Claude can help build 3D scenes, remove unwanted objects, composite shots, and grade footage while leaving projects you can keep editing. What can these skills handle, and what do you need to prepare?
A team from traditional animation used Blender previs, Claude-written prompts, and AI video generation to make a car chase sequence. They laid it all out: routing shots at the storyboard, the asset-first approach, a five-block video prompt, and three failures.
Home connects conversations to Office files, Code lets business users build tools, and Autopilot follows through across days. Microsoft is also addressing where they run, which business data they use, and how they are billed.
Understand what effort changes, examine three development experiments, then choose settings across requirements interviews, rapid implementation, human review, and thorough verification.
A prototype satellite will carry four TPUs into orbit to test launch vibration, radiation, and heat dissipation in real conditions; inter-satellite laser interconnects await the next phase.
It listens to voice, processes live visual scenes, and responds with synchronized speech and dynamic avatars; asynchronous tool calling keeps reception, touring, and service dialogues flowing.
Drawing on the phonograph, the talkies, and computer animation, the DreamWorks co-founder looks back at historical disruption. He believes AI will expand expression—while insisting artists help set the terms for consent, credit, and compensation.

All ways to subscribe →Karina Nguyen and Jakub Zegzulka built a research demo on the Joe Rogan episode with Elon Musk: tap the screen mid-show to ask a question, and the person on screen turns to answer, draws a diagram, switches language or takes you to Mars, then the show picks up again. All 12 demos have subtitles, and the piece ends with the current limitations and risks.
X user NotinReality handed the lyrics and audio to Claude Opus 5.5, which wrote JavaScript to paint a 156-second hand-drawn watercolor music video frame by frame, without any image or video generation model. This piece breaks down the difference between the two rounds, how the model split the work into chapters and ran them in parallel, and then walks you step by step through making your own animation with ClaudeAnimationBase, the template the creator open-sourced.
The new text-to-speech models support designing voices through natural language descriptions, replicating voices from short audio clips, and using script annotations to direct tone, sighs, laughter, and backchanneling. Here is a clear breakdown of the differences between the two models, script notation, benchmark wins and losses, and where to access them.
Anthropic's developer guide organized around "what problem are you facing": migrating from Opus 5, adjusting effort, max_tokens, disabled thinking, unattended agents, progress updates, refusals, paste injection, vision, and frontend generation—complete with copy-pasteable official prompt snippets.
Calculate the cost of a task using list API pricing, then optimize spending through testing, effort levels, model selection, caching, and /usage—complete with two reusable templates.
Gagan Biyani announces the founding of Horowitz Andreessen Academy: restructuring post-high school learning around self-directed projects, short courses, and industry co-ops, backed by Silicon Valley tools, teams, and peer networks to help young people turn ideas into real work. What is this training model trying to change, and what does it still need to prove?
A practical sequence for setting a finish line, running long Claude Code tasks, reviewing the work, and handling model switches and speed settings.
SpaceXAI integrated Grok Bot into ticketing, engineering, and observability systems, spanning preliminary investigations, refund execution, and closing the loop with product teams. The core of this playbook lies in task triaging, gradual permission delegation, and continuous improvement.
Combining official charts, X videos, and a week of hands-on testing by Every, see which longstanding issues it resolves, what creations it produces, and what it feels like in day-to-day use.
Sol improves code mergeability and factual reliability, while Luna delivers higher cost-performance across professional long-horizon tasks, software engineering, and computer use. Here is a look at what changed in capabilities, followed by how pricing and prompt caching lower operating costs.
Enable your own X Number and share it with people you want to reach out to, allowing direct DMs and calls in X Chat without having to follow back or accept message requests one by one.
By equipping each Git branch with a stable URL, dedicated configuration, and runtime logs, an Agent can progress from writing code to testing, triage, and remediation. The key is understanding which state is isolated automatically and which resources still require manual configuration.
