We launched a Claude Code learning mode! Claude Code not only makes you more productive, but can now also help you get better at coding. Whether you're a CS student or seasoned programmer, it will push you to think deeper about the code you're generating.

Initial impressions of Anthropic after a few months: - Everyone is high agency (feel like I need to 10x my agency) - People's job titles and their work often have little in common - Strongly mission driven, similar to my non-profit experiences - Work can be very reactive;

We just released our @AnthropicAI Education Report analyzing ~1M anonymized student conversations on Claude using our privacy-preserving Clio tool. @kunalhanda_ and I discovered that students use AI ~equally across 4 learning modes, STEM dominates usage (36.8% CS), and students

Feels like Zoox self-driving cars are going to be the next SF thing Just did a test ride (friend works there), incredible experience. No steering wheel, spacious, and the carriage style seating makes for an actual social experience. Waymos are great but these cars are built

How it works: - The lite mode teaches you as you code: explaining best practices, trade-offs, and why certain approaches work - Want more? The learn-by-doing mode pauses at strategic moments and asks YOU to write critical sections. These show up as TODO(human) markers in your

One of the best parts of working at Anthropic is having @mikeyk prioritize learning features. As a former teacher and edtech founder, just so cool to see these come alive!

#4 AI is forcing pedagogical change. Professors are completely redesigning assessments—one shared: "I will never again assign a traditional research paper," instead creating assignments requiring critical thinking even with AI assistance. Research with @kunalhanda_ and team:
