You can learn Claude from zero to seriously useful in about a week of evenings, and you can do it without paying a cent. Anthropic runs its own free training portal, Anthropic Academy, where courses like Claude Code in Action (around 10 hours) and Claude Code 101 come with a free completion certificate you can put straight on LinkedIn. Add freeCodeCamp’s 12-hour video course and Frontend Masters’ free track, and the hard part is no longer access. It is knowing the order to learn things in. This guide gives you that order. It starts with Claude the chat app at claude.ai, because most beginners should talk to Claude before they […]

Le Chaton Fat is a fake AI model, and that is the whole point. For about a week in June 2026, AI Twitter and Reddit were flooded with launch graphics, leaked benchmarks, and breathless threads about a new Mistral frontier model called Le Chaton Fat. The name mashes French and English together for “the fat kitten.” It had 30 trillion parameters, scored higher than every rival on charts that looked just real enough, and ran at a claimed 1,000 meows per second. None of it exists. There are no weights, no API, and no product page. This article explains what Le Chaton Fat actually is, where the joke came from, […]

Andrej Karpathy is one of the most influential figures in modern artificial intelligence, a founding member of OpenAI, the former director of AI and Autopilot Vision at Tesla, and the founder of the AI-education startup Eureka Labs. In May 2026 he made headlines by joining rival lab Anthropic, the maker of Claude, to work on the pre-training team behind its frontier models. Along the way he coined the term “vibe coding,” wrote the widely cited essay “Software 2.0,” and built some of the most-watched AI courses on the internet. This guide covers who Andrej Karpathy is, his full career timeline from OpenAI to Tesla and back, why his move to […]

Claude Mythos is Anthropic’s most powerful AI model ever built. Here’s everything we know about the leaked model, its capabilities, the Capybara codename, and when you can use it.

Anthropic pulled Claude Fable 5 and Mythos 5 worldwide after a US government order on June 12, 2026. Here’s what the error means, who’s affected, and how to switch models.

On June 9, 2026, Anthropic released Claude Fable 5, the first model in a brand new top tier the company calls the Mythos class. This is not another point upgrade in the Opus line. Anthropic describes Fable 5 as a model that sits above Opus in raw capability. It is state of the art on nearly every benchmark it was tested on, and it is the most powerful model the company has ever made available to the general public. It launched alongside a sibling model, Claude Mythos 5. That model is the same underlying system with the safety guardrails lifted, available only to a small set of vetted users. Fable […]

OpenAI’s top customer burns 100 billion tokens a month, and Sam Altman just admitted AI costs became a huge issue in 2026. Here’s what changed and how to cut your own AI bill.

Daniela Amodei is the president and co-founder of Anthropic, the AI safety company behind Claude. Born in San Francisco in 1987, she co-founded Anthropic with her older brother Dario Amodei in 2021 after both left OpenAI, where she served as VP of Safety and Policy. Anthropic reached a $380 billion valuation in February 2026 and is reportedly in talks to raise at a $900 billion pre-money valuation as of May 2026. A note that clears up the most common confusion about her: Daniela and Dario Amodei are siblings, not spouses. Her husband is Holden Karnofsky, the co-founder of Open Philanthropy (now called Coefficient Giving). This article walks through her background, […]
