Anthropic says its new top Claude model costs a quarter less
Anthropic released a new top Claude model. It says the model costs an estimated 25% less than the last one for typical work that is billed by use, and up to about 45% less for long, multistep jobs.
Why it matters: If you or the person who builds your tools pays for Claude by use, the same work now costs less.

Instagram cuts the reach of unlabeled AI-made profiles
Instagram renamed its label to "AI-generated profile" and will limit the reach of accounts that feature an AI-made person without it. Using AI to edit photos, polish captions or make graphics doesn't need the label.
Why it matters: Using AI on your photos and captions is fine, and only a made-up AI person as the face of your account needs the label.
