Anthropic’s Claude Mythos has drawn fresh attention after some users claimed they briefly saw the model inside Claude Code and Claude Security. The reported appearance came one day after Anthropic said it was unlikely to make Mythos available to the general public soon.The timing raised questions among developers and security watchers. Anthropic has promoted Claude Mythos Preview as a powerful cybersecurity model under Project Glasswing, but it has also warned that wider access needs stronger safeguards.Mythos 1 Reportedly Appears BrieflySome users on X reported seeing models labeled “Mythos 1” and “claude-mythos-1-preview” inside Claude Code. TestingCatalog also reported that new strings appeared in the source code, including “Access to the Claude Mythos model in Claude Code and Claude Security.”ANTHROPIC : Mythos 1, "claude-mythos-1-preview", is being prepared for a release on Claude Code and Claude Security. The model became visible for a short amount of time on Claude; besides that, new strings mentioning Mythos have been added. > Access to the Claude Mythos… pic.twitter.com/ig16Gx1Zsw— AI News | TestingCatalog (@testingcatalog) May 23, 2026 However, the reported labels appeared only for a brief period. Anthropic has not announced a public launch of Mythos 1, and there is no official confirmation that the model is ready for wider access. For now, the sighting remains an alleged product leak.Claude Security is Anthropic’s enterprise cybersecurity tool. The appearance of Mythos-related strings suggests the company may be testing how the model could work inside its developer and security products. Still, testing does not mean a public rollout is imminent.Anthropic Keeps Access RestrictedAnthropic has said Claude Mythos Preview remains under restricted access. The company is working with selected partners, including major technology firms and infrastructure developers, through Project Glasswing.According to Anthropic, Mythos-class models may become available more widely only after stronger safeguards are ready. The company wrote, “In the near future, once we’ve developed the far stronger safeguards we need, we look forward to making Mythos-class models available through a general release.”This signals the company’s cautious position. Anthropic appears to see Mythos as useful for defense, but risky if released without strict controls. The model can support vulnerability research, code review, and security testing, yet those same skills could raise misuse concerns.Glasswing Finds Over 10,000 FlawsProject Glasswing has become the main reason Claude Mythos is receiving attention. In one month, more than 50 major developers and infrastructure partners reportedly worked with Claude Mythos Preview. The model helped identify over 10,000 high-severity or critical software vulnerabilities.Reports linked the work to major systems, including Cloudflare, Firefox, OpenBSD, and security libraries used across connected devices. Some reports also said Mythos found a long-hidden OpenBSD bug that had remained unnoticed for 27 years.The model’s role was not limited to finding flaws. Reports said it also helped block a $1.5 million cryptocurrency-related fraud attempt at a partner bank. The case reportedly involved suspicious behavior linked to a wire transfer, which Mythos helped detect before funds moved.These claims have not all been described in full technical detail. That is expected in security reporting, as teams often withhold details until patches are ready. However, Anthropic’s update points to a new phase where AI systems can find bugs faster than many teams can fix them.Patching Becomes the New BottleneckThe speed of Mythos has created a new pressure point for developers. Finding bugs once took teams weeks or months. Now, AI-assisted tools can scan large codebases and produce detailed reports much faster.However, fixing vulnerabilities still requires human review, testing, and safe deployment. Some maintainers have reportedly struggled with the number of findings. One reported reaction from the open-source community was, “Please stop finding vulnerabilities—we can’t keep up.”Anthropic has responded by developing tools that support both discovery and patch creation. Claude Security aims to help enterprise users identify flaws and generate fixes. Meanwhile, the company has also supported responsible disclosure and controlled access for trusted researchers.Public Release Still Looks UnclearThe brief Mythos sighting on Claude Code has fueled speculation, but it does not prove that Anthropic has changed its release plan. The company still presents Mythos Preview as a restricted model aimed at defensive cybersecurity work.For now, the clearest reading is that Anthropic may be preparing Mythos for controlled use inside Claude Code and Claude Security. However, general public access still appears uncertain, especially as Anthropic continues to stress safeguards, partner limits, and responsible security use.Also Read: Claude Mythos Delay Sparks Debate on Compute Limits and AI Safety Concerns Join our WhatsApp Channel to get the latest news, exclusives and videos on WhatsApp

XRP rose 3.91% to $1.36 in 24 hours as the wider crypto market recovered alongside Bitcoin. The move came as Bitcoin gained 3.01%, while total crypto market value also rose by more than 3%.The rebound placed XRP back above the $1.33 support area after a recent pullback below $1.30. However, the move showed no clear XRP-only catalyst. Instead, the token followed the broader market bounce, while traders watched resistance near $1.40 and $1.42.XRP Price Follows Bitcoin-Led RecoveryXRP’s latest gain came as major digital assets moved higher after recent market stress. Bitcoin led the recovery, and several large-cap altcoins moved in the same direction. XRP slightly outpaced Bitcoin, though its price action stayed closely tied to wider market sentiment.The move followed earlier pressure linked to weak risk demand and spot Bitcoin ETF outflows. However, the latest rebound suggests traders returned to large-cap crypto assets after oversold conditions. Santiment-linked market commentary also pointed to renewed interest after the sharp pullback.XRP had dropped below $1.30 during the recent decline, marking its lowest level since early April. The recovery to $1.36 helped the token regain part of those losses. Even so, XRP remains below several key technical levels that traders continue to monitor.For now, the $1.33 level remains the main support zone. A firm hold above that area could allow XRP to retest $1.42. However, a break below $1.33 could expose the token to another move toward $1.25.Analysts Question XRP’s Breakout SetupSeveral analysts remain cautious about XRP’s latest technical shift. Ali Martinez said “XRP is breaking out,” but his chart pointed to a bearish move. According to his post, XRP broke below the rising trendline of a symmetrical triangle on the daily chart.Martinez warned that the token could fall toward $1.14 if the breakdown continues. His view came after XRP failed to hold gains near $1.55 last week. The token quickly lost momentum and returned toward the $1.40 area before the wider market sell-off deepened.However, CRYPTOWZRD offered a more balanced view. The analyst said XRP closed bullish on the daily chart, but added that it must reclaim $1.40 before a stronger rally can form. That level now acts as a short-term marker for buyers.Meanwhile, analyst CW pointed to Binance trader positioning. According to the chart shared, top traders on Binance reduced short positions and added long exposure. CW said whales “are ending their XRP bearish bets,” though the token still needs stronger price confirmation.Cryptorphic also warned that XRP broke below a major symmetrical triangle support line. The analyst said the token may retest the broken line as resistance. If XRP fails at that level, the next major support sits near $1.21.Wallet Growth and XRPL Upgrade Draw AttentionXRP network activity also picked up this week. Santiment reported that around 4,300 new XRP wallets were created within 24 hours. That marked the fourth-largest network growth spike for XRP in 2026.Exchange flow data also showed more than 35 million XRP moved off trading platforms in 24 hours. Such withdrawals can suggest accumulation when holders move tokens away from exchanges. Nevertheless, XRP’s price still depends heavily on Bitcoin direction and wider market strength.The XRP Ledger is also preparing for the fixCleanup3_1_3 amendment on May 27. The update is expected to address issues involving NFTs, permissioned domains, and vaults. It will also introduce a new lending protocol to the XRP Ledger.Network reports showed that nearly 46% of XRPL’s 846 nodes had upgraded by May 19. However, all 35 validators on the default Unique Node List supported the amendment. XRP Ledger sits at 46% node adoption six days before May 27 amendment goes liveThe XRPL Foundation's fixCleanup3_1_3 amendment activates May 27, cleaning up issues affecting NFTs, permissioned domains, vaults, and a new lending protocol. Only 46% of the network's 846 nodes had… pic.twitter.com/q4wBS9vYHy— BSCN (@BSCNews) May 21, 2026 Ripple CTO David Schwartz also addressed chain-split concerns, saying a credible fork would require several independent validator operators to support another chain.Regulatory sentiment remains another factor for XRP traders. The CLARITY Act cleared a Senate committee on May 14, keeping the market focused on US crypto policy progress. For now, XRP’s near-term path depends on whether buyers defend $1.33 and push the price back above $1.40 to $1.42.Also Read: Bitcoin News Today: US CLARITY Act Vote Fuels Bitcoin Optimism as Santiment Warns Traders Join our WhatsApp Channel to get the latest news, exclusives and videos on WhatsApp

Uber Technologies has approached Delivery Hero with a takeover proposal that values the German food delivery group at about €10 billion. The offer comes as global food delivery companies face slower growth, tighter margins, and rising pressure to combine operations across key markets.Delivery Hero confirmed that it received an approach from Uber at €33 per share. However, the Berlin-based company said it “remains fully focused on executing its strategic review process,” leaving doubt over whether talks will move toward a formal deal.Delivery Hero Confirms Uber’s OfferDelivery Hero said Uber’s proposal values the company at €33 per share. That price sits slightly below the company’s Friday closing price of €33.59, according to LSEG data cited by Reuters. It also stands only three cents above Thursday’s closing price, before reports of the talks first emerged.Uber already holds close to 20% of Delivery Hero. The company also has options for another 5.6% stake, according to disclosures. Under the current proposal, Uber would need to spend about €8 billion for the remaining shares it does not already own.However, the offer may face resistance from some investors. The Financial Times reported that Uber’s proposal was rejected, with some shareholders seeking more than €40 per share. That higher level would place a stronger premium on Delivery Hero’s recent market price.Delivery Hero shares rose 1.9% on Friday. The stock has gained 48% this year, supported by expectations of asset sales and possible takeover interest. Even so, the current offer does not provide a clear premium over the latest share price.Strategic Review Remains CentralDelivery Hero has been reviewing its assets after pressure from shareholders. Several investors have urged the company to consider sales and other strategic options as competition remains high across food delivery markets.The company recently said founder and CEO Niklas Oestberg would step down. His planned exit followed pressure from large shareholders that pushed for changes at the company. Delivery Hero has not shared further details on Uber’s offer beyond confirming the approach.Food delivery companies have continued to consolidate across major regions. DoorDash agreed to buy UK-based Deliveroo last year. Meanwhile, Prosus announced plans to buy Just Eat Takeaway.com in the Netherlands.Uber’s interest in Delivery Hero comes as it seeks to grow outside the United States. A takeover would expand Uber’s exposure to emerging markets and strengthen its position against DoorDash in global delivery services.However, other bidders may still watch the process. DoorDash has shown interest in Delivery Hero’s Middle East business, Talabat, according to a person familiar with the matter cited by Bloomberg. No offer has been submitted, according to that report.Investors and Regulators Could Shape TalksAny deal would need to account for Delivery Hero’s major shareholders. Prosus owns almost 17% of the company, while Aspex Management holds more than 14%. Their positions give them strong influence over any takeover discussion.Aspex has pushed for asset sales and changes at Delivery Hero. The activist investor also helped lead pressure that resulted in Oestberg’s planned departure. Therefore, Uber may need broader shareholder support before any deal can advance.Uber has been speaking with Delivery Hero investors about its interest, according to people familiar with the matter. The company is also working with advisers as it studies ways to increase its stake further.Morgan Stanley helped Uber build its holding quickly through derivatives, according to Bloomberg. However, Uber may need antitrust approval before crossing certain ownership levels, one person familiar with the matter said.Talks remain ongoing, and there is no certainty that they will lead to a transaction. Delivery Hero’s public statement kept the company’s position narrow, saying only that it is focused on its strategic review.Bloomberg Intelligence analysts Mandeep Singh and Robert Biggar wrote before the indicative offer became public that Delivery Hero could fetch between $15 billion and $18 billion in a deal with Uber. That estimate sits well above the current proposal and could add doubt around whether shareholders accept the opening price.Also Read: Uber Agrees to Acquire Voi for $1.2B as European Micromobility Race Heats Up Join our WhatsApp Channel to get the latest news, exclusives and videos on WhatsApp

Hong Kong’s regulated stablecoin market has taken a step toward live issuance after Anchorpoint Financial completed an Ethereum mainnet test for HKDAP, its Hong Kong dollar stablecoin. According to a Hong Kong Economic Journal report, the trial involved OSL Group, LeopardTrade, and Standard Chartered Hong Kong.The test checked how fiat Hong Kong dollar funds move into reserve assets before token issuance. It also covered on-chain transfer and redemption. All test tokens were later redeemed, while HKDAP is expected to launch in phases from the end of the second quarter.Anchorpoint Tests HKDAP on EthereumAnchorpoint Financial has completed a mainnet test for HKDAP, also known as HKD At Par. The company holds a stablecoin issuance licence from the Hong Kong Monetary Authority, placing the project inside the city’s supervised digital asset framework.According to the report, the trial verified the process of converting fiat Hong Kong dollar funds into reserve assets. This step matters for a fiat-backed stablecoin, as reserves support the token’s value and redemption process.OSL Group and LeopardTrade joined the test. LeopardTrade operates under Futu Holdings, while OSL remains one of Hong Kong’s licensed digital asset firms. Their involvement connected the exercise to regulated trading and digital asset infrastructure.Standard Chartered Hong Kong provided infrastructure and institutional trust services. The report said this helped support full collateralisation during the test. Notably, all test tokens were redeemed after the trial ended.HKMA Rules Shift Toward Live InfrastructureHong Kong has been building a stablecoin licensing regime under the HKMA. The rules require fiat-backed issuers to meet standards on reserves, redemption, and compliance before offering tokens to the public.Anchorpoint’s progress shows the framework is moving from policy design toward practical use. However, the report did not disclose final launch details, exchange listings, expected supply, or the full structure of HKDAP’s rollout.The licensing model gives regulators direct oversight of issuers. It also sets rules for anti-money laundering procedures and user redemption rights. These requirements aim to bring stablecoin activity into a clearer legal structure.Meanwhile, Hong Kong continues to develop its digital asset market through licensed trading platforms, tokenization projects, and clearer rules for crypto firms. HKDAP adds another test case for that regulated approach.Ethereum Test Connects HKDAP to Global RailsThe use of Ethereum is notable as the network already supports large stablecoin activity. USDT and USDC have deep liquidity across Ethereum-based exchanges, wallets, custody services, and DeFi platforms.By testing HKDAP on Ethereum, Anchorpoint used a public blockchain rather than a closed system. This may support future links with existing market infrastructure, depending on regulatory approval and commercial demand.Still, several details remain open. The report did not confirm whether HKDAP will launch only on Ethereum or later expand to other networks. It also did not outline fee management, compliance controls, or settlement design.Hong Kong’s Ethereum-linked activity has drawn more attention this year. The city has hosted more blockchain infrastructure work, while regulated firms continue to test public-chain use cases under official supervision.HKDAP May Offer a Local Settlement RouteHKDAP could give Hong Kong institutions a local stablecoin option if it gains enough liquidity and reliable redemption channels. Many crypto market participants still rely on U.S. dollar stablecoins for trading and settlement.A Hong Kong dollar token may support local payments, treasury flows, and digital asset transactions within a licensed structure. Additionally, it could reduce reliance on offshore issuers for some regulated market activity.Adoption remains the next test. HKDAP will need exchange support, corporate use cases, transparent reserves, and smooth redemption before it can become a widely used settlement asset.The launch also comes as Asia’s digital money race widens. China continues to promote the digital yuan, while Japan’s stablecoin sector remains tightly controlled. For now, Anchorpoint’s Ethereum test marks a factual move from approval toward phased issuance.Also Read: Crypto Traders Shift to Privacy Coins as Bitcoin Holds a Narrow Range Join our WhatsApp Channel to get the latest news, exclusives and videos on WhatsApp

Bitcoin recovered toward $77,000 after a sharp weekend drop, as traders reacted to fresh comments from US President Donald Trump on a possible Iran peace deal. The move also followed heavy short liquidations across the crypto market, which forced bearish traders to buy back positions. However, reports from the US and Iran remain mixed, leaving traders focused on whether Bitcoin can hold key support levels.Short Liquidations Drive Bitcoin ReboundBitcoin rose 2.06% over 24 hours to trade near $76,811.75, matching the broader crypto market’s 2.06% gain. The rebound came after Bitcoin fell to a five-week low near $74,250, as geopolitical concerns weighed on risk assets.CoinGlass data showed that BTC recorded $125.77 million in total liquidations over 24 hours. Short positions made up $119.36 million of that amount. This forced bearish traders to close positions, creating buy-side pressure as Bitcoin moved higher.The wider crypto market also saw more than $300 million in short liquidations during the recovery. This helped several large altcoins move higher. Ethereum climbed back above $2,100 after dipping near $2,000, while NEAR, ONDO, MORPHO, and HYPE also posted stronger gains.However, the rebound appeared more technical than demand-led. The move came as leveraged short positions unwound quickly, not as spot market demand showed clear strength. Traders are watching if Bitcoin can stay above $77,000 after the short squeeze cools.Trump Says Iran Deal is Near, but Reports DifferMarket sentiment improved after Trump said on Truth Social that a peace agreement involving the United States, Iran, and several Middle Eastern countries had been “largely negotiated.” He named Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Qatar, Pakistan, Türkiye, Egypt, Jordan, and Bahrain among the countries involved.Trump also said the “final aspects and details of the Deal are currently being discussed, and will be announced shortly.” He added that the Strait of Hormuz would reopen under the planned agreement. That waterway remains important for global energy markets, and fears around its closure had added pressure to risk assets.However, the reports still contain doubts. Iran’s Fars News agency claimed that “American officials have acknowledged in multiple messages to Iran that Trump’s posts are primarily for promotional purposes and media consumption within the US.” It also said Iranian officials had been told “no attention be paid to these statements.”Meanwhile, another report said Iran had agreed to give up its highly enriched uranium under the proposed deal. The mixed claims kept uncertainty in place, even as crypto prices reacted positively to the possibility of lower tension in the region.Bitcoin Holds Near Key Technical LevelsBitcoin now trades near a fragile technical area after failing to break resistance around $82,000 earlier. Analysts are watching whether BTC can hold above the $76,082 Fibonacci support level. A firm hold could open the way for a retest of resistance near $78,523.However, a break below that support could expose Bitcoin to another move toward the $74,255 swing low. The 7-day RSI near 40.57 shows room for further recovery, but buyers still need stronger confirmation.ETF flows remain another key signal. US spot Bitcoin funds reportedly saw $1.26B in net outflows last week. A reversal in those outflows would show stronger institutional demand and could support a broader recovery. ETF FLOWS: SOL and XRP spot ETFs saw net inflows last week, while BTC and ETH spot ETFs saw net outflows.BTC: -$1.26BETH: -$215.99MSOL: $15.63MXRP: $22.04M pic.twitter.com/jiWekBW6MV— Cointelegraph (@Cointelegraph) May 24, 2026 For now, Bitcoin’s bounce remains tied to short liquidations, macro headlines and cautious risk appetite. A daily close above the 7-day simple moving average near $76,899 would give traders a clearer short-term signal.Also Read: Mark Cuban Questions Bitcoin’s Role as a Hedge After Selling Most HoldingsJoin our WhatsApp Channel to get the latest news, exclusives and videos on WhatsApp

Overview:For the first time, Anthropic surpassed OpenAI in business AI adoption, capturing 34.4% vs OpenAI's 32.3%, per Ramp's AI Index.Claude Code has hit approximately $2.5 billion in annualized revenue, signaling a major shift in developer trust.Gartner projects global AI model spending to nearly double in 2026, reaching close to $33 billion.Few rivalries in the technology industry have escalated as sharply as Anthropic versus OpenAI. Both companies emerged from the same intellectual roots, yet they have taken fundamentally different approaches to building, pricing, and deploying large language models. OpenAI commands broad consumer awareness through ChatGPT, which now serves roughly 900 million weekly active users. Anthropic, founded in 2021 by former OpenAI researchers, built its identity around enterprise reliability and safety-first AI development.The competitive picture is no longer simply about which model scores higher on a benchmark. Enterprise buyers are evaluating ecosystem depth, agentic tooling, regulatory compliance, and long-term pricing predictability. Those factors are reshaping procurement decisions across industries, and the numbers are beginning to reflect it. For the first time, Anthropic overtook OpenAI in paid business adoption in April 2026, according to Ramp's AI Index, which tracks real spending across more than 50,000 companies.Anthropic vs OpenAI: Sound QualityCompany Foundations and Strategic DirectionAnthropic's founding philosophy centers on Constitutional AI, a training method that embeds ethical principles directly into model behavior rather than relying solely on human feedback. Roughly 80% of Anthropic's revenue comes from business customers, with eight of the Fortune 10 listed among its clients. OpenAI, founded in 2015, expanded from a research lab into a commercial powerhouse with a deep Microsoft Azure partnership and a multimodal product ecosystem spanning ChatGPT, DALL·E, Sora, and Codex.These origins shape how each company prioritizes its roadmap. Anthropic ships fewer products with tighter quality control. OpenAI ships broader capabilities at greater speed and scale.Which Model Family Fits Enterprise Needs BetterFlagship Model ComparisonBoth companies offer tiered model families matched to different task complexities. Anthropic's Claude lineup includes Haiku 4.5 for high-volume lightweight tasks, Sonnet 4.6 as the production workhorse, and Opus 4.7 at the frontier for complex coding and agentic workflows. OpenAI's mid-2026 lineup includes GPT-5.4 as the production standard, GPT-5.5 at the frontier, and budget options down to GPT-5.4 Nano.On coding benchmarks, Claude holds a measurable lead. On multimodal breadth, including real-time voice and video generation through Sora, OpenAI remains ahead.Enterprise Adoption and Pricing RealityThe Ramp AI Index, which tracks actual corporate card spending rather than surveys, places Anthropic at 34.4% business adoption share versus OpenAI's 32.3% in April 2026. Anthropic quadrupled its user base over the prior year while OpenAI remained relatively flat. This shows that OpenAI still leads in total revenue by most estimates, and roughly 79% of companies paying for Anthropic also pay for OpenAI. Multi-model deployment has become the norm, not the exception.API Pricing at a GlancePricing reflects standard mode as of May 2026. Both providers offer batch discounts of up to 50% and prompt caching reductions of up to 90%.Safety, Compliance, and Enterprise FeaturesAnthropic's Responsible Scaling Policy defines capability thresholds that trigger required safeguards. It publishes a public Trust Center with ISO certifications and HIPAA-relevant documentation. This framing resonates strongly with regulated industries such as healthcare, finance, and legal services. OpenAI operates under a Preparedness Framework, holds SOC 2 Type 2 certification, and supports regional data residency for global enterprises with strict data requirements.Neither company offers a clear universal edge here. The deciding factor is typically which governance narrative aligns better with a company's internal risk standards and procurement process.Enterprise Feature ComparisonAnthropic has also moved aggressively into partnerships. In May 2026, it signed a global alliance with KPMG to deploy Claude Cowork and expanded its PwC partnership, announced the same month.Are Anthropic Speakers Better Than OpenAI for EnterpriseThe question most procurement teams ask is not which company is better overall. It is which platform delivers more value for a specific workload. Gartner projects AI model spending to reach nearly $33 billion in 2026, growing roughly 100% year over year, and expects further consolidation in the model market. The firm notes that costs to train and operate large language models will continue rising, leaving sustainable room for only a handful of frontier providers.For teams with document-heavy workflows, compliance requirements, and active software engineering pipelines, Anthropic's current positioning is stronger. For teams that need voice-enabled features, image generation, video synthesis, or deep integration with Microsoft infrastructure, OpenAI's ecosystem is more complete.Final WordsAnthropic and OpenAI have both earned their positions in enterprise AI through measurable capability, not marketing alone. Anthropic leads on coding reliability, long-context reasoning, and a governance narrative that moves procurement committees. OpenAI leads on multimodal breadth, consumer brand recognition, and an ecosystem that spans text, voice, image, and video in ways Anthropic has not yet matched.The more important insight for enterprise buyers is this: the choice between these two platforms is increasingly a routing decision, not an either-or selection. Most serious organizations are running both. The question is not which logo appears on the contract. It is which model handles each workload with the right capability, at the right cost, with the right governance framework behind it. This framework delivers value over the next several years, regardless of which benchmark either company publishes next quarter.You May Also Like:OpenAI and Anthropic Step into Services Business as Indian IT AdaptsWill OpenAI Ever Become a Billion-Dollar Business?Will Anthropic’s New AI Tool Disrupt India’s IT Services Business ModelFAQsWhich is better, Anthropic or OpenAI for enterprise use? Anthropic leads on coding, long-context reasoning, and compliance-focused deployments. OpenAI leads on multimodal features, consumer reach, and Microsoft Azure integration. The right choice depends on the workload and existing infrastructure.Has Anthropic overtaken OpenAI in business adoption? Yes. According to Ramp's AI Index, Anthropic captured 34.4% of business AI spending in April 2026, surpassing OpenAI's 32.3% for the first time since tracking began in January 2023.What is Claude Code and why does it matter? Claude Code is Anthropic's terminal-native coding agent, available via CLI, VS Code, JetBrains, and Slack. It has become a key growth driver, reportedly reaching approximately $2.5 billion in annualized revenue by early 2026.Does OpenAI offer open-weight models? Yes. OpenAI released open-weight models gpt-oss-120b and gpt-oss-20b under Apache 2.0 licensing, marking a significant shift from its historically closed approach. Anthropic does not currently offer open-weight models.How does AI model pricing compare between the two companiesFrontier models are similarly priced, with Claude Opus 4.7 at $5/$25 and GPT-5.5 at $5/$30 per million input/output tokens. Both companies offer significant discounts through batch processing and prompt caching, making the effective cost highly workload-dependent.Join our WhatsApp Channel to get the latest news, exclusives and videos on WhatsApp

OverviewNVIDIA stock gained investor attention after 2025 revenue jumped 65% to $215.9 billion from AI demand.Alphabet stock remains attractive as the company plans $180-$190 billion AI-focused capital expenditure this year.CoreWeave stock offers high-growth potential after revenue surged to $5.1 billion, with projections exceeding $10 billion.Everyone is talking about AI today. As an investor or trader, you are probably wondering which companies are actually making money from it? Which stocks are worth your capital this year and how do you avoid overpaying for hype?Those are fair questions. The AI sector is full of noise but only a few firms are actually making profits from it. This article cuts through that buzz. Below, you will find the top stocks that are genuinely benefiting from the AI boom with hard numbers to back it up, not just theory.The 10 Stocks at a GlanceHere are the top stocks benefitting from AI boom:A Closer Look at the Top ThreeNVIDIA (NVDA): Powering Every Major AI ModelIf you want to understand the AI boom, start here. NVIDIA makes the chips, called GPUs that every major AI company uses to train and run its models. NVIDIA's full-year revenue in 2025 hit $215.9 billion, up 65% year over year. It’s a company whose products have become essential infrastructure. The bulk of this growth came from the data center business, which now serves cloud providers, AI startups, and large enterprises worldwide.The company’s latest chip platform, Blackwell, has been a major success, and NVIDIA is already preparing to launch the next generation called Rubin in the second half of the year. Demand is outpacing supply, which means pricing power is strong.Beyond chips, NVIDIA is expanding into robotics, autonomous vehicles, and what it calls ‘physical AI’, applying AI to real-world machines and systems. These are early-stage bets today, but they add long-term upside to an already dominant business. For investors who want the most direct exposure to AI growth, NVIDIA stock is at the top of the list.Alphabet (GOOGL): More Than Just Google SearchA common worry in 2023 was that ChatGPT and generative AI tools would hurt Google Search. In reality, Alphabet's advertising revenue has kept growing, and AI has actually made its products more capable and more used.Alphabet has been building AI for over a decade. It acquired DeepMind back in 2014. Today, its Gemini AI models are running across Google Search, YouTube, Google Cloud, and Workspace. The company also designs its own AI chips, called TPUs, which compete with NVIDIA in specific workloads, giving it more control over costs and performance.One area worth paying attention to is Waymo, Alphabet's autonomous driving unit. It now runs fully driverless ride-hailing services in multiple US cities, a milestone most competitors are still working toward.The Google parent has planned $180-$190 billion in capital expenditure for this year, a large portion of which goes toward AI infrastructure. With a $4.7 trillion market cap and steady cash flows from advertising, Alphabet is one of the more balanced AI plays. It shows large upside without the same level of risk as a pure-play AI stock.Microsoft (MSFT): AI Built into EverythingMicrosoft made one of the smartest early bets in tech when it started investing in OpenAI in 2019. It now holds a significant minority stake, reported at around 27% before OpenAI's recent funding round and that relationship has become central to Microsoft's entire AI strategy.What makes the tech giant different from many AI companies is how widely it has embedded AI across its existing products. Azure OpenAI is already being used by more than 65% of Fortune 500 companies. Microsoft 365 Copilot brings AI into Word, Excel, and Teams. GitHub Copilot is changing how developers write code. Edge, its browser, has AI features built in.The company’s leadership has also been smart about not putting all its eggs in one basket. While OpenAI is a major partner, Microsoft supports multiple AI models across Azure, both internal ones and third-party options so customers are not locked into a single provider. Azure AI Foundry, launched in late 2024, is a platform that lets businesses build and manage their own AI tools and agents, and it has grown quickly.Microsoft is not a cheap stock with a $3.1 trillion market cap. It is arguably one of the most diversified AI businesses in the world. It has revenue streams across cloud, productivity software, gaming, and enterprise services.Also Read: LIC Share Price Up 2.22% on Strong Earnings: Should You Buy?The Other Seven: What You Should KnowThe remaining seven stocks each offer separate entry points into AI. CoreWeave (CRWV) is the riskiest and most exciting of the bunch. It went from near-zero revenue in 2022 to $5.1 billion in 2025, and is expected to cross $10 billion in 2026. Although 67% of its revenue came from a single customer (Microsoft) last year, which is a concentration risk investors must weigh carefully.Meta Platforms hit a milestone when Meta AI crossed 1 billion monthly active users in 2025. AI is improving its ad targeting, and the company has also launched new AI hardware through Ray-Ban smart glasses and Meta Quest headsets. Adobe's Firefly AI tool has now generated more than 18 billion images since launch, showing real adoption in the creative market. Alibaba is investing over $50 billion in AI infrastructure and using AI in its e-commerce and cloud platforms. It trades at a discount to US peers, which some investors see as an opportunity.Amazon, through AWS and its Bedrock platform, gives businesses easy access to AI models without building from scratch. Palantir's AI Platform (AIP), launched in 2023 has driven strong growth from both government and corporate clients, and the company has few direct competitors. Oracle has a $300 billion deal to supply computing power to OpenAI. It is spending $50 billion in capital expenditure for the fiscal year ending May. Thus, making it one of the biggest AI infrastructure bets among older enterprise companies.How to Pick the Right AI Stock for Your PortfolioNot all of these 10 stocks carry the same risk or offer the same kind of return. Here is a simple way to think about them:If you want maximum AI exposure with high growth potential and are comfortable with risk, look at NVIDIA, CoreWeave, and Palantir. These companies make most or all of their revenue directly from AI demand.If you want AI exposure with stability, Alphabet, Microsoft, and Amazon are strong options. They are growing their AI businesses on top of already large and profitable core businesses, which cushions downside risk.If you want value or international diversification, Adobe and Alibaba trade at lower multiples compared to many peers. They carry their own set of risks, but they offer different return profiles.Remember, diversification always helps. Owning a mix of chip companies, cloud providers, and software businesses gives you exposure to the AI boom without being fully tied to any one part of the supply chain.Also Read: SpaceX Reports $4.69B Q1 Revenue Ahead of IPO Filing and Investor RoadshowFAQs1. Should I buy NVIDIA stock?NVIDIA remains one of the strongest AI-focused stocks because its GPUs power most major AI models globally. The company reported $215.9 billion revenue in 2025, up 65% year-on-year, mainly from AI data center demand. Investors also like NVIDIA’s expansion into robotics and autonomous systems, although valuation risks remain after the stock’s massive rally during the AI boom.2. Why are investors bullish on Microsoft stock?Microsoft has integrated AI across Azure, Microsoft 365, GitHub, and enterprise software products. More than 65% of Fortune 500 companies already use Azure OpenAI services. Investors view Microsoft as a stable AI stock because it combines strong AI growth with diversified revenue streams from cloud computing, gaming, productivity software, and enterprise technology services.3. Is Alphabet stock undervalued?Some investors believe Alphabet offers better value than several AI peers because its advertising business continues generating strong cash flow while AI adoption grows across Google Search, YouTube, and Google Cloud. The company is also investing $180-$190 billion into AI infrastructure and expanding Waymo’s driverless services, giving investors exposure to multiple long-term AI growth opportunities.4. Why is Palantir stock in focus?Palantir has attracted investors because its AI Platform (AIP) is seeing growing adoption from government agencies and commercial businesses. The company specializes in data analytics and operational intelligence, which are becoming more important as enterprises adopt AI tools. Investors also see Palantir as one of the few pure software companies directly monetizing enterprise AI demand at scale.5. Is CoreWeave stock a risky bet for long-term investors?CoreWeave offers strong growth potential because its revenue surged to $5.1 billion in 2025 and could exceed $10 billion in 2026. However, investors remain cautious because around 67% of its revenue came from Microsoft last year. This customer concentration creates risk if demand slows or large clients reduce infrastructure spending in the future.

Mark Cuban has renewed debate around Bitcoin after saying he sold most of his holdings before the Iran war, not because of it. His comments placed fresh attention on Bitcoin’s role as a hedge, its price behavior, and Michael Saylor’s influence on market demand.Cuban Says Bitcoin No Longer Fits Its Original ThesisMark Cuban said reports linking his Bitcoin sale to the Iran war were not accurate. He stated that he had already sold most of his holdings before the conflict began. Cuban said his sale prices ranged from about $88,000 to at least $120,000.He explained that his decision followed the same rule he uses for stocks. “I follow the rule for stocks; I exit when my thesis is no longer relevant,” Cuban said. His comments came as Bitcoin traded near $76,000, down about 40% from its record high near $126,000.Mark Cuban said Bitcoin was promoted for years as protection against weak money, central bank pressure, and economic stress. However, he questioned that view after Bitcoin moved more like a risk asset during market pressure. “That’s not what BTC was meant to be. At least not IMO,” he said.Saylor’s Bitcoin Buying Draws Fresh QuestionsCuban also questioned how much Michael Saylor and Strategy have supported Bitcoin’s current price. Strategy has become one of the largest corporate Bitcoin holders, with repeated purchases during different market cycles.“And who knows how much of the price is Saylor propping it up,” Cuban said. He added that Bitcoin’s value still depends mainly on supply and demand, with a smaller premium tied to payments.His comments did not suggest that Bitcoin would lose all value. Instead, Cuban questioned whether the asset still matches the original argument used by many long-term supporters. He also noted that some Bitcoin supporters have become less vocal during the recent decline.Traders Watch Downside Bets and New Bitcoin OptionsMarket data shows that traders still expect a possible downside. Polymarket contracts showed a 50% chance that Bitcoin price could fall to $55,000 this year. The same market placed a 42% chance on a move to $50,000 and a 32% chance on a drop to $45,000.However, Bitcoin’s longer record still shows sharp recoveries after major sell-offs. The asset fell 64% in 2022, then rose 156% in 2023 and 121% in 2024. Bitcoin also moved from near $10,000 in late 2017 to around $100,000 in December 2024.Meanwhile, Nasdaq has received SEC approval to list Bitcoin index options. The contracts will track the CME CF Bitcoin Real Time Index and settle in cash. However, Nasdaq still needs final approval from the Commodity Futures Trading Commission before trading can begin.The planned product would give equity traders another Bitcoin-linked instrument outside spot Bitcoin ETF options. It also comes as gold remains near record levels, keeping the debate around Bitcoin’s store-of-value role active. Cuban’s comments now add another layer to that debate as investors compare Bitcoin’s original purpose with its current market behavior.Also Read: Google Challenges Monopoly Verdict, Defends Apple Search DealJoin our WhatsApp Channel to get the latest news, exclusives and videos on WhatsApp

Privacy coins and quantum-resistant tokens gained fresh market attention as Bitcoin moved in a narrow range. The shift came as traders looked beyond major cryptocurrencies and moved capital into tokens with clear themes around privacy, on-chain trading, and future blockchain security.Bitcoin Stalls as Traders Move Into Smaller Crypto SectorsBitcoin, ether, XRP, and Solana traded with limited momentum after recent weekly losses. Reportedly, each of these major assets had fallen at least 2% over the past seven days, while Bitcoin traded near $77,300.However, the wider crypto market did not stay quiet. Several smaller sectors posted gains as traders searched for stronger short-term narratives. Tokens linked to perpetual-futures platforms, led by Hyperliquid’s HYPE, rose sharply after on-chain trading volumes increased.HYPE gained attention after the trade.xyz listed a Space pre-IPO perpetual contract on the Hyperliquid blockchain. The contract valued Space at $1.78 trillion, while first-day trading volume crossed $30 million. DefiLlama data also showed Hyperliquid earned millions in weekly fees and took more than 40% of total market fee revenue.Privacy Coins Gain as Surveillance Concerns GrowPrivacy cryptocurrencies also moved higher as investors focused on coins built around confidential transactions. Zcash, Dash, NYM, and other privacy-linked tokens gained attention as users weighed concerns around surveillance, data tracking and public blockchain activity.Arthur Hayes has described privacy as a core need as AI tools, large technology firms, and government monitoring expand. Ethereum co-founder Vitalik Buterin also outlined steps this week to bring stronger privacy features to Ethereum.Still, market doubts remain. The rally has raised the question, “Are investors buying real security, or are they buying the story of security?” That doubt matters as privacy coins often attract strong narratives before adoption data confirms lasting demand.Development activity gave the move more support. Santiment data pointed to strong repository work across privacy-focused projects, including Chainlink, Dash, and NYM. Active commits and contributor growth show that some teams continue to build while prices move higher.Quantum-Resistant Coins Rise Ahead of Real ThreatsQuantum-resistant tokens also gained as traders priced future blockchain security risks. CoinDesk cited gains of 6% to 25% in assets such as Quantum Resistant Ledger’s QRL, Qubitcoin’s QTC, and Starknet’s STRK.Quantum risk remains distant for most blockchain users. Yet Google researchers have warned that a powerful quantum machine could, in theory, attack Bitcoin with fewer resources than earlier estimates suggested. That warning has pushed some investors toward coins that claim stronger defenses.Even so, doubts remain around timing and value. The phrase “traders are front-running the narrative, not the event” fits the current move since practical quantum attacks remain years away. Many buyers may seek exposure to a future risk before the threat becomes active.Whale activity also needs careful reading. Large altcoin transactions have increased, but whale movement can reflect buying or selling. In thin markets, distribution can appear like accumulation when a fresh narrative attracts new liquidity.For now, privacy and quantum-resistant coins have taken market attention while Bitcoin waits for a stronger catalyst. The rotation is real, but the trade still depends on volume, delivery, and whether major crypto assets remain quiet.Also Read: CLARITY Act Odds Slide as Traders Weigh a Tougher Senate PathJoin our WhatsApp Channel to get the latest news, exclusives and videos on WhatsApp
