Following the amazing reaction to the Marble Curriculum yesterday, we've decided to make it open source 🛰️👇
Everything a child learns in primary school. 1,590 concepts. 3,221 connections across 8 subjects, from Math and Science to Computing and Life Skills. Anchored in the US and UK curriculums, standard by standard (NGSS, Common Core, DfE).
What you will find in the repo: every concept as structured JSON with its age band and the evidence a child must show to master it. Every prerequisite link marked hard or soft, with a written rationale. It's a true DAG you can compute learning paths on. Open license, you can build whatever you want with it.
Now is a unique time in history to be building in education. Getting AI and kids education right is likely one of the hardest and most important problems to crack over the next decade and we need as many smart and creative minds behind it.
We think a common solid basis, accessible to all and that can be built upon, is critical to move fast. That's why we're making this curriculum open source.
It's not perfect but we know it's a robust basis, and we believe that sharing it openly is the fastest way to progress in this field. If you're building in education, share this around you and tell us in comments if you find this useful and if you want to contribute.
We'll keep working and investing on it @withmarbleapp. Credit goes to @guillaume_boni for building this. I just made it look pretty.

nothing will hold back ambitious teens more than thinking there is some hidden knowledge in books or other peoples thoughts
NEVER get stuck thinking your success depends on anything but your actions. fuck books fuck podcasts, just do things and think hard about it
Introducing autoresearch for arXiv papers
Change 'arxiv' to 'autoarxiv' in any paper URL
An agent deploys to resolve setup issues on the codebase, run a minimal reproduction, and estimate full replication cost. Read more below
We’re launching Claude Corps, a national fellowship program matching people early in their careers with US nonprofits.
We'll teach 1,000 people to use Claude, and pay them to use AI to advance their hosts’ missions.

Did you know that the .png format was created out of spite? Or that .jpeg just discards like half of the colours in your image because you won't notice?
To celebrate last week's launch, I published a chapter on image compression.

Design is full of codewords. Knowing them changes what you can ask for, and what you can get back, whether you're working with devs, or an AI.
“tint this neutral color”, “fix this widow”, “nudge it to the optical center”

Nigerian history deserves more than scattered Wikipedia pages. For @1000reasons9ja, I created 1800+ dated moments of Nigerian history. You can now trace Nigeria from the 1300s to 2026.
I also added 200 more reasons against T-Pain’s administration.

Our internal data shows Claude is accelerating AI development—a possible path to recursive self-improvement, or AI autonomously building a more capable successor.
It’s happening faster than we thought, and the implications deserve greater attention. https://t.co/OVVPJO7VQx
I just spent months handwriting a 200 page guide on the entirety of ML foundations and math from scratch.
The guide features:
- Neural Nets (Backprop, Adam, SGD, Batch Norm)
- ML Algorithms (SVM, Grad Boosting, K-means, PCA)
- Hardware (Tensor Cores, Systolic Arrays, CUDA)
- Transformers (Multi-Head Attn, KV Cache, LoRA)
- Vision (ViT, Convolutions, MAE, IoU, NMS, VLM)
- Agents (OpenClaw, ReAct, Memory, Orchestration)
Everything I wish I had years ago, for free.
one of the quotes i find most inspiring on a hard day:
"Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with all your might, for in the realm of the dead, where you are going, there is neither working nor planning nor knowledge nor wisdom"
Ecclesiastes 9:10
The bitter lesson in 26 words:
Don’t be distracted by human knowledge, as AI has been historically.
Instead focus on methods for creating knowledge that scale with computation, like search and learning.
Personal update: I've joined Anthropic. I think the next few years at the frontier of LLMs will be especially formative. I am very excited to join the team here and get back to R&D. I remain deeply passionate about education and plan to resume my work on it in time.
