Hello there,
This week in AI was genuinely CRAZY.
Claude dropped a new tool and ended up losing billions of dollars because of it!
But before that, I tried everything that dropped this week and I’ll tell you what’s actually worth trying

Claude Design: BUILT DIFFERENT
Anthropic dropped a design tool on Friday and Figma's stock fell 7% within hours.
This is what people lost billions over.
7% of Figma is around a billion dollars… whipped in a few hours because of Claude.
And it’s not even better than Figma! Well… not yet.
I’ll explain why it’s so good in a minute, but let me ask you a very important question:
What if 5 minutes of work a week could pay for half of your rent?
There’s this new platform going around that people are using to make more than $1000 every time some clicks on their email.
It’s called beehiiv and it’s genuinely one of the best side hustles I’ve ever discovered.
All I do is write a short email every week (takes about 5 min) and every time people click on my emails, I get paid!
I know, shocked me too.
But big business are willing to pay a bunch for this stuff because they’re getting leads.
It’s completely free and super fast to start up.
Don’t believe me?
Why not believe Arnold then? Click below and see for yourself!
Nobody's asking why Arnold Schwarzenegger has a newsletter.
They're too busy reading it.
Arnold Schwarzenegger. Codie Sanchez. Scott Galloway. Colin & Samir. Shaan Puri. Jay Shetty. They all figured out the same thing: owned audiences compound, rented ones disappear. beehiiv is where they built theirs.

Ok back to the email!
Claude design lets anyone describe a prototype, a pitch deck, a one-pager in plain English and get something actually good back in minutes.
It’s like a slightly downgraded version of Figma at no extra cost (assuming you’re already paying for Claude)
There’s tons of people who are saying they went from needing 20+ prompts with Claude…
To around 3!!
That’s 17x drop in effort.
It's a research preview right now, Pro subscribers only, and it eats your usage credits fast. But the fact that a single product announcement moved a publicly traded company's stock that hard tells you everything about where this is going.
Available now inside Claude.ai. Look for the palette icon.
Claude Opus 4.7: MID
I’ll be honest, i was expecting more for this one.
Don’t get me wrong, it’s not bad… but a lot of people are saying it feels like opus 4.6 (Claude’s last model)
Me personally?
I don’t see much of a difference, but it’s definitely worth a test if you haven’t tried it.
Qwen 3.6: BUILT DIFFERENT (and people are sleeping on this)
Alibaba's latest model is free on OpenRouter right now and it's scoring 78.8% on SWE-bench Verified. That beats GPT-5 on coding benchmarks.
The open-weight version can literally run on your laptop.
It’s very scary but also very impressive what these free models from China can do.
Some of them are even better than Claude at certain tasks!
Canva's new AI suite: MID (for now)
Canva became one of the most used consumer AI apps in the world this week… and almost no one is talking about it
why?
Canva can now crawl the web overnight, figure out what's trending, create AND schedule your social posts on its own.
I get it, that’s sounds impressive on paper.
In practice it's still Canva, which means it's great for people who were already using Canva and less useful if you want something that feels like the top of what’s possible.

P.S. If you forward this to one person who needs it, I'll sleep better tonight. That's not a joke that's just true.
