Anthropic’s revenue continues to grow at an accelerated rate, surpassing $65 billion at the end of July, up from $47 billion in May and just $9 billion at the end of last year.  Investors expect Anthropic to continue growing at approximately the same rate for the remainder of the year, finishing 2026 between $100 billion and $120 billion, according to Bloomberg.  After completing a $65 billion round, Anthropic was last valued at $965 billion in late May. The San Francisco-based company is expected to go public this fall, ahead of OpenAI. It will seek a public valuation of $2 trillion or more, which would make it the largest market debut on record. Meanwhile, rival OpenAI has doubled its revenue to $40 billion, up from $20 billion at the end of 2025, Bloomberg reported last week. The two companies calculate their revenue metrics differently, but Anthropic’s growth rate has captivated investors far more than OpenAI’s has.

AI agents are undermining online education by taking courses on learners’ behalf, quickly accelerating cheating to earn certificates. At many community colleges and globally renowned universities, classes are self-paced with prerecorded lectures, also known as asynchronous. Assignments and tests are submitted digitally. In fact, half of American college students took at least one class last year, up from about a third in 2019. Sometimes students can earn full degrees online. In other cases, they take individual classes. To prevent misuse of an unregulated technology, many educators are shifting to oral presentations and handwritten exams in physical classrooms. Beyond the copy-and-pasting of chatbot-produced essays and problem sets, AI agents can watch lecture videos, take tests, write papers, and even chat with classmates about reading assignments. This is happening in a context where education leaders are eager to embrace a technology that could reshape the world of work. In addition, AI detection software can make mistakes, so there is no concrete proof of misconduct. And some administrators, professors fear, do not want to risk losing a paying customer in an era of tightening budgets and shifting demographics. In tests by The New York Times, none of the three leading AI tools among students — ChatGPT, Gemini, and Grammarly — refused to write a paper on a student’s behalf. Also, AI companies have not prevented agents from logging into learning platforms such as Canvas, Brightspace, and Blackboard, which colleges use to manage online classes. Experts have warned that more novel forms of AI cheating are emerging. Wearable devices, like glasses, can allow students to request help even while working in a secure web browser. AI avatars can impersonate students over video. Some institutions are also changing how online assignments are designed, leaning on personal responses that are more difficult for AI to fake. • The New York Times: AI Agents Are Taking Entire Online Courses for Cheating Students
