Anthropic Opens Claude to the Web – Today’s AI Brief

Hi AI Movers,

Happy Friday! Here’s your daily dose of AI news from First AI Movers Pro. Let’s jump right in.

Anthropic Gives Claude Real-Time Web Search

Anthropic has launched a web-search API that lets its Claude 3-series models pull live information before answering developers’ queries. The tool can generate its own search prompts, run multiple passes, and return cited results, saving teams from building search back-ends. Pricing starts at $10 per 1000 searches, and it already works with Claude 3.7 Sonnet, 3.5 Sonnet, and Haiku.
Why it matters: Giving models first-party access to fresh data edges them closer to fully agentic assistants—and turns Claude into a plug-and-play research brain for any product.

Meanwhile, in other corners of the AI world…
