Imagine a fable 5 quality model that’s 3-4x less expensive in less than 6 months. And an Opus 4.8 grade model that can run on a local device in less than 12 months. Greater than 50% chance that these events will happen. Worth keeping in mind when you make predictions about the future.
Let’s establish the premise here.
Most H-1B applicants aren’t random hires showing up with a diploma and a dream. Many are already working for U.S. companies through offshore operations and have years of documented employment history before ever entering the visa process.
Credential fraud should be prosecuted aggressively. But in the real world, degree verification is one of the easiest checks to perform. Universities maintain graduate records, third-party background screening firms verify credentials, and employers routinely validate academic histories during onboarding.
Even if someone managed to slip through those controls, surviving in a highly technical role is an entirely different challenge. Performance reviews, project delivery, client feedback, and technical competency determine whether someone keeps their job, not a piece of paper.
The overwhelming majority of H-1B professionals work demanding schedules, produce measurable results, and compete in some of the most scrutinized hiring pipelines in the world.
What’s especially ironic is that if these individuals were engaged in fraud, they would be risking their careers, visas, and future in the United States every single day. Meanwhile, millions of undocumented immigrants face none of the same employment-based compliance requirements, credential reviews, sponsorship obligations, or status-maintenance rules.
It’s remarkable how often the political attacks are directed at the people following the legal immigration process rather than those operating entirely outside of it.
A sitting U.S. Senator should be capable of distinguishing between criminal fraud and an entire high-skilled workforce. Public officials should be elevating the debate, not reducing it to clickbait.
Congrats India 🇮🇳 - now the world’s second largest solar market.
→ 50 Gigawatt of new solar capacity added in 2025 alone
→ Total installed capacity now at 150 Gigawatt
→ China holds #1. The United States has slipped to #3.
US is still number 2 in total installed solar capacity, but India passed in actual deployment. This will be supercharged by the war in the Strait of Hormuz. The sun is Indian. The wind is Indian. The great rivers of india are Indian. Every drop of oil India replaces with renewables, make India richer and more energy independent.
The first 50 gigawatt took India 11 years. The next 50 gigawatt tok India 3 years. The last 50 gigawatt, the one that pushed India past the US, took 14 months.
Managing API keys is one of the top security concerns we hear from customers.
Today we’re introducing keyless auth for Claude Platform: authenticate via browser with the CLI, or let workloads use their existing cloud identity (AWS, GCP, Azure, or any OIDC token provider).
We need such schools across the nation. 😍

🚨 Michael Vaughan calls South Africa the STUPIDEST team of the tournament
"South Africa has to be the stupidest team of the tournament. If they had allowed WI to win against them, India would have been knocked out. The juggernaut that went on to defeat Zimbabwe, WI, England in semis, and NZ in finals would have been stopped in Super 8 itself."
What do you think about Vaughan's views?
India used to cook in ghee. Clarified butter, rendered slowly, shelf-stable, rich in fat-soluble vitamins and butyrate, with a smoke point suitable for the high-heat cooking that Indian cuisine requires.
Ghee was Ayurvedic medicine. Ghee was considered sacred. Ghee was the cooking fat of a civilisation.
Then, in the latter half of the 20th century, two things happened simultaneously: the global campaign against saturated fat reached India, and the seed oil industry, particularly soybean and sunflower oil, scaled aggressively into the Indian market.
Ghee was repositioned as unhealthy, old-fashioned, and associated with a rural past the modernising middle class was moving away from. Seed oil was modern. Scientific. Heart-healthy. The cardiologists said so.
India is now the world's largest consumer of seed oils. Ghee consumption has fallen dramatically across large portions of the population, particularly in urban and middle-class households.
The cardiovascular disease rates have risen in lockstep with the oil transition.
The ghee is still being blamed.
The sunflower oil is still being recommended.
In India.
In 2026.
So England got knocked out on Thurs get a charter home today .. West Indies go out last Sunday and are still in Kolkata .. SA in the same position .. That’s where the power is all wrong .. All teams in this situation should be treated the same .. just because you are more powerful at the ICC table shouldn’t count .. #JustSaying
This is a ballsy power play by Trump.
Lloyd's of London was the gold standard for maritime insurance policies until just a day or two ago when they started cancelling policies or jacking them up 3-5X. Others insurers followed. That collapsed commercial shipping traffic through Hormuz, which choked oil shipments out of the Middle East.
Trump doing this means the DFC has the chance to displace Lloyd's as the big dog in this game, when they have been the lock-in player for many years.
It also frees up all the oil that was getting trapped there, heading off shortages and keeping the energy market alive.
And why not? It's the American navy that sunk the Iranian ships that were harassing tankers. And the American Navy -- at least for now -- will keep those tankers safe.
It's a huge reassurance to allies -- both oil producers and oil consumers -- that our campaign in Iran isn't going to sink their economies. And it allows America to be choosy about traffic in the Strait.
It also potentially means billions of dollars in insurance premiums at wartime rates going to America instead of the UK. And those rates are STILL going to be cheaper than what shippers were getting.

We’ve identified industrial-scale distillation attacks on our models by DeepSeek, Moonshot AI, and MiniMax.
These labs created over 24,000 fraudulent accounts and generated over 16 million exchanges with Claude, extracting its capabilities to train and improve their own models.
