Anthropic is giving away free Claude certifications - and... I don't know why more people aren't taking advantage. If I knew nothing about AI and wanted to become AI-native in 30 days, this is what I'd do: < sign up for free Anthropic courses < use Claude to study pre-exam < once certified, extract the course content to a Claude project < prompt Claude: "Based on this course, build me a 201 version and some real hands-on exams to test my knowledge." < Complete 201 < Rinse and repeat There isn't a faster way to learn AI right now (+ this is 100% free).show more

Startups achieve success slowly, building their company brick by... brick. Founders can develop marketing leverage by building a viral or network effects strategy or… by partnering with larger companies who have great distribution themselves and trying to reach through to the end customer with premium offerings. Companies that build their distribution by coming in at a lower than market price should follow up with higher margin products or they will find themselves in a competition that we call “a race to the bottom.” It is mission critical for startups to work to build distribution and market share, but they need to then provide something that their customers can’t live without, and charge enough for it to support the continued distribution strategy. Startup founders: Look at every customer as a long-term partner, because you want your business to be a long-term survivor. Look at every supplier as a long-term partner and make sure they are healthy. Look at every employee as a long-term partner. You want them to grow with you and with the business.show more

The companies racing Elon Musk to build AI are... paying him more than 2 billion dollars a month to do it. Anthropic pays SpaceX 1.25 billion dollars a month. Google pays 920 million. They are not buying rockets. They are renting compute, the scarce Nvidia chips that train frontier models, from a data center in Memphis called Colossus that Musk's rocket company now owns. SpaceX folded xAI into itself in February, and with it the 220,000 chips built to train Grok. Then it rented them to Grok's rivals. Anthropic took the entire first building. Google leased 110,000 more. The contracts signed so far run past 80 billion dollars. SpaceX is no longer a rocket company that dabbles in AI. It is one of the largest AI compute landlords on Earth, and its biggest tenants are the rivals it is trying to beat. Musk is not choosing between building AI on the ground and building it in space. He is using one to fund the other. The 80 billion in ground contracts is the cash engine. Starmind, the million-satellite constellation built to leave the ground behind, is what the cash builds. So the rivals are financing his exit from the planet. Every dollar Anthropic and Google pay for compute in Memphis helps fund the orbital network designed to strand them on the surface. They are paying the toll on the road they are trying to win, and the toll is building Musk a road no one else can reach. The piece works out who is really renting from whom.show more

I’m incredibly proud to share that OpenAI chose Brex... to power their global spend and financial operations. When you're building at the frontier of AI and scaling global teams and infrastructure at an unprecedented pace like OpenAI is, Finance can't be the thing that slows you down. You need spend visibility the moment it happens, controls that enforce themselves, and agentic workflows that eliminate the manual work so your team stays focused on driving the business forward. We were so impressed by OpenAI’s rigor in evaluating every solution in the market, and whether they align to the agentic future OpenAI is building. Their decision to run on Brex is a huge testament to our AI roadmap and vision for the future of Finance. We started Brex around a simple idea: companies shouldn't have to choose between speed and control. There's no company in the world where that tradeoff matters more than OpenAI. We are honored to support them as they build the future. The best AI companies in the world, including OpenAI, Anthropic, Cursor, Vercel, Granola, Sierra, and Mercor choose Brex over every alternative for that exact reason. If you want to understand who’s truly building the future of AI in Finance, follow the customers you admire the most – not the hype.show more
