Apple And Anthropic Building Ai-Powered Coding Platform

Apple and Anthropic have reportedly partnered to create a platform that will use artificial intelligence (AI) to write, edit and test code for programmers.Apple has started rolling out the coding software to its own engineers, Bloomberg reported Friday (May 2). The company hasn’t decided whether to make it available to third-party app developers.The tool generates code or alterations in response to requests made by programmers through a chat interface. It also tests user interfaces and manages the process of finding and fixing bugs, according to the report.It was reported in August that while generative AI is not yet making money in some fields, it has quickly proven its value in powering coding assistants.As of the time of that report, one AI coding assistant, the Microsoft-owned GitHub Copilot, had drawn nearly 2 million paying subscribers since its launch in 2022 and contributed to a 45% year-over-year increase in GitHub’s revenue.Amazon, Meta, Google and several startups have also built AI assistants for writing and editing code.McKinsey said in 2023 that AI could boost the productivity of software engineering by 20% to 45%.This increased efficiency has far-reaching implications for businesses across industries, CPO and CTO Bob Rogers of Oii.ai told PYMNTS in an interview posted in May 2024. AI-powered tools enable developers to create software and applications faster and with fewer resources.“Simple tasks such as building landing pages, basic website design, report generation, etc., can all be done with AI, freeing up time for programmers to focus on less tedious, more complex tasks,” Rogers said. “It’s important to remember that while generative AI can augment skills and help folks learn to code, it cannot yet directly replace programmers — someone still needs to design the system.”It was reported in April that OpenAI was in discussions with Windsurf, an AI-powered coding tool, to acquire the technology.Windsurf, formally known as Exafunction, had recently been in discussions with investors to raise $3 billion. Last year, the firm was valued at $1.25 billion in a deal led by General Catalyst.OpenAI Chief Financial Officer Sarah Friar said in April that OpenAI is building an AI agent that can do all the work of software engineers, not just augment their skills

Anthropic Secures $4B for AI Model

In 2025, Anthropic secured over $4 billion to advance its AI model, Claude, with backing from tech giants and VCs. Mistral AI, based in Paris, raised significant Series B funding to expand its open-weight LLMs. Figure AI received over $1 billion to develop general-purpose humanoid robots. Perplexity AI raised millions for its AI-native search engine. Cohere's funding surge in 2025 is supporting its development of language models for business and productivity apps.

Hidden Costs In Ai Deployment: Why Claude Models May Be 20-30% More Expensive Than Gpt In Enterprise Settings

It is a well-known fact that different model families can use different tokenizers. However, there has been limited analysis on how the process of “tokenization” itself varies across these tokenizers. Do all tokenizers result in the same number of tokens for a given input text? If not, how different are the generated tokens? How significant are the differences?In this article, we explore these questions and examine the practical implications of tokenization variability. We present a comparative story of two frontier model families: OpenAI’s ChatGPT vs Anthropic’s Claude. Although their advertised “cost-per-token” figures are highly competitive, experiments reveal that Anthropic models can be 20–30% more expensive than GPT models.API Pricing — Claude 3.5 Sonnet vs GPT-4oAs of June 2024, the pricing structure for these two advanced frontier models is highly competitive. Both Anthropic’s Claude 3.5 Sonnet and OpenAI’s GPT-4o have identical costs for output tokens, while Claude 3.5 Sonnet offers a 40% lower cost for input tokens.Source: VantageThe hidden “tokenizer inefficiency”Despite lower input token rates of the Anthropic model, we observed that the total costs of running experiments (on a given set of fixed prompts) with GPT-4o is much cheaper when compared to Claude Sonnet-3.5.Why?The Anthropic tokenizer tends to break down the same input into more tokens compared to OpenAI’s tokenizer

Nvidia Accuses Anthropic Of Spinning ‘Tall Tales’ About Chip Restrictions

Nvidia has reportedly criticized Anthropic over its stance on U.S. chip export restrictions. “American firms should focus on innovation and rise to the challenge, rather than tell tall tales that large, heavy, and sensitive electronics are somehow smuggled in ‘baby bumps’ or ‘alongside live lobsters,’” a spokesperson for Nvidia told CNBC Thursday (May 1). Nvidia’s comments refer to a recent blog post by artificial intelligence (AI) startup Anthropic, which accused China of engaging in the above-mentioned smuggling tactics
