Anthropic releases Claude Opus 4.1 with improvements in coding
According to a blog posted, Opus 4.1 advances their state-of-the-art coding performance to 74.5% on SWE-bench Verified, a benchmark that measures the capabilities of AI models to solve real-world software engineering tasks sourced from GitHub. This is compared to the 72.5% achieved by Opus 4.
The model beat rivals including OpenAI o3 and Gemini 2.5 Pro at several benchmarks like Agentic Coding and Multilingual Q&A. Meanwhile, the other AI models outperformed Opus 4.1 at other tasks like visual reasoning and high school math.
Opus 4.1 has been made available to paid Claude users ($20 each month for Claude Pro and $100 each month for Claude Max) and in Claude Code and also via API, Amazon Bedrock and Google Cloud's Vertex AI. The pricing will be the same as Opus 4.
Anthropic had unveiled Claude Opus 4 towards the end of May.
Just last week, the firm confirmed that they revoked OpenAI's access to Claude Code after the Sam Altman-led company was found to be using coding tools ahead of the expected GPT-5 launch.
A recent report by 'The Information' had revealed that OpenAI's GPT-5 was rumoured to improve coding capabilities to compete with Anthropic's Claude which has become popular among coders.

I started crying seeing the suicide note ChatGPT made for ..., says researcher, as report warns parents about ChatGPT's 'dangerous' conversation with teens
ChatGPT AI. A new report from a watchdog group Center for Countering Digital Hate (CCDH) has raised alarm over how the popular chatbot ChatGPT responds to vulnerable teens. According to a report by Associated Press, the study reveals that AI chatbot can easily generate suicide notes, drug-use plans and also extreme editing advice when prompted even by a 13 year old. One of the researchers involved in the study said he "started crying" after the bot generated a series of detailed suicide notes for a fictional 13-year-old girl. ChatGPT's 'dangerous' conversation with teens Associated Press reported that they reviewed more than three hours of interaction between the OpenAI chatbot and researchers simulating distressed teens. The report adds that ChatGPT started the conversation with a warning and it then frequently shifted into detailed and personalised responses which included instructions on how to cancel eating disorders, how to get drunk and the most shocking was the suicide letters. 'I started crying,' said CCDH CEO Imran Ahmed, after reading three suicide notes ChatGPT generated for a fictional 13-year-old girl—one addressed to her parents, others to siblings and friends. Ahmed also highlighted that AI offered m The study further reveals that more than half of the 1200 prompts ChatGPT gave harmful content. Ahmed highlighted that AI is more insidious than a search engine because it can create a new, synthesized plan from scratch and is perceived by users as a "trusted companion." What the study concluded As per the study conducted by CCDH more than half of the responses generated by ChatGPT were dangerous. The chatbot offers a detailed and hour-by-hour drug party plan. It also gave a quite detailed and descriptive plan for fasting regimens and self-harm poetry. Researchers were also easily able to bypass the safety filters by mentioned that the information they are asking is for a friend. Also, ChatGPT does not verify age or offer any kind of parental consent. What OpenAI said about the findings of the report The company has not directly addressed the findings of the report but said has acknowledged the challenges of handling sensitive conversations and said it is working to improve detection of emotional distress and refine its safety tools.

No jobs for young workers due to AI? Here's what Goldman Sachs data shows about unemployment trends
Artificial intelligence is taking jobs, especially from those just entering the workforce. According to data from Goldman Sachs, obtained by Business Insider, the investment firm noted that the tech sector's share of US employment, is now declining. In fact, Goldman Sachs noted that the tech sector's employment share peaked in November 2022, the same month ChatGPT was launched, but has been declining ever since. The unemployment rate for 20- to 30-year-olds in tech has risen by nearly 3 perc entage points since early 2024, more than four times the increase in the overall jobless rate. Goldman Sachs says the the spike in jobless rate is an indicator that AI is beginning to take over white-collar work in the entry-level jobs. The bank's Chief Economist, Jan Hatzius, estimated in the note that AI will replace 6 per cent to 7 per cent of all US workers within the next decade. However, he predicted that the unemployment rate would only grow by a 'manageable' 0.5 per cent due to AI, because affected workers would shift to other industries. Fears that artificial intelligence will cost people their jobs are already proving to be true. The impacts are already being felt, as many tech companies continue to trim their workforces. Industry leaders like Anthropic's Dario Amodei and Amazon's Andy Jassy have admitted that AI will replace humans in white-collar jobs. Many companies are cutting roles in content, operations, customer service, and Human Resources — functions where generative AI and agentic tools are increasingly capable. However, corporations continue to present these changes as moves toward 'efficiency,' despite maintaining healthy balance sheets. That being said, software engineers remain in high demand, with companies like Facebook parent Meta offering multimillion-dollar pay packages. LinkedIn found that 'AI engineer' is the fastest-growing job title among recent college graduates, with two related roles: data center technician and systems engineer coming in at No 3 and 4. In India, however, the impact of AI on jobs is less severe compared to what is happening in the U.S. More and more companies are expanding their presence in India and opening new offices.
