🤖 Anthropic Puts Claude Code in Your Browser

Today, we’re looking at KPMG’s quiet but ambitious push into AI, launching a platform that automates entire corporate functions from HR to finance. We’re looking at DeepSeek’s latest move to cut AI costs at the root, compressing huge chunks of text using visual perception.

In today’s post:

• This Chinese AI startup is using vision to compress language

• Claude Code is now on the web

• Who pays the price for AI?

RESEARCH

DeepSeek’s new AI shrinks text with vision

DeepSeek just released a new multimodal AI model that treats vision as a compression tool allowing large language models to process huge text inputs with fewer tokens and less compute. It’s not just clever. It’s efficient.

Here’s everything you need to know:

• The model is called DeepSeek-OCR and it’s open-source, available on Hugging Face and GitHub.

• It uses a visual encoder to transform long text into compressed formats, like scanning a document.

• This approach cuts token use by 7–20x depending on the input, a breakthrough for long-context reasoning.

• Fewer tokens means lower compute cost, a major win for scaling LLMs affordably.

• The system combines DeepEncoder (vision module) with DeepSeek3B-MoE-A570M (language model decoder).

• DeepSeek has been steadily open-sourcing models since 2023, positioning itself as China’s most efficient AI lab.

• This move is as much about infrastructure as innovation, it’s a bet on cheaper, smarter LLM architecture.

Compression is the overlooked frontier in AI. Everyone’s racing to build smarter models, but scaling those models means solving cost. DeepSeek’s vision-as-compression idea is both elegant and practical and a reminder that real progress often comes from looking sideways..

INNOVATION

Anthropic’s AI coding tool just went browser-based and it’s changing how developers work

Claude Code started as a command-line tool. Now it’s on the web and it’s aiming to turn every developer into a manager of AI agents.

Here’s everything you need to know:

• Anthropic launched Claude Code for web, available to Pro and Max subscribers.

• The update lets devs spin up and manage AI coding agents directly from their browser.

• It’s part of a broader push to bring Claude Code “everywhere,” including mobile.

• The product now drives $500M in annualized revenue and has 10x’d its user base since May.

• Anthropic claims 90% of Claude Code is built by its own AI including feature development.

• The shift reflects a deeper trend: developers are increasingly supervising AI, not writing raw code.

• Still, not all feedback is glowing. Studies show some devs become slower with AI tools due to friction and debugging.

Claude Code’s web launch is smart, accessibility beats abstraction. But the real shift is cultural. When coding becomes prompting, what happens to the craft? The tools are evolving fast. Our expectations for what good software work looks like might need to evolve too.

BREAKTHROUGH

The AI boom is straining real communities

Microsoft’s data center in central Mexico promised innovation. Instead, it’s become a symbol of something else: school closures, hepatitis outbreaks, and blackouts. And it’s not just Mexico.

Here’s everything you need to know:

• In Las Cenizas, power cuts began after Microsoft moved in. Water outages now last weeks.

• A local doctor stitched up kids by flashlight and lost a patient when the power failed.

• Across 12+ countries, data centers are linked to energy drains and water shortages.

• In Ireland, a third of the nation’s electricity may soon go to data centers.

• Communities from Chile to Spain are protesting. Many say tech firms hide behind shell companies and NDAs.

• Mexico’s own officials admit “our capacity has been overdrawn” yet more centers are coming.

• Meanwhile, families buy water by the jug, lose food in blackouts, and bury the cost in silence.

AI isn’t abstract, it’s built on concrete and cables, powered by water and watts. It’s easy to be dazzled by its promise. Harder to admit who’s footing the bill. Progress should lift everyone. If it doesn’t, maybe it’s not progress.
