Claude's new system prompt really doesn't want to reproduce song lyrics
Anthropic published updated Claude consumer system prompts, including changes steering the model away from reproducing song lyrics, likely over copyright concerns.
Anthropic publishes system prompts for Claude.ai and Claude mobile apps, including historic revisions, and has reorganized them into an index with per-model pages such as the Haiku 4.5 page showing the original October 15, 2025 prompt and an updated January 18, 2026 version. The latest consumer prompt strongly discourages reproducing song lyrics, a behavioral constraint likely tied to copyright considerations. Prompts for Claude Cowork and Claude Code are not included in the published set.

Meta’s AI agent Muse is now the No. 2 app in the US
Meta's agentic AI app Muse ranked No. 2 on the US iOS charts with 83,000+ downloads, trailing Threads and ChatGPT launch pace.
Sensor Tower data shows Muse was downloaded over 83,000 times on iOS in the US, climbing from 4th to 2nd on the App Store, but below Threads' 4.3 million launch-day downloads and ChatGPT's 500,000 first-week installs. The Android version ranks only No. 338 in the Productivity category on Google Play. Muse launched days after Meta's $18 billion multistate settlement over social media consumer harms. Rival agent Instinct, valued at $2.5 billion with $350 million available, recently added Stripe and 1Password integrations.

Meta debuts its Muse AI agent. Will consumers trust it?
Meta launched Muse, a consumer AI agent powered by Muse Spark that connects to users' apps to execute tasks like emailing, booking travel, and payments.
Meta introduced Muse, a personal AI agent for US users that connects to email, calendars, payments, shopping, and other services to execute tasks such as booking travel, lowering bills, and completing purchases via Link by Stripe. The agent runs in a dedicated Muse Secure VM with a separate Sentinel agent kept apart at the system level, and Meta claims it cannot see passwords or payment data and does not share conversations with ad systems. Muse is free to start, with Power ($20/month) and Maximum ($100/month) subscription tiers, and is available on the web, iOS, Android, and WhatsApp, with Meta AI glasses support planned. The launch follows Meta's $18 billion multistate consumer-harms settlement and comes as rivals like Gemini Spark and Claude Cowork push agentic AI.

Hackers are stealing Claude tokens from subscribers
Infostealer malware is stealing Claude login sessions, letting attackers mint OAuth tokens and burn subscribers' paid usage largely undetected.
Anthropic confirmed a bad actor used common infostealer malware to steal Claude login sessions from users' computers and consume their paid usage. A UK consultant saw idle token usage climb, and Anthropic suspended his account, invalidated sessions and Claude Code tokens, and issued a £44.49 partial refund on his $200-per-month plan. Multiple other users on Reddit and GitHub reported similar theft; Anthropic signed out affected users and issued refunds, but still lacks itemized usage reporting to help users detect misuse.
