AI companies are chasing government users with steep discounts

theverge.com Lauren Feiner 2025-12-08 15:31:51

Ever since the launch of ChatGPT, AI companies have been racing to gain a foothold in government in more ways than one. Most recently, that’s meant luring government users with attractive low prices for their products. Within the last week, both OpenAI and Anthropic have introduced special prices for government versions of their generative AI chatbots, ChatGPT and Claude, and xAI announced its Grok for Government in mid-July.

In 2025, the average urban Indian no longer needs to wait very long for much (except at government offices and in traffic): They simply have to order what they need from an app, and it’ll be delivered within minutes. The explosion of quick-commerce in the country has meant that millions of Indians are getting increasingly used to not having to wait for deliveries, or step out of their homes, as startups vie to make almost everything, from food and groceries to smartphones and gaming consoles, av

Anthropic’s Claude AI model can now handle longer prompts

techcrunch.com Maxwell Zeff 2025-12-08 15:15:46

Anthropic is increasing the amount of information that enterprise customers can send to Claude in a single prompt, part of an effort to attract more developers to the company’s popular AI coding models. For Anthropic’s API customers, the company’s Claude Sonnet 4 AI model now has a one million token context window — meaning the AI can handle requests as long as 750,000 words, more than the entire Lord of the Rings trilogy, or 75,000 lines of code.

In this official Facebook video, Aaron identifies himself as the manager of “the team that writes the rules for Facebook”, determining “what is acceptable and what is not.” Thus, he and his team effectively decide what content the platform’s 2.9 billion active users see and what they don’t see.

Why AI Shouldn’t Replace Historians Anytime Soon

Microsoft recently released a study about the types of jobs most likely to be augmented by AI in the future.

We Keep Reinventing CSS, but Styling Was Never the Problem We’ve been building for the web for decades. CSS has had time to grow up, and in many ways, it has. We’ve got scoped styles, design tokens, cascade layers, even utility-first frameworks that promise to eliminate bikeshedding entirely.
