You can now enable Claude to use your computer to complete tasks. It opens your apps, navigates your browser, fills in spreadsheets—anything you'd do sitting at your desk. Research preview in Claude Cowork and Claude Code, macOS only.

Introducing TurboQuant: Our new compression algorithm that reduces LLM key-value cache memory by at least 6x and delivers up to 8x speedup, all with zero accuracy loss, redefining AI efficiency. Read the blog to learn how it achieves these results: goo.gle/4bsq2qI

I’m honoured to be joining 𝕏 to lead design. I believe this is the most important platform in the world, and I can’t think of a more exciting place to help shape the future. I’m looking forward to working closely with @elonmusk, @nikitabier, and the rest of the team. I’m grateful for the opportunity, humbled to be part of it, and can't wait to get started!













Anthropic just told the world that software engineers will be OBSOLETE in 6 months. Then they posted a job listing for a software engineer. With a salary of $570,000. Let that satisfying contradiction sink in for a second. Dario Amodei, the CEO of Anthropic, went to Davos and said AI will handle "most, if not all," coding tasks within 6 to 12 months. He said his own engineers don't even write code anymore. The machines do it, the humans just edit. But here's the part nobody's talking about. Anthropic is still aggressively hiring engineers. Some roles pay up to $759,000. They have 100+ open engineering positions right now. If AI killed the job, why is the salary going UP? Now enter Citadel Securities. They just published a report that blows up the entire AI will destroy all jobs narrative. One of the most powerful firms on Wall Street. Their data shows software engineer job postings are RISING, up 11% year over year. New business formation is exploding, and AI usage at work is unexpectedly stable. No mass displacement, no collapse, or no spiral. But wait, what about that viral doomsday essay from Citrini Research that tanked the S&P 500? The one that predicted a human intelligence displacement spiral, mass layoffs, economic collapse, and white-collar extinction. Citadel called it a scary bedtime story. Here's what's actually happening, it's called Jevons Paradox. When you make something cheaper and more efficient, people don't use less of it. They use MORE. Coal got more efficient in the 1800s, people didn't burn less coal. They burned way more. Software engineering is the same, AI makes every engineer 10x more productive. The demand doesn't shrink, it actually explodes. The job that's thriving is the engineer who designs systems, makes architectural decisions, and knows what breaks at scale. Nobody has automated the person who gets the 2 AM alert when the servers go down. So what does this actually mean? The people screaming AI is replacing everyone are selling fear. The people hiring engineers at $570,000 are buying the future. Watch what they do, not what they say.
