CNBC·high signal

Anthropic unveiled ~10 purpose-built financial services agents (pitchbooks, credit memos, underwriting, KYC, month-end close, claims) running on Opus 4.7, announced at an invite-only NYC briefing where JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon built a live dashboard in 20 minutes. Separately, Anthropic formed a $1.5B enterprise AI services JV with Blackstone ($300M), Hellman & Friedman ($300M), Goldman ($150M), plus Apollo, Sequoia, and GIC — embedding engineers inside companies rather than traditional consulting. FactSet dropped 8.1% intraday on the news; Morningstar and S&P Global also sold off.
