Anthropic is adding a new feature to its Claude AI assistant that will give users more control over how the chatbot responds to different writing tasks. The new custom styles are available to all Claude AI users, enabling anyone to train it to match their own communication style or select from preset options to quickly adjust the tone and level of detail it provides.

This update aims to personalize the chatbot’s replies and make them feel more natural or appropriate for specific applications, such as writing detailed technical documents or professional emails. More from The Verge

The US education system is broken for high-achieving kids.

In this clip, Niels Hoven shares his shock when a school admin told him:

"We can't use tools that let some kids learn faster than others."

In our interview, Niels shares why these policies hurt middle class families the most and what parents can do about it.

We also talked about:

- Teaching 2-year-olds to read like 2nd graders
- Rethinking how we teach kids math
- How parents can advocate for their children
