What's clear is that Africa is not only wrestling with many of the same AI + education questions we see in the US, but in many cases pioneering the path forward. The innovation and scale of deployments, often at the country or even continental level, is something we can all learn

I've long admired @FredSwaniker and @alx_africa's work. Working with Rwanda's ICT Minister Paula Ingabire and Education Minister Joseph Nsengimana showed me just how quickly they're innovating in Rwanda.

Introducing Claude Haiku 4.5: our latest small model. Five months ago, Claude Sonnet 4 was state-of-the-art. Today, Haiku 4.5 matches its coding performance at one-third the cost and more than twice the speed.

Fascinating deep dive from Mashable into Anthropic, Google, and OpenAI's chatbot learning modes. What's interesting is the various tradeoffs between the learning modes. For instance, @claudeai was unlikely to ever give away an answer — but also became very chatty and at times

Excited to see CZI's Knowledge Graph education launch! We worked with their team to integrate Claude via MCP. This open-source tool gives educators access to research-backed content for lesson planning. Everything from standards alignment across all 50 states to building

I generally think we should have 10x more tech nonprofits Especially with AI, the leverage is so high. There are a bunch of social issues where AI can do real good. Bottleneck seems to be not enough founders choosing to start nonprofits

#4 AI is forcing pedagogical change. Professors are completely redesigning assessments—one shared: "I will never again assign a traditional research paper," instead creating assignments requiring critical thinking even with AI assistance. Research with @kunalhanda_ and team:
