The “Oh wow, this is going to change everything” moments I’ve had as a user of technology:

-first time using college broadband
-getting a Gmail account
-getting an iPhone
-first time in a Waymo
-the last month of using Claude products

Behind Anthropic's stunning growth is a sibling team that may hold the key to generative AI Daniela Amodei has helped build Anthropic into a serious AI player by betting on safety and enterprise adoption.

Claude Code and What Comes Next With the right tools, AI can accomplish impressive things

I wrote about Claude Code and why non-coders should be paying attention (and playing with the system) - it shows what today’s LLMs can do

Along the way I had Claude launch a business for me & build a game that simulates the rise and fall of civilizations. open.substack.com/pub/oneusefu...

Preparing for AI’s economic impact: exploring policy responses Anthropic is an AI safety and research company that's working to build reliable, interpretable, and steerable AI systems.

We’re sharing several economic policy ideas that we think merit further study — some from our Economic Advisory Council, others from presenters at our September Economic Futures Symposium @mccourtschool.bsky.social. Feedback is welcome! www.anthropic.com/research/eco...

“It may sound overly simplistic, but making predictions by extrapolating straight lines on graphs is likely to give you a better model of the future than most ’experts’ - even better than most actual domain experts!”

The Anthropic Economic Index now covers geographic and 1P API data.

We’re releasing new research, open source datasets, and an interactive website to explore AI usage across the world.

Anthropic's Alex Tamkin and Kunal Handa present their paper "Which Economic Tasks are Performed with AI? Evidence from Millions of Claude Conversations" at the 2025 NBER Summer Institute.

Great questions and feedback for @alextamkin.bsky.social and @kunalhanda.bsky.social at this month's @nber.org Summer Institute. Kunal and Alex were in town to present arxiv.org/abs/2503.04761
Send ideas for research on (and policy responses for) AI x Economics to: www.anthropic.com/economic-fut...

Alex Tamkin: Which Economic Tasks are Performed with AI? On May 19, 2025, Alex Tamkin, research scientist at Anthropic, will stop by the lab for our seminar series.

This Monday 5/19, @alextamkin.bsky.social of @anthropic.com will stop by the Lab for our seminar series!

New @jackclarksf.bsky.social interview on the "Conversations with Tyler" podcast out today. Covers a ton of ground on AI- from its impact on the economy to agents and people's attachment to AI. Take a listen here: conversationswithtyler.com/episodes/jac...

Anthropic Economic Index: AI's impact on software development Data on how software developers are using Claude

New findings from the @anthropic.com Economic Index on coding use cases include: “Startups are the main early adopters of Claude Code, while enterprises lag behind.” More here: www.anthropic.com/research/imp...

Really proud and excited to release work on empirically measuring AI values “in the wild” — understanding, analyzing and taxonomizing what values guide model outputs in real interactions with real users.

@alextamkin.bsky.social in @washingtonpost.com today re: Claude usage we're seeing in occupation-linked tasks from our @anthropic.com Economic Index research: www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

I'm here in DC today to talk about Anthropic's Economic Index research on AI and work on a panel moderated by @ashleyrgold.bsky.social at AEI.

Come join in-person or tune in virtually: www.aei.org/events/ai-an...

"Claude 3.7, do the AGI unicorn thing in the PDF but make it like 10x more impressive to really show those sparks, don't limit yourself to TikZ or even images"

(I pasted in the Sparks of AGI paper). Here is what it did

Been using Claude 3.7 for a couple days and it is very, very good.

Its "vibe coding" from language is impressive. I wrote a whole Substack post about the model (& Grok 3).

Here's a one-shot prompted game based on the Melville story “Bartleby the Scrivener” www.oneusefulthing.org/p/a-new-gene...

Exclusive: Anthropic mines its data on real AI use The research shows more users collaborating with AI than automating tasks.

In case you missed the launch of Anthropic's new Economic Index, here's a great summary from Axios highlighting the primary takeaways:

How is AI being used across the economy?

We have some new research and datasets to share:

There is a lot of important stuff in this new paper by Anthropic that shows how people are actually using Claude.
1) The tasks that people are asking AI to do are some of the highest-value (& often intellectually challenging)
2) Adoption is uneven, but many highly compensated fields already are high

I'm very excited about this initiative and in particular the contributions of @beckerfriedman.bsky.social scholars especially Anders Humlum, as well as Michael Kremer
@devinnovationlab.bsky.social and John List @johnlist.bsky.social. More to come!
