Anthropic joined Google and OpenAI in announcing its newest model in the last two weeks – but unlike the other two companies – it is gate-kept for paying customers. (The other two will throttle access for free users). Some are claiming Claude Opus 4.5 is the best – not something I’m prepared to evaluate or argue; however – Anthropic did announce some other news:
Claude for Nonprofits includes three things: discounted access of up to 75% to Claude, connectors to new nonprofit tools—Blackbaud, Candid, and Benevity—and a free course, AI Fluency for Nonprofits, designed to help teams use AI more effectively.
If you’re a non-profit, especially in the education space, this might be promising if you lean into coding, in particular, somewhere where Claude has long been viewed as the best.
I believe there’s also an argument for Anthropic to be the most ethical of the major companies (sorry Scott Alexander).
