Today on the AI Daily Brief, why Claude Tag and approaches like it might change how you use AI.
Before that in the headlines, an anthropic customer has sued the U.S. over losing Fable, but can it possibly help?
The AI Daily Brief is a daily podcast and video about the most important news and discussions in AI.
All right, friends, quick announcements before we dive in.

And lastly, this week, I am continuing to remind folks about the executive agent leadership
program, which is the enterprise-grade descendant of Enterprise Claw, now offered in conjunction
with Super Intelligent, you can find out about that at Training.Besuper.a.I. The next cohort begins on
Monday, June 29th, so if you're interested in that, check it out. Well, here we are,
heading towards the back half of this week, with a return of Fable 5, no closer insight. In fact,
the rumor mill suggests that we are not in line for pretty much any models for some time.
Later this week, I'm going to do a show about what you can do to make the most of this forced AI
model pause, but for now, let's look at some of the conversations that are actually shaping the
discourse. Now, first up, I flag this before, but I want to take this chance to flag it again.
Right now, emotions are running at an 11 when it comes to this anthropic news.
I saw a post go viral on X about the significance of this bipartisan letter asking Howard
Ludnik if Anthropic had been singled out, but friends, this is at this point about a week old,
and these sort of open congressional letters don't actually do anything. They don't usually get
responses, this is in a word a nothing burger. One thing that also probably amounts to nothing,
but is at least a little bit more interesting, is that one anthropic customer is taking it upon
themselves to get the model reinstated by suing the government. In a lawsuit filed on Tuesday,
a legal tech firm called Legion claimed the ban was illegal and damaging their business.
The harm to Legion is immediate, irreparable, and existential, the lawsuit stated. The pace of
frontier AI advancement is blistering and competitive ground lost during a suspension cannot be regained
after the fact. Certainly, regardless of the ultimate success of this lawsuit, I think that is a sentiment
that many of you listening now will agree with. The filing claim that export control laws do not
cover shutting down access to cloud software, a point that many other legal commentators made as soon
as the ban was announced. Serving computer code or text outputs from a computer isn't typically
seen as an export that can be proper subject of export controls. In the alternative, if the ban
relied on IEEPA power similar to sanctions, the lawsuit notes that these powers do not
apply to information and no prerequisite national security emergency was declared.
Further, the lawsuit argues the move was overbroad and possibly retaliatory towards Anthropic.
It also notes the decision to block distribution of a model directly contradicts the executive
order sign at the beginning of June, which ruled out the idea of a model licensing scheme.
In making their argument, Legion centers the facts on their Canadian development team losing
access to the model, pointing out that targeting allied nations with export controls is highly
unusual. Anthropic for their part
remained silent on the matter, and there is certainly no
indication this lawsuit is being filed on their behalf
by a third party. In commons to the press,
they referred to previous statements indicating they're grateful
to the administration for working quickly to resolve
the issue. Now, in terms of the potential
success of this, at this point,
most legal analysts that I've seen seem to think
that the administration has gone outside the bounds of
the law on this one, but also that it's unlikely
to be a clear-cut decision for a judge,
and frankly, none of that is going to actually matter
because as long as Anthropic is taking it seriously,
which they clearly are, presumably,
and oh my gosh, hopefully, it'll be resolved through negotiation before any legal process
could actually make it through the courts.
Now, the administration's friskiness when it comes to controlling the flow of AI is doing nothing
but increasing.
The most recent news is that the administration is now pressuring meta to agree to voluntary
model review.
Stores has told the New York Times that the White House is pressing meta to submit their
AI models for safety and performance testing prior to release.
Meta is currently the loan holdout among major AI labs after Microsoft, XAI, and Google
signed agreements shortly before the recent executive
order on AI and cybersecurity. Now, reportedly, the administration's request seem to only relate to
testing at the Center for AI Standards and Innovation at the Commerce Department, not whatever
additional security testing has been going on at the NSA. And meta does seem to be leaning
towards an agreement with a spokesperson commenting, we share the administration's goal of advancing
U.S. leadership on robust and secure frontier AI. While we are working through the details,
we hope to sign the agreement soon. Still, the whole idea of pressuring a company to submit their
technology for government testing really highlights just how air quotes voluntary.
the program actually is.
And having contained advanced AI models,
the Commerce Department is reportedly turning to robots
as their next technology to ban.
Politico reports that Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnik
held a closed-door meeting on Monday
to discuss the risk of Chinese-made models.
According to notes provided to Politico,
Letnik said,
We don't want state-subsidized robotics attacking us in America.
This is the arms race that is coming.
Robotic arms are coming.
We need to make sure they're produced in America,
so we're going to study those right now.
Commerce Department officials reportedly view state-backed
to Chinese robot companies as a massive threat, fearing they could proliferate through global markets
before U.S. alternatives hit scale. Chinese robots are already subject to steep tariffs, but the
Commerce Department is considering additional action. The Monday meeting included more than a dozen
executives from major firms, including Boston Dynamics, SpaceX, Siemens, and Goldman Sachs.
The major topic of the meeting was how the U.S. can best rebuild its industrial base,
but apparently the risks of Chinese robots dominated the discussion. One source said,
the whole idea that what we're going to end up with is an American brain with a Chinese body
is a very, very bad strategic plan.
Now, it's unclear from the reporting how fast we should expect to crackdown,
but the sabres are already rattling elsewhere in Washington.
On Monday, the X account for the Congressional Select Committee on China posted a screenshot
of a Unitary Humanoid Robot for sale through Amazon.
It's priced at $17,990 and can ship to Washington in a month.
The Select Committee added,
Unitry was recently designated as a Chinese military company,
and its products are a threat to our national security, yet here is Amazon selling a unitary robot in America.
We need Chairman Molnar's Guard Act to stop this threat and support American robotics.
Now, several Chinese robotics firms have received the same designation, which many see as a precursor to a Huawei-style ban.
Now, on the topic of American-made robots, Elon Musk recently said that they are in the final stages of completion of Optimus 3,
which he says is really going to be by far the most advanced robot in the world.
Nothing's even close.
But people are, I would say, fairly skeptical of those claims.
Speaking of Elon, though, XAI has followed suit to OpenAI and Anthropic introducing the
Goals Primitive in an update to their coding harness GROC built.
As with the goal command in Codex, this allows users to define an outcome and set GROC
to work on a long horizon task.
Groc will continue working across multiple steps, deploying subagents to complete individual
tasks, and orchestrating the entire process without user intervention.
The orchestration process includes planning, implementation, and verification to ensure a high
quality output. So a couple things to make this worthy of inclusion here. First of all, it reinforces
the idea that slash goal is an actual new AIUX primitive, not just a generic feature. But second,
this is our first glimpse of what the XAI cursor partnership will look like after the acquisition
was finalized last week. The goal command natively uses a fine tune of GROC called GROC build 0.1,
as well as cursor's Composer 2.5 to complete its tasks. And the combination has at least the
potential to be more than the sum of its parts. Composer is known for cost-effective high performance,
it a natural fit for coding subagents, and while the latest version of the flagship GROC model
didn't grab that much attention on release, one big point of differentiation it tried to make
was a sophisticated orchestration process built into the model. When used as a chatbot,
this mostly just resulted in subagents arguing over how to interpret information, but that same
process applied to coding tasks could make GROC really good at that sort of orchestration.
We'll see what comes next and whether this makes any waves, but certainly the update to build
reinforces the idea that XAI at this point, as much as SpaceX is becoming a neoclux,
isn't quite done releasing AI products just yet.
Speaking of AI products, one that is getting a lot of attention is BightDance 2.5.
We've started to get a ton of previews of the new model,
which doubles maximum clip length from 15 to 30 seconds and adds 4K resolution.
The new version also supports up to 50 input references to use as objects or characters within scenes.
By comparison, Seed Dance 2.0 could handle 12 references,
and Google's V0 3.1 released back in January maxed out at 3.
C Dance 2.5 is also able to make use of image, video, and audio files as references the first time anyone has moved beyond images.
Now, so far it doesn't look like anyone has actually got their hands on the model,
so we're just going off of a demo clip provided by ByteDance.
Yet that's enough for people to suggest that this will be the mythos moment of video models.
Simon Smith, who I'm fairly sure isn't getting paid by ByteDance.
By the way, that's a joke. If you've heard Simon Smith quoted here, he was very, very much not getting paid by ByteDance,
wondered how they managed to gain such a big lead in video.
He asked, Seed Dance seemed to be pulling away in the video generation race.
Is there a recursive feedback loop at work here?
If so, what is it?
Are they generating training data with each generation to train the next?
If so, what do they do to increase quality with each iteration?
Whatever it is, the corpus of training content they have access to through TikTok seems
to be paying off.
Lastly, today, I don't want to get into it deeply, but one story that I am keeping an eye on
is some of the market moves that I had previously discussed with regard to Google,
specifically moving to a broader AI sell-off, to the extent that this becomes a more significant
narrative trend, as opposed to just a particular market moment, we'll come back and explore it more.
For now that that's going to do it for today's headlines. Next up, the main episode.
One of the most important AI questions right now isn't who's using AI. It's who's using it well.
KPMG in the University of Texas at Austin just analyzed 1.4 million real workplace AI interactions
and found something surprising. The highest impact users aren't better prompt engineers. They treat
AI like a reasoning partner. They frame problems, guide thinking, iterate, and push for better answers.
And the good news? These behaviors are teachable at scale. If you're trying to move from AI access to real
capability, KPMG's research on sophisticated AI collaboration is worth your time. Learn more at KPMG.com

Today's episode is brought to you by the new executive agent leadership program, produced by super-intelligent and by frequent AIDB operators guest, Newfar.
To tell you a little bit more about the executive agent leadership program, here is Newfar.
The best predictor of agent adoption in an organization is how hands-on their leaders are.
Talking about agents is completely different than building them.
Our participants, AISISIS, all the way to C-suite, have built working agent fleets, governance
frameworks and the playbooks to scale it.
Executive agent leadership is the evolution of enterprise claw.
Everything we've learned across three cohorts rebuilt for right now.
The token economy, security, vendor resilience, and architecture to lead agent adoption at scale.
The next cohort of the executive agent leadership program is signing up now and we'll launch on June 29th.

Welcome back to the AI Daily Brief. Sometimes big stories in AI are extremely obvious. For example,
the U.S. government sending a note telling Anthropic that they're using export controls
to deny access to the latest model to everyone who's not American, and Anthropic responding
by taking down the model that they had released just a few days ago for everyone,
that's a big story in a very obvious way. Today's story is big not because of some geopolitical
implications, but because of the way that it potentially changes at somewhat of a core level
how we think about interacting with AI at work. Now, the feature we're discussing is called
Claude Tag, which Claude announced on Tuesday as a new way for teams to work with Claude.
And to put it really simply, it's basically Claude in Slack, but not just as a different channel
to prompt Claude, but instead, as a full team member that has access to all of the context from
all the different channels, as well as the different tools that your team is already using.
Anthropic writes,
Claude Tag is an evolution of Claude code made more proactive and built to work with a full
team. It's now one of the main ways we get things done at Anthropic.
65% of our product team's code now comes from our internal version.
Tag Claude with a request and it breaks the task into stages, works through them with the
tools it has access to, and responds in the thread with what it creates.
It'll write or merge pull requests, run data analysis, or help resolve an incident.
In a channel, that's a channel on Slack, there's one Claude that interacts with everyone so a teammate can pick up exactly where you left off.
It builds more context about the work as it follows the channel, so you don't need to explain things from scratch.
Turn ambient behavior on and Claude takes initiative.
It follows up on threads that have gone quiet and flags what's relevant from across its channels and tools.
So for someone who is moving fast, you could be forgiven for thinking it's just another agent in Slack sort of announcement, of which we've had a fair few.
But just based on the way that the Anthropic team was talking about it, there's clearly something
going on here. Anthropic team member Alexander Bricken writes,
Claude Tag has completely changed the way we do work at Anthropic.
Having the multiplayer experience of Claude within Slack with all of the fundamental primitives
of Claude Code, like proactivity, subagents, and Long Horizon task management is an entirely
new way to do work asynchronously.
Tobin South writes, Claude Tag is how I do 90% plus of my work.
I even had people from Anthropic texting me specifically.
when I didn't cover it on yesterday's show, basically arguing behind the scenes that this is a big deal.
Now, I had already begun planning this episode when those tech started coming in, but still,
that should tell you how the team behind it views its significance.
Now, this is not the only feature of this type that's available.
Now, Anthropic is not the first company to release something like this.
The semi-analysis team wrote,
Proplexity's computer Slack co-worker has been wildly useful internally at semi-analysis,
which is why Anthropic launched a computing product.
The team is configuring Claude Tag AI coworkers and is excited to compare and contrast them with perplexity computer.
Click Health Simon Smith wrote,
Immediately asked our CTO to activate Clod Tag.
We already use ChatGPT workspace agents in Slack.
They're great for a bunch of use cases like providing support based on prior resolved Slack posts,
and summarizing Slack activity to create a weekly brief.
The difference with Claude Tag is that this level of configuration isn't even necessary.
You just drop Claude into a Slack channel and it picks up the context and becomes useful.
We currently create one Slack channel per project.
We've historically also created chat GPT projects and Notebook LM notebooks along with those Slack channels to work with AI, duplicating or triplicating context across all those surfaces.
Now, we can just create the Slack channel as we've always done and drop Claude in.
I also think this will massively help with AI diffusion.
People don't have to install Claude desktop to access Claude's most powerful capabilities in co-work and code.
They can just interact with Claude as if it's another person in Slack.
No less than Andre Carpathy argued that this is indeed a bigger deal than it seems at first.
He wrote,
This is a new paradigm for interacting with Claude
that is significantly more in line with all the other human activity org-wide.
Once you do all of the under-the-hood engineering work to make this just work,
e.g. across tools, integrations, compute environments, memory security, etc.,
Claude basically joins the team in a seamless way.
You can talk to it as you would talk to a person,
and it can help with a very large variety of workloads.
In my opinion, this is the third major redesign of LLMUIUX.
The first paradigm was that the LLM is a website you go to,
The second was that it is an app you download on your computer.
The third one is that it is a self-contained, persistent, asynchronous entity with org-wide tools
and context, working alongside teams of humans.
It really takes a while to wrap your head around it, but it works, and it is awesome.
Now, for a lot of folks, the big eye-blinking statistic was that Anthropic is saying that
65% of their product team's code now comes from Claude Tag.
EJazz wrote,
It's blowing my mind that 65% of product code in Anthropic is now written by
tagging Claude in group chats of staff discussing what they want to build.
RIP, the days of tediously writing long product docs, now you can literally go from Slack to a
production-ready feature. Cloud code is barely a year old, by the way.
Developer Nick Dobos wrote, Anthropic isn't using Claude anymore? Major Agent UX shift alert,
and I think this is one of the sneaky things that's going to take people a little while
to fully wrap their heads around. While you might be tagging at Claude, what you're really
calling upon is Claude Code. Now, certainly, both Anthropic and OpenAI have already, have
already spent lots of cycles trying to make the coding capabilities of their tools more accessible
for non-coders. But this is the biggest move in that direction yet. When Claude already exists in
the workspace that you're operating in, the barrier to using it to build something is having an idea
and dropping it into the Slack where you're already working. Now, while it's early days for non-anthropic
users, many were quick to share what they had learned from using Claude Tag over the past few weeks
or months. Claude co-team member Tarek pointed out that each Claude in each channel is different. One suggestion
he had was to introduce, air quotes, Claude to a new channel with a pin message and a set of
instructions to remember, like which persona to take, when to respond, etc. He says you can think of
it like it's Claude.md because all of this will get added to its memory. Tarek also suggests
having a personal channel, e.g. Tarek dash Claude where you can tag Claude for your own work
and give an instruction specific to you. You can then forward other messages to that channel,
so your Claude can get to work the way you like. He also noted that this helps with overwhelm,
because when things get going, it can be hard to keep track of all the threads. He wrote,
In my personal channel, I like to ask Claude to keep a PIN message that it updates with the status of everything.
He even uses a set of emojis to be able to help him understand where different work streams are in a single glance.
Chris Taylor from Fractional, who joined the broader anthropic ecosystem to run their version of a forward-deployed engineering group,
described how they had been using it across their company.
He said it kind of works like a coworker that just picks things up.
It owns busy work, daily status summaries, following up when people are out of office,
nudging teammates on open-to-dos, pushing back due dates, his plans shift.
Chris said that when one of its own scheduled tasks started misfiring, it caught the bug,
fixed it and wrote it up without being asked.
He also said that it manages itself.
We needed somewhere to track bugs and ideas for Claude Tag while we were testing it,
so it built that tracker for us and files every new issue and use case on its own.
Finally, reinforcing that this is in fact a fully fledged version of Claude Code Code Code,
not just Claude, he says it writes in ships.
Handed one of our code bases, Claude read through it,
wrote up the 10 most important problems to fix, stack ranked,
then made the changes and opened them for review all in Slack.
The Klaude Dev team shared that they're using it for incident response,
bug triage, dependent work, i.e. work that's blocked on something else,
background watching, and monitoring metrics.
Nityesh from the Every Team wrote about why this will feel familiar to many.
He said,
Claw-Tag has completely changed the way I do work for the last four months.
Except it's not Claude Tag.
Anthropic only announced that a few hours ago and I don't even have access to it,
but I did build a version of it for myself, which I've been using for months now.
Basically, he said that after OpenClaw came online,
he built a harness that allowed him to turn any Mac into an AI employee with the ClaudeCode
headless mode. He then ended up building three such employees and had them working in Slack for the last
few months. Now, this idea of agents inside Slack is also something that we've experimented a lot with
over here as well. One of the reasons that I burned through a billion tokens in March is that I was
experimenting with a series of AI enablement agents that lived in Slack and could do things like
figuring out how we were using AI, providing coaching on how to better use AI, and developing overall
AI strategy. Now, you also might remember me talking about a month ago about how the team at
every had shifted their agent strategy from originally having every employee build an AI agent
version of themselves to instead having a group of agents that worked across employees based on
function and goal and had shared context. Claude Tag in many ways seems to be institutionalizing
some of those shifts as best practice. So trying to sum this all up, let's talk about the five
big shifts that I think Claude Tag could represent. And keep in mind, this is
not just about Claude Tag as a feature, but about it as a leading indicator of how labs and
agent app companies are thinking about the future of AI at work. The first big shift is from an
app native interface to existing workplace interfaces. Obviously, this breaks agents out of the
controlled settings of the web app or the desktop apps that the labs have built and instead
uses the existing spaces that people do work in. Now, to some extent, one has to think that this
was inevitable. As you try to shift behavior and get everyone working in a new way, one of the
biggest points of friction is the new interfaces that they have to go interact with. The fact that the full
power of Claude code and everything that it can build is now accessible from the most default
channel where people are working seems likely to me to make a big difference in terms of who
accesses that power. Likewise, this moves AI from a private chatbot to a shared teammate experience.
Now, of course, there have been no shortage of sharing-based features to break your personal chats out
their home. In fact, both OpenAI and Anthropic have released versions of better native website
slash web app builders in order to help make sharing more easily. This, of course, takes that to the
next level, which also leads to our third shift, which is from single user context, i.e. what the
AI or agent knows about you to the full team context. Part of the power of moving the agent from its
native home to your team's native home is that it gets access to the ambient context that exists
all around it without you having to create an entirely different way of accessing all that context.
Now, already, ClawTag also reinforces a shift which was already very much happening,
which is the shift from prompting to delegation as the main mode of interacting with AI.
Already throughout the year, as agent capacity has come online,
people have been slowly but surely breaking out of the way that they used to interact with these tools.
A big part of that has been in shifting from telling the AI what to do,
to telling it what you are trying to accomplish,
and giving it more freedom and latitude to accomplish an ever-expanding scale of goals.
Lastly, Clawed tag and more broadly, agents that work,
in your team's workspaces, shift AI's importance from something that becomes personally essential
to key workers to an actual organizational dependency, a new way of working not just individually,
but across the entire team. Which is not to say that there aren't challenges. First of all,
while yes, this is theoretically just dropping Claude into Slack, there are a lot of questions
around access and tool configuration that make its setup potentially much more complicated than it at
first seams. Anthropic released an entire blog post about best practices for setting up agent identity
in this new Claude Tag paradigm. They also pointed out some best practices around permissions,
which wouldn't necessarily be obvious at first glance. Gail Weiner points out that while the positive
side is the democratization of Claude Code capabilities to a broader subset of the organization,
the flip side of that is that something like Claude Tag potentially runs into existing trust
barriers and skepticism that could create a challenge. She describes a scenario where there are five
people on a team with her as the AI power user, two members of the team not trusting AI, one team
thinking that the power user uses AI too much, and another being indifferent. Gail writes,
I start tagging Claude in the project chat and here's what happens in that room. The moment
Claude is in the channel every message anyone types is being read by it. It stops looking like a tool
the team uses and starts looking like my tool that's now sitting in everyone's workspace.
I become the person who brought the surveillance device to the meeting, even if that's not
what it is. The skeptics position gets validated every time Claude produces something good.
see, she's outsourcing her thinking, and every time it produces something mediocre.
See, this is what we were worried about. You can't win that frame.
Basically, she's arguing that this creates a whole new challenge around the human layer
that will have to be solved as well.
One specific thing that seems fairly challenging to me
is that despite the fact that you just use at clod for every instance of where you want to call
upon these capabilities, different clods and different channels have potentially access
to different tools and different permissions and different contexts,
and that feels like it'll get confusing super, super fast.
In fact, in Simon Smith's first impressions post later on,
he did write, clod being many clods is a bit disorienting.
I've come to think of clod as my clod, the one in the app that knows me
and connects to things I've connected it to, but there is no single clod in Slack.
It's channel dependent and admin configured.
And none of the clods are mine.
This seems to be a common feeling.
One of the first things I'm seeing is people tagging clod in channels to ask what it can do,
what it remembers, how it maintains context in the channel.
Indeed, how this creates new challenges and opportunities for context is a big topic of conversation.
And for some, in light of the Fable challenge, in light of everything that's happened with Fable,
there's also increasingly good reasons to not want to outsource this sort of process to a single closed provider.
HuggingFace's head of product Victor writes,
At HuggingFace, we've been building our own agent that we use via Slack.
Honestly, building your own is quite simple and you'll be happy you did.
Any model you want, including self-hosted if needed, fully customizable to your stack,
and of course no lock-in and no wait list and not overpriced.
Look, ultimately, it is very easy to overestimate the significance of any one new feature.
And yet, if for no other reason, then these significant shifts that the Anthropic team themselves are reporting,
it seems like Claude Tag is one paradigm shift that will at least be worth exploring.
I'll report back as we try it out and see what we learn.
For now that, that's going to do it for today's AI Daily Brief.
Appreciate you listening or watching as always.
And until next time, peace.
