Anthropic just gave Claude a superpower: real-time web search. Here’s why it changes everything


Anthropic launches real-time web search for Claude AI, challenging ChatGPT's dominance while securing $3.5 billion in funding at a $61.5 billion valuation.

Anthropic highlighted several business use cases for the web-enabled Claude: sales teams analyzing industry trends, financial analysts assessing current market data, researchers building grant proposals, and shoppers comparing products across multiple sources. In response to California Governor Gavin Newsom’s Working Group on AI Frontier Models draft report released earlier this week, Anthropic expressed support for “objective standards and evidence-based policy guidance,” particularly highlighting transparency as “a low-cost, high-impact means of growing the evidence base around a new technology.” By combining current data with deep contextual understanding, AI assistants like Claude could transform knowledge work by handling substantial portions of research, analysis, and content creation — freeing humans to focus on judgment, creativity, and interpersonal aspects of their roles.
