  "summary": "Anthropic has released findings from a pilot study that allowed three external researchers to analyze real-world usage of its AI model, Claude. According to Anthropic, one of the studies found that users tend to delegate high-stakes tasks to Claude.\n\nThe pilot study provided the researchers with aggregate data on Claude's usage. No further details on the studies or their findings were made available.\n\nAnthropic has also introduced a new feature for its desktop app, allowing Claude to access a built-in Chromium-based browser, according to The New Stack. This feature is currently rolling out to paying subscribers of Pro, Max, and Team plans. Previously, users had to install a Chrome extension to enable web browsing for Claude.",
