Benchmark Study Reveals GBDTs Outperform LLM Agents in Payment Fraud Detection

A new benchmark study evaluates the effectiveness of gradient-boosted decision trees (GBDTs) versus large language model (LLM) agents in payment fraud detection. Conducted on a local CPU without the need for GPUs or cloud accounts, the benchmark assesses latency, cost, and reproducibility. The results indicate that GBDTs remain superior for synchronous payment authorizations, while agents are better suited for asynchronous tasks. The study provides detailed metrics including a PR-AUC of 0.847 and ROC-AUC of 0.931 for the GBDT model, based on synthetic data that simulates real-world transaction features. The source code for the benchmark is publicly available on GitHub, allowing for independent verification of results.

Anthropic’s Claude Grows in Popularity Among Paid Consumers Despite ChatGPT Dominance

Recent data from Indagari, a credit card transaction analysis company, reveals that Anthropic's AI model, Claude, is increasingly favored by consumers who pay for AI services. The analysis indicates a significant rise in Claude's paying users, with revenue up approximately 75% since January 2026. This trend continues despite a spike in growth after Anthropic's stance against the Trump administration's use of its models for mass surveillance. Additionally, interest in Claude has surged on DataCamp, where it has become the most searched term, surpassing 'AI.' However, despite Claude's growth, ChatGPT remains the leading AI choice among consumers, though Claude is closing the gap in revenue and consumer interest.
