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.

Usage limits are up, effective today we're: 1) Doubling Claude Code's 5-hour limits for Pro, Max, Team and seat-based Enterprise plans 2) Removing peak hours limit reduction on Claude Code for Pro and Max plans 3) Substantially raising our API rate limits for Opus models
We’ve agreed to a partnership with @SpaceX that will substantially increase our compute capacity. This, along with our other recent compute deals, means that we’ve been able to increase our usage limits for Claude Code and the Claude API.
