Anthropic Expands Claude for Financial Services with Excel Add-in, New Connectors, and Agent Skills
Anthropic is expanding its Claude for Financial Services offering with a beta Excel add-in (Claude for Excel), seven new real-time data connectors (including LSEG, Moody's, Aiera, and Chronograph), and six new pre-built Agent Skills covering tasks like DCF modeling, comparable company analysis, and initiating coverage reports. The updates build on Claude Sonnet 4.5's performance on the Finance Agent benchmark from Vals AI, where it scored 55.3% accuracy. Claude for Excel allows users to read, analyze, modify, and create Excel workbooks directly from a sidebar, with transparency into cell-level changes. These features are rolling out in preview to Max, Enterprise, and Teams users, with Citi cited as a notable enterprise adopter.
US Government Prepares AI Model Vetting System; GPT-5.5 Instant, Claude Finance Agents, Pentagon AI Partnerships
The White House is preparing an executive order to create an FDA-style vetting system for new AI models, prompted partly by Anthropic's Mythos model disclosing cybersecurity risks; the Commerce Department separately expanded a voluntary testing program with Google, Microsoft, and xAI. OpenAI rolled out GPT-5.5 Instant as the default ChatGPT model, claiming 52.5% fewer hallucinations on high-stakes prompts. Anthropic released ten financial agent templates running on Claude Opus 4.7, while the Pentagon expanded AI vendor agreements to include Microsoft, Amazon, Nvidia, and Reflection AI after canceling its Anthropic contract over autonomous weapons restrictions. Major pharma companies report AI gains primarily in manufacturing optimization rather than drug discovery breakthroughs.
