A New Stack roundup of Anthropic's March reveals a startup moving fast and breaking things, literally. The company launched 14 products in one month while suffering five service outages and accidentally leaking details about an unreleased feature called Claude Mythos. That's the kind of month that makes enterprise risk teams nervous.
