Claude’s consumer growth surge continues after Pentagon deal debacle

Claude, an AI chatbot made by Anthropic, is gaining users rapidly on mobile devices after the company's leadership refused to let the Pentagon use it for mass surveillance or autonomous weapons. Claude's daily active users on phones reached 11.3 million in early March, up 183% since the start of the year, and the app became the top-ranked app in the U.S. and 15 other countries, with over 1 million new sign-ups per day.
