🇹🇿 Tanzania is projected to become the world's 15th most populous country by 2050. Boon or bane? To harness this demographic dividend, we must prioritize human capital, econ. diversification, infrastructure, and good governance. #Tanzania #populationgrowth 💡📈

We’ve received notice that the Department of Commerce has lifted export controls on Claude Fable 5 and Mythos 5.

We'll begin restoring access tomorrow, and will share an update soon.

We’re grateful to our users for their patience, and to everyone who worked with us on redeploying the models.
