Grindr Pivots to Anthropic, Amazon to Power AI Wingman Feature

Bloomberg30-04-2025
Grindr Inc. said it's using artificial intelligence tools from Amazon.com Inc. and Anthropic to develop features for its 'Wingman' product, rather than relying on chatbots from startup Ex-human Inc.
The LGBTQ dating brand is rolling out a feature from its product roadmap called 'A-List,' an automatically curated list that surfaces 'meaningful past connections, high-potential matches' and chat summaries. The goal is for users to pick up where they left off without digging through entire chat histories. 'A-list' will be available to 25% of Grindr users by the end of April and is powered by Anthropic's Claude Sonnet 3.7 model and Amazon Web Services' Bedrock tool.

Why Is Electronic Arts (EA) Stock Rocketing Higher Today

What Happened? Shares of video game publisher Electronic Arts (NASDAQ:EA) jumped 5.8% in the morning session after the company reported strong first-quarter financial results that surpassed expectations, overshadowing a weaker outlook for the upcoming quarter. The video game publisher announced strong preliminary financial results for its first quarter, reporting net revenue of $1.671 billion and net bookings of $1.298 billion, both of which surpassed expectations. Despite the strong performance, the company also issued a weaker-than-expected forecast for its second quarter, which initially caused the stock to dip in after-hours trading. The company attributed the softer outlook to the timing of revenue recognition for upcoming game releases and increased marketing expenses. However, investor sentiment appeared to shift, focusing on the current strong results over the future guidance. The positive move was also supported by B of A Securities, which raised its price target on the stock to $168 from $166. Is now the time to buy Electronic Arts? Access our full analysis report here, it's free. What Is The Market Telling Us Electronic Arts's shares are not very volatile and have only had 3 moves greater than 5% over the last year. In that context, today's move indicates the market considers this news meaningful, although it might not be something that would fundamentally change its perception of the business. The previous big move we wrote about was 8 days ago when the stock gained 3.2% on the news that the company received a vote of confidence from Wall Street. Analyst Alicia Reese at Wedbush reaffirmed an "Outperform" rating on the stock. An "Outperform" rating suggests the analyst believes the stock will achieve returns superior to the broader market average. Electronic Arts is up 8.5% since the beginning of the year, and at $158.32 per share, it is trading close to its 52-week high of $167.97 from November 2024. Investors who bought $1,000 worth of Electronic Arts's shares 5 years ago would now be looking at an investment worth $1,142. Here at StockStory, we certainly understand the potential of thematic investing. Diverse winners from Microsoft (MSFT) to Alphabet (GOOG), Coca-Cola (KO) to Monster Beverage (MNST) could all have been identified as promising growth stories with a megatrend driving the growth. So, in that spirit, we've identified a relatively under-the-radar profitable growth stock benefiting from the rise of AI, available to you FREE via this link.

Anthropic cuts off OpenAI's access to its Claude models

Anthropic has revoked OpenAI's access to its Claude family of AI models, according to a report in Wired. Sources told Wired that OpenAI was connecting Claude to internal tools that allowed the company to compare Claude's performance to its own models in categories like coding, writing, and safety. TechCrunch has reached out to Anthropic and OpenAI for comment. In a statement to Wired, an Anthropic spokesperson said, 'OpenAI's own technical staff were also using our coding tools ahead of the launch of GPT-5,' which is apparently 'a direct violation of our terms of service.' (Anthropic's commercial terms forbid companies from using Claude to build competing services.) However, Anthropic also said it would continue to give OpenAI access for 'benchmarking and safety evaluations.' Meanwhile, an OpenAI spokesperson said, 'While we respect Anthropic's decision to cut off our API access, it's disappointing considering our API remains available to them.' Anthropic executives had already shown resistance to providing access to competitors, with Chief Science Officer Jared Kaplan previously justifying the company's decision to cut off Windsurf (a rumored OpenAI acquisition target, subsequently acquired by Cognition) by saying, 'I think it would be odd for us to be selling Claude to OpenAI.'
