Anthropic’s $10B Fundraising at $350B Valuation
Read Full Article: Anthropic’s $10B Fundraising at $350B Valuation
Anthropic is reportedly planning to raise $10 billion at a staggering $350 billion valuation, nearly doubling its value from a recent $183 billion valuation just three months ago. The funding round, led by Coatue Management and Singapore's GIC, follows significant investments from Nvidia and Microsoft, which involve Anthropic purchasing $30 billion in compute capacity from Microsoft Azure. This financial boost comes as Anthropic's coding automation tool, Claude Code, continues to gain traction among developers, and as the company gears up for a potential IPO to compete with its rival OpenAI, which is also seeking substantial funding. This matters because it highlights the intense competition and rapid growth in the AI industry, with major players securing massive investments to fuel innovation and market dominance.

Automating ML Explainer Videos with AI
Read Full Article: Automating ML Explainer Videos with AI
A software engineer successfully automated the creation of machine learning explainer videos, focusing on LLM inference optimizations, using Claude Code and Opus 4.5. Despite having no prior video creation experience, the engineer developed a system that automatically generates video content, including the script, narration, audio effects, and background music, in just three days. The engineer did the voiceover manually due to the text-to-speech output being too robotic, but the rest of the process was automated. This achievement demonstrates the potential of AI to significantly accelerate and simplify complex content creation tasks.

aichat: Efficient Session Management Tool
Read Full Article: aichat: Efficient Session Management Tool
The aichat tool enhances productivity in Claude-Code or Codex-CLI sessions by allowing users to continue their work without the need for compaction, which often results in the loss of important details. By using the >resume trigger, users can seamlessly continue their work through three modes: blind trim, smart-trim, and rollover, each offering different ways to manage session context. The tool also features a super-fast Rust/Tantivy-based full-text search for retrieving context from past sessions, making it easier to find and continue previous work. This functionality is particularly valuable for users who frequently hit context limits in their sessions and need efficient ways to manage and retrieve session data. This matters because it offers a practical solution to maintain workflow continuity and efficiency in environments with limited context capacity.

Run MiniMax-M2.1 Locally with Claude Code & vLLM
Read Full Article: Run MiniMax-M2.1 Locally with Claude Code & vLLM
Running the MiniMax-M2.1 model locally using Claude Code and vLLM involves setting up a robust hardware environment, including dual NVIDIA RTX Pro 6000 GPUs and an AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D processor. The process requires installing vLLM nightly on Ubuntu 24.04 and downloading the AWQ-quantized MiniMax-M2.1 model from Hugging Face. Once the server is set up with Anthropic-compatible endpoints, Claude Code can be configured to interact with the local model using a settings.json file. This setup allows for efficient local execution of AI models, reducing reliance on external cloud services and enhancing data privacy.
