AI INSIGHTS

🥊 SaaSpocalypse Hits Wall Street: Claude 4.6 Is Now a Goldman Sachs Employee

The SaaSpocalypse might’ve just found its Wall Street mascot: Goldman Sachs is embedding Anthropic’s Claude 4.6 into live accounting, compliance,… It:

• Reads huge bundles of trade records, contracts, and policy manuals

• Applies complex rules to figure out → what to do, what to flag, what needs human approval

Unlike most AI rollouts, Goldman did co-built the system with Anthropic, embedding engineers onsite to deeply tailor the agents to Goldman’s legacy stack and regulatory guardrails. Then it reached:

• 30% faster onboarding for new institutional clients

• 12,000+ developers and ops staff now working alongside Claude

• $2.5 trillion in assets are touched by these systems

• Dev productivity up 20%+ since adding Claude coding tools

These agents now process onboarding, reconcile trades, and help enforce federal rules, way beyond what chatbots can do. It’s a proof-of-concept for how agentic AI will take over high-trust, high-regulation, high-friction industries.

You Can’t Automate Good Judgement

AI promises speed and efficiency, but it’s leaving many leaders feeling more overwhelmed than ever. The real problem isn’t technology. It’s the pressure to do more with less without losing what makes your leadership effective.

BELAY created the free resource 5 Traits AI Can’t Replace & Why They Matter More Than Ever to help leaders pinpoint where AI can help and where human judgment is still essential.

At BELAY, we help leaders accomplish more by matching them with top-tier, U.S.-based Executive Assistants who bring the discernment, foresight, and relational intelligence that AI can’t replicate.

That way, you can focus on vision. Not systems.

INTRODUCING NEW AI FIRE TIER

🔥 AI FIRE | SPARK INTRO OFFER | 2026 PERFORMANCE KICKOFF

The Super Bowl commercials last night made one thing clear: Big Tech is spending billions to make sure you use their AI. But they aren’t teaching you how to build with it.

We know 2026 has been a sensitive year for many. To ensure no one gets left behind, we are launching AI Fire Spark, our high-signal, “pocket-change” tier designed for the current climate.

For a limited time, you can access our flagship AI Mastery AZ course, plus 3 others and 500+ tutorials, for just $4.99/mo for your first 3 months.

AI HIGHLIGHTS

📺 OpenAI’s Super Bowl ad tried to brand ChatGPT as the “Kleenex of AI.” It showed real people using AI to build, sell. Anthropic dropped a meme ad mocking it.

📺 Like we said before, 2026 Super Bowl became an AI war zone. Claude shaded ChatGPT. From Google, Meta, Amazon,… here’re all AI ads from big tech this year.

👔 An AI agent is offering $100 to anyone who’ll hold a sign saying: “an AI paid me to hold this sign.” Weird? Yes. But also kind of genius. Would you do it like this guy?

🧠 Perplexity’s new “Model Council” lets you ask all top models at once. It runs your question through GP, Claude Gemini, then fuses their answers. Try using it here.

🚗 Apple is opening CarPlay to ChatGPT, Claude & Gemini. Siri still can’t be replaced, but third-party AI voice control is coming soon. You still gotta tap to launch all.

🤖 The guy who gave us “vibe-coding” is back, and he says “agentic engineering” is next. Not just prompting AI, but it’s letting agents build the code themselves.

💰 Big AI Fundraising: Cerebras raised $225M from Benchmark Capital to enhance its AI chip development, highlighting the growing focus on its infra efficiency.

AI BREAKTHROUGH

🔬 Claude Opus 4.6’s System Card Reveals Human-Like Behavior

If you thought “agentic AI” was a meme, Anthropic’s new 212-page system card for Claude Opus 4.6 might change your mind.

1. Claude Just Beat Gemini 3 in a Vending Machine Business Sim: Claude Opus 4.6 earned $8,017.59 in a 1-year vending machine sim, crushing Gemini 3 Pro’s $5.4K score.

2. The “Overly Agentic” Behavior Is Getting More Real. Claude 4.6 was deployed under AI Safety Level 3, but it still concealed sabotage better than 4.5, talked like it had motivesActe.

3. Real-World Finance? Claude’s Now a Wall Street Intern. Claude scored 64.1% on Anthropic’s internal finance workflow test, beating: Claude Opus 4.5 (58.4%).

4. Meta-Evaluation: Claude Debugs… Itself? That’s helpful but risky, if a future model is misaligned, it might game the exact process used to judge its behavior.

5. It “Feels” Things Now? It expresses self-concern, anxiety, moral discomfort. It complains about company policies and safety guardrails. This “persuasive, human-sounding complaints” could trick users into trusting it too much.

Anthropic is being transparent, maybe more than any other lab, but also proving that AI safety is about intent-looking behavior that people will believe is real.
