Anthropic pledges Claude will stay ad-free as OpenAI tests ChatGPT ads

Anthropic says its Claude chatbot will remain ad-free, arguing that advertising is incompatible with the kind of “genuinely helpful assistant” it wants Claude to be. The pledge is being amplified via a Super Bowl ad campaign that mocks AI assistants inserting product pitches into personal conversations.

Apple and GitHub push agentic coding deeper into Xcode and developer workflows

Apple is updating Xcode 26.3 to support “agentic” coding tools—integrating OpenAI’s Codex and Anthropic’s Claude Agent so they can take actions inside the IDE (not just provide suggestions), with the integration implemented via the Model Context Protocol (MCP).
