September 12 essay urging slower capability improvements, warning of AI agents outpacing human control, drawing support from OpenAI CEO Sam Altman and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk. Anthropic's annualised revenue run rate topped $65 billion by end of July, up from about $9 billion at end of 2025, while OpenAI's passed $40 billion in July. Investors note open-source models and Meta's internal AI development pose broader challenges, though Anthropic declined to comment on the story.
