Anthropic will pay you $85,000 to learn AI, and this is the kind of opportunity you don't let pass
It's called Claude Corps. Anthropic just launched it, and it's a 12-month paid fellowship for people at the very start of their careers.
They train you to use Claude from scratch, then place you inside a nonprofit to do real work with it for a year. You get paid $85,000 plus benefits the whole time.
They're basically paying you to master the most in-demand skill on the planet right now, then handing you real-world experience using it.
The barrier to entry is almost nothing. Over 18, less than two years of full-time work experience. No degree, no AI background needed.
If that's you, don't sit on this one.

Hello folks,
The Africa Deep Tech Challenge 2026 is here. This year’s theme is The Laptop LLM Challenge: local, on-device AI for the hardware people already have.
We are organizing this competition to surface the best talent and ideas tackling frontier problems in local inference.
The challenge asks builders to create useful language-model applications that run fully offline on standard laptops: 8GB RAM, integrated graphics, no cloud dependency, and no API fees.
Participants submit a working prototype through an open-source GitHub repo.
Submissions are scored on accuracy, speed, and efficiency, with strict resource limits.
The total prize pool is $20,000.
If you are working on local inference, quantization, edge computing, model optimization, or practical deep tech infrastructure, this is worth your attention.
Deadline for submission: August 25, 2026.

Ugo is building a $15 million dedicated telecoms hardware manufacturing facility in Enugu called Quantum Forge Labs starting this January.
Nathan co-own Terra Industries which is Africa’s largest defense manufacturer.
Chris is running Mamae which is Nigeria’s first organic spice hoping to hit $2 million in revenue by next year.
These are wise men from the East and we spent the whole day discussing intersection between education and industries in Nigeria with focus on the South East.
Enugu will be the Africa’s destination for hardware manufacturing in 3 years.
Pushing education in the region is strategic and we encourage a lot more useful innovations to push the region forward.
All the great breakthroughs in science are, at their core, compression. They take a complex mess of observations and say, "it's all just this simple rule".
Symbolic compression, specifically. Because the rule is always symbolic -- usually expressed as mathematical equations. If it isn't symbolic, you haven't really explained the thing. You can observe it but you can't understand it.
We know 😌✋🏽, we know you’ve seen the news and you don’t need to hear from us - but here’s a look at what this moment means for us and everyone on our team.
This milestone validates the work we’ve put in for almost a decade, and with this raise, we’ll be making financial happiness a reality for every African, every where. This is just Day One, and we’re excited for where this takes us 🚀

@AskMichaelTaiwo Due to financial constraints, however, I am unable to afford the GRE fee. Getting this voucher would increase my applicable programs and (likely) funding options. Curiosity and hard work helped bring me this far, and I hope, with help, they can take me as far as I wish to go.

@AskMichaelTaiwo Now, I hope to further my education by exploring the overlap between Data Analytics/ML and Telecommunications. My curiosity points to the potential that lies in using ML to preempt network security holes, boost communication protocols, and improve overall RAN performance.
4/5
@AskMichaelTaiwo As my curiosity was not limited to my academic field of study, neither were my skills. Over the past 2 years, I have picked up and honed skills in data analytics, working on several personal and group projects in the process; even contributing ideas to grad school projects.

@AskMichaelTaiwo As an undergrad, I majored in Telecoms Engineering, the branch of my field that piqued my curiosity. During my NYSC year, my work experience touched 3 major parts of this field: IP Engineering, Microwave Transmission, and performance analytics in Radio Access Networks.

I am Chidiuto Okorie, a graduate of Electrical & Electronics Engineering, FUTO. It is my understanding that writing and passing the GRE examination will greatly boost my chances at getting graduate school education at a world-class level.

How I would apply for this job:
1. Spend 1 hour watching the recent public board meetings on YouTube
2. Spend 3 hours designing something relevant to the company roadmap in Figma
3. An email or DM with the image embedded inline and some explanations to the design decisions I made
Would put you in the top ≈1% of applicants thus far!
This is the sort of thinking and effort that’s needed if you’re applying for an in-demand remote job available to everyone. There are only 1 or 2 spots, and there have been over 1,000 applicants thus far (including some very strong people, thank you for applying!)
TLDR: Show (don’t tell) that you can do the job to most likely get the job
