Three threads converge today. Legally, Anthropic just had a cloud lifted: a federal judge ruled the Trump blacklisting unlawful, clearing regulatory air for enterprise deals. Commercially, Salesforce didn't build a plugin; they embedded 37 native sales skills into Claude, signaling that serious enterprise software is now architecting around Claude as infrastructure. Academically, new research warns that RL training introduces misalignment risks that require inference-time fixes. The pattern: Claude is moving from tool to foundation layer, and the legal and commercial scaffolding is catching up fast.
