Did OpenAI use rival Claude's coding tools to train GPT 5? Anthropic says it is possible
The battle of the AI titans has taken a new twist. As OpenAI is set to launch its next-gen AI model, Anthropic claims GPT 5 is based on its Claude models. Anthropic has recently announced that it is officially cutting off OpenAI's access to its Claude models, accusing the ChatGPT maker of breaking the rules to give itself an edge. The story, first reported by Wired, claims that OpenAI's engineers were using Anthropic's Claude, specifically its coding tools, as part of internal testing to benchmark and refine their own Code has become the goto 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 told Wired. Unfortunately for OpenAI, this was apparently a step too far. 'Unfortunately, this is a direct violation of our terms of service,' Nulty we go by what Anthropic claims, here is what has happened. Instead of using Claude through the normal chat interface like regular users, OpenAI reportedly plugged straight into Anthropic's developer APIs. This allowed the company to run deep tests of Claude's capabilities in areas such as coding, creative writing, and even sensitive prompts about safety issues including CSAM, selfharm and defamation. The idea was to see how Claude behaves, compare the results with OpenAI's own models, and make adjustments before rolling out their next generation of Anthropic was very clear on its commercial terms from day 1, you can't use its models to 'build a competing product or service, including to train competing AI models or resell the Service.'According to Anthropic, that's exactly what OpenAI was doing. Nulty clarified, however, that Anthropic won't cut OpenAI off completely. 'We will continue to ensure OpenAI has API access for the purposes of benchmarking and safety evaluations as is standard practice across the industry,' he isn't thrilled about the block, but they seem keen to keep things civil. Chief Communications Officer Hannah Wong issued a statement to Wired saying, 'It's industry standard to evaluate other AI systems to benchmark progress and improve safety. While we respect Anthropic's decision to cut off our API access, it's disappointing considering our API remains available to them.'Interestingly, this is not the first time Anthropic has shown a rival the door. Earlier this year, the company reportedly blocked Windsurf, a codingfocused AI startup, from accessing Claude after rumours spread that OpenAI was moving to acquire then, Anthropic's Chief Science Officer Jared Kaplan summed up the situation with: 'I think it would be odd for us to be selling Claude to OpenAI.'This latest episode shows just how competitive the AI race has become. With GPT 5 looming on the horizon, every model, and every line of code, counts.- Ends

Sheffield: Music scholarship in memory of Tramlines founder
A music college has launched a scholarship in memory of the director of a popular local Nulty, whose family run the Power of Music Foundation in her name, set up Tramlines in Sheffield before her death in Music College has announced that it will partner with the charity and fund a place on its three-year degree Nulty's mother, Julie Voisey, said: "Our mission is to give socially and economically disadvantaged individuals the opportunity to develop their musical talents." Her daughter founded Tramlines in 2009 and the event now attracts more than 35,000 music fans to Hillsborough Park each year."Sarah was a passionate advocate for new and emerging talent, particularly within the local scene," Ms Voisey said. "One of the acts she championed in the early days was Arctic Monkeys - I know she's quite proud of that. "To partner with WaterBear College – Sarah would have loved it. It reflects values she held dear, and the goals she worked hardest to it began, the foundation has awarded 75 grants to support music projects at schools, youth organisations, care homes and more, aiming to continue her Archer, careers director at the college, said the new scholarship was aimed at people with a passion for music who may struggle to access higher education."There are the financial restraints, confidence issues, and everything else that comes with higher education. A lot of the time it can be overwhelming," he added."Whatever reason is the struggle to get in, we can work with you to help break down those boundaries."The award covers the £9,250 tuition fees on the BA programme at the Sheffield can choose from a variety of courses including performance, production, business and to highlights from South Yorkshire on BBC Sounds, catch up with the latest episode of Look North or tell us a story you think we should be covering here.
