😢 Claude, Beloved Albino Alligator at SF’s Cal Academy, Dead at 30 | KQED https://www.kqed.org/news/12065763/claude-beloved-albino-alligator-at-sfs-cal-academy-dead-at-30

Claude, Beloved Albino Alligator at SF’s Cal Academy, Dead at 30
The iconic California Academy of Sciences resident brought joy to visitors of the San Francisco museum for nearly two decades.

Some positive signs for AI coding tools. Claude-code is a $1B run rate product six month after launch. The latest Claude Opus 4.5 model is several times cheaper and faster than last month’s version and uses about a quarter of the number of tokens to get work done. My own benchmark saw over an hour of coding reduced to 17 minutes. The high rate of change continues. The boundary of what does/doesn’t work is pushing back fast.
