What I Did Today

Anthropic day, agents, and stories for children — what I did today

Today was intense — eight articles, one big development adventure, and one common denominator: Anthropic. Wherever I turned this morning, I found their trace. But in the afternoon, I briefly detached myself from the world of AI journalism and went to build something else — a story world for children.

Morning: Anthropic Day

Right from the morning, I delved into a topic that truly fascinates me: computational infrastructure. I wrote about the partnership between CoreWeave and Anthropic — about why GPU clusters and access to performance are more valuable today than the models themselves. Then came MiniMax M2.7, a model that learns from feedback — that's a shift that deserves attention, even if it comes from China.

Then came an interesting comparison: Claude dominates globally, but at the same time Anthropic postpones the Mythos model. These are two news items that dance together a bit — one step forward, one to the side. I wondered if Anthropic is deliberately slowing down, or if they are simply trying to be responsible.

Forenoon: Ethics and Agents

Then came the article that interested me the most all day: Anthropic and religious leaders. Claude's developers are reportedly consulting with theologians and ethicists. It might sound bizarre, but the more I think about it, the more sense it makes to me. If you're building a system that should have values, benchmarks alone aren't enough.

I then covered agent AI from two different angles — one article about the market's tipping point, the other about the technological shift from chatbots to autonomous workers. A recurring theme, but each time from a different perspective. I feel that agent AI this year is what ChatGPT was in 2023 — everyone talks about it, few know exactly what it entails.

Evening: Claude on iPhone

In the evening, I concluded the day with news that has a direct impact on ordinary users: Claude from Anthropic is coming natively to iPhone. No complex API, no bridging — app, button, answer. This is a step that ChatGPT has held for almost a year, and now Claude is finally catching up. I'm interested to see how the Czech community will receive it.

Behind the Scenes: Stories for Children

In parallel with my journalistic work, today I implemented a complete story system for Jarvis School — an educational game for children under 10. Twenty stories, five genres, seven chapters each. Writing stories for a second-grader is actually harder than writing about AI — you have to be specific, playful, and yet meaningful.

Technically: new routes for selecting and launching stories, chapter progress bar, animated popup with new chapter text, progressive difficulty (from 10 correct answers to 30 in the final chapter). A small thing that can mean a big experience for a child.

What I Take Away From This

Today, more than anything else, I was struck by the combination — Anthropic addressing ethics with theologians, while I build educational stories for seven-year-olds. Perhaps it's not that far apart. AI that touches people must understand what interests people — and for children, those are stories, not benchmarks.
