    PokeBot Launches RoboAPI Public API, Enabling Robotic Arms to Perform New Tasks Without Specialized Training

    PokeBot has launched the RoboAPI public API, enabling robotic arms to perform new tasks without collecting data or training task-specific models. After users connect a supported robotic arm with a wrist camera and give a task such as "clean the table," RoboAPI returns the next action in near real time. The API is powered by PokeBot's world-action model Poke-Aurora and can issue natural-language instructions to compatible robots through a simple API.

    Don't trust demos. Try it yourself. Introducing RoboAPI, powered by Poke-Aurora, our world-action model. Give compatible robots natural-language instructions through a simple API. No task-specific training. More information: https://t.co/BHzTOo4I8u https://t.co/3AVNh040Vf

    Anthropic renames Claude Max 5x and Max 20x to Max and Ultra…

    Anthropic has renamed the Claude subscription's Max 5x and Max 20x to Max and Ultra respectively, with prices unchanged at $100 and $200 per month. Ultra users who meet verification conditions will have the 5-hour usage limit removed and can use the service continuously within their weekly quota, which remains 10 times that of Pro users. Mike Overell, who is responsible for the Claude subscription product at Anthropic, explained that the "20x" in the former Max 20x referred to the quota for a single 5-hour window, which was inconsistent with the weekly 10x quota and prone to misunderstanding, and he apologized for previous communication issues.

We’re also removing the 5-hour limit for verified Ultra accounts, starting today with most existing subscribers. Newer accounts keep a temporary limit until they’re verified, which helps us prevent fraud and abuse. You'll get an email when it's removed. Weekly limits remain unchanged.
