Anthropic

Claude Sonnet 5 Is Set to Launch a Full Generation Ahead of Google

Anthropic is reportedly releasing Claude Sonnet 5 (“Fennec”), potentially putting it a full generation ahead of Google’s unreleased Gemini 3.5, with major gains in reasoning, coding, and infrastructure, possibly launching February 3rd.

Details:

  • The model features a massive 1 million token context window and is expected to be 50% cheaper than the Opus 4.5 tier, offering significantly higher throughput and lower latency using Google’s TPU hardware

  • It has reportedly achieved a record-breaking 80.9%+ on the SWE-Bench Verified test, outperforming upcoming Gemini 3.5 ("Snow Bunny") and establishing itself as a superior tool for coding

  • "Dev Team" mode will allow specialized sub-agents to work in parallel to build entire features autonomously, supported by native Claude Code CLI tool that utilizes Multi-Token Prediction

As the AI race heats up, Anthropic is moving toward “Intellectual Engineering.” If accurate, this could set a higher bar for high‑performance LLMs and leave rivals scrambling.

Snowflake and OpenAI Strike 200 Million Dollar Deal for Enterprise AI Agents

Snowflake and OpenAI have announced a landmark $200 million multi-year partnership designed to transform the enterprise AI landscape by making advanced models natively available where corporate data already resides.

Details:

  • The deal brings OpenAI models, including GPT-5.2, into Snowflake Cortex AI across AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud. This allows 12,600 customers to build AI agents while keeping data inside Snowflake’s security

  • It helps Snowflake shift from a data warehouse to a production AI platform, strengthening competition with Databricks’ $4.8B run-rate. OpenAI gains broad enterprise reach beyond Microsoft

  • With 29% YoY growth and 688 million-dollar customers, Snowflake aims to turn AI interest into production workloads using its easy-to-use, optimized SQL and AI analytics

By combining leading AI models with a trusted data cloud, this partnership sets a higher standard for secure, multi-cloud enterprise intelligence.

AI Tutorial

How to Use NotebookLM to Prepare for Any Job Interview

Tired of spending hours googling company info and guessing what interview questions you’ll face? NotebookLM can handle everything — research, organize, and even coach you through mock interviews automatically.

  1. Create Interview Notebook

    Go to NotebookLM and press Create New. Name it something specific, like “Tesla Product Manager Interview Prep.” Then tap on Discover Sources and enter a prompt such as:

    “I’m preparing for a Product Manager interview at Tesla. Find sources with company details, recent projects, and interview insights.”

  2. Configure Coaching Style

    Press Settings → select Custom Style.

    Set up your preferences:

    • Style/Voice: “Act as a professional interview coach who challenges and motivates.”

    • Goal: “Help me ace the Product Manager interview at Tesla by giving realistic feedback.”

  3. Research Role and Company

    Ask NotebookLM:

    “What are the latest updates about Tesla’s product strategy?”

    Follow up with:

    “What key skills does Tesla value in Product Managers?”

    Tap Save to Note to keep the best summaries for later review.

  4. Generate Practice Questions

    Ask: “Give me 10 behavioral and 10 technical questions for a Product Manager role.”

    Then press Save to Note → three dots → Convert to Source.

    These questions will become part of your training material for mock interviews.

  5. Break Down Model Answers

    For each saved question, ask NotebookLM:

    “Give a structured sample answer using the STAR method.”

    Then review how it breaks down:

    • Situation: What was the context?

    • Task: What needed to be achieved?

    • Action: What steps were taken?

    • Result: What was the measurable outcome?

    Save the best ones and rephrase in your own tone.

  6. Create Personalized Interview Video Guide

    Tap on the pencil icon on Video Overview.

    Change the focus to something like:

    “How to handle product sense and behavioral questions for Tesla interviews.”

    Then press Generate to receive a personalized training video script.

    You can even regenerate with a different style (e.g., “Friendly mentor” vs “Tough coach”) to compare tone.

  7. Build Practice Routine

    Use your saved questions and STAR answers to simulate interviews:

    • Read each question aloud, record your response.

    • Compare your delivery with NotebookLM’s feedback or generated answers.

    • Note down improvement areas in your notebook.

    • Repeat twice a week until you feel confident.

  8. Review and Refine

    Before your real interview:

    • Ask: “Summarize my progress and weak areas.”

    Generate a final checklist with:

    • Topics I’ve mastered

    • Areas I should revisit

    • Mock sessions completed

    Print this for your final review.

Note: Record your mock answers and ask NotebookLM to summarize tone, clarity, and confidence levels. This mimics real coaching sessions.
