Salesforce has partnered with Anthropic to make Claude 3.5 Sonnet, Claude 3 Opus, and Claude 3 Haiku available to Salesforce customers through Amazon Bedrock via a Bring Your Own LLM feature. The integration enables Claude to power custom AI experiences and Agentforce Agent actions across CRM use cases including sales, marketing, customer service, healthcare, and financial services. Claude models are accessible through Einstein Studio and operate within Salesforce's Einstein Trust Layer for security and compliance. This expands Anthropic's enterprise distribution through a major CRM platform with a large existing customer base.
Anthropic will appoint Paul Smith as its first Chief Commercial Officer, with the role to begin later in 2025. Smith brings over 30 years of enterprise go-to-market experience from Microsoft, Salesforce, and ServiceNow. The announcement coincides with Anthropic citing strong enterprise growth metrics, including hundreds of thousands of active API customers and Claude Code recurring revenue growing over 5x in two months.

OpenAI released GPT-5.4 mini and nano, smaller variants optimized for speed with benchmark results on SWE-Bench Pro and OSWorld-Verified, priced at $0.75 and $0.20 per million input tokens respectively. Nvidia also released Nemotron 3 Nano 4B, a hybrid Mamba-Transformer 4B parameter on-device model. Additional items cover Midjourney V8 alpha (5x faster, diffusion-only) and Mamba-3, a 1.5B state space model from CMU and Together.AI with improved accuracy over Mamba-2.
Anthropic announced the appointment of Chris Ciauri as Managing Director of International, alongside expanded global offices in Dublin, London, Zurich, and Tokyo. The company disclosed run-rate revenue growth from $87M at the start of 2024 to over $5B in August 2025, with enterprise customers growing from under 1,000 to over 300,000 in two years. The announcement includes deployment case studies from NBIM, the European Parliament, Novo Nordisk, SK Telecom, Commonwealth Bank of Australia, Rakuten, United Airlines, and TELUS, illustrating broad international enterprise adoption of Claude.
Anthropic and Salesforce have announced an expanded partnership making Claude a preferred foundational model for Salesforce's Agentforce platform, with a focus on regulated industries including financial services, healthcare, cybersecurity, and life sciences. Claude operates within Salesforce's virtual private cloud trust boundary via Amazon Bedrock, making Anthropic the first LLM provider fully integrated within that boundary. The partnership also includes Salesforce deploying Claude Code across its global engineering organization, a bidirectional Slack-Claude integration via MCP server, and plans to co-develop industry-specific AI solutions starting with financial services. Early adopters include RBC Wealth Management and CrowdStrike.
Anthropic has acquired Bun, the high-performance JavaScript runtime and all-in-one toolchain founded by Jarred Sumner in 2021, to accelerate Claude Code's infrastructure. Claude Code reached $1 billion in annualized run-rate revenue in November 2025, just six months after its May 2025 general availability launch. The acquisition deepens an existing partnership—Bun was already integral to Claude Code's infrastructure scaling and its native installer launch. Bun will remain open source and MIT-licensed, with Anthropic committing continued investment in the project.
Salesforce is integrating OpenAI's enterprise-grade large language models into its customer applications. The partnership focuses on trust and safety features suited for enterprise deployment. No specific model names or technical capabilities are detailed in the announcement.
