🚀 New + actionable

Anthropic dropped a free 24-minute Claude prompting workshop. Their applied-AI team — the people who literally wrote the weights — published the 6 elements of a properly structured Claude prompt. Most users are hitting 1 or 2 of them. If your Claude outputs have felt slightly-off lately, this is why. Worth 24 minutes. source →

NVIDIA is quietly giving developers free API access to ~80 hosted AI models — MiniMax M2.7, GLM 5.1, Kimi 2.5, DeepSeek 3.2, GPT-OSS-120B, more. Works with Cursor, Zed, Claude Code via OpenAI-compatible base URL. Free inference for any AI app you're prototyping. Most builders don't know this exists yet. source →

⚡ What to try today

Watch the Anthropic workshop. Take 24 min. Note the 6 elements. Apply them to your worst-performing prompt and re-run it. You'll feel the difference on the first try.
Plug an NVIDIA-hosted free model into your IDE. Get the API key, paste the base URL, set a model ID like minimaxai/minimax-m2.7 or deepseek/deepseek-3.2. Run side-by-side vs your usual model. If quality is comparable, you've cut your inference bill to zero on that workflow.
