How to Use Claude Dashboards and Motion

Anthropic's launch video for Claude Dashboards and Claude Motion. Source: Claude (YouTube) Claude Dashboards and Motion in 30 Seconds Dashboards (beta, Pro and up): connect BigQuery, Snowflake, Databricks, Redshift, ClickHouse or Salesforce, ask a question in plain English, get a dashboard that stays current. Every chart shows its SQL. Motion (beta, Team and Enterprise only): type /motion, describe the explainer, edit it, export an MP4. It animates your own text and charts with code; no video model, no AI people. Docs, Slides and Design left beta the same day and are now on every plan, including Free. Launched October 8, 2026. The standalone claude.ai/design site closes December 14. Anthropic shipped two new artifact types on October 8, 2026. Claude Dashboards answers questions about your company’s data with a live dashboard, and Claude Motion turns a report or a chart into a short animated explainer you can download as MP4. Both are in beta, and both are built so you can check the work: every chart exposes its query, every animation is editable code. ...

Claude Haiku 5.5 Price and When to Use It

Your browser does not support the video tag. 0:00 Claude Haiku 5.5: price, GPT-6 Luna comparison and where to use it Claude Haiku 5.5 in 30 Seconds Price: $0.10 per million input tokens and $0.50 per million output tokens for prompts up to 100K tokens; $0.50 / $2.50 above that. That is 90% below Haiku 4.5 and exactly GPT-6 Luna’s rate. Real saving: about 75% on an average workload, once the new tokenizer and the long-prompt tier are counted. Use it for summaries, classification, compaction, browser and computer use, and as a subagent under Sonnet 5.5 or Opus 5.5. Do not use it as the lead model on complex agentic coding. Released October 7, 2026, on the Claude Platform, AWS, Google Cloud and Azure. Model ID: claude-haiku-5-5. Anthropic released Claude Haiku 5.5 on October 7, 2026, closing out the 5.5 family that started with Opus 5.5 on September 22 and Sonnet 5.5 on September 28.

Gemini 4 Argon vs Opus 5.5: Which Is Better?

Gemini 4 Argon vs Opus 5.5: Which Is Better?

Your browser does not support the video tag. 0:00 Gemini 4 Argon vs Claude Opus 5.5: price and independent test results Argon vs Opus 5.5 in 30 Seconds Price: Argon’s $2 / $10 is a launch promotion. Google’s own footnote says the price moves to $4 / $20 once it ends, exactly what Opus 5.5 costs. No end date yet. Independent benchmarks: On the Artificial Analysis Intelligence Index, Opus 5.5 scores 58 and Argon 53. Cost per task is $1.99 for Argon at promo pricing versus $5.98 for Opus. Hallucinations: Argon’s hallucination rate is 15%, Opus 5.5’s is 59%. Argon says “I don’t know” far more often, while Opus knows more but also guesses when it shouldn’t. Coding: Opus leads Terminal-Bench 4.0 in both Google’s table and the independent run. Argon leads on workflow automation. Access: Opus 5.5 is available today. Argon is limited to selected cyber defense teams. When Google announced Gemini 4 Argon on September 30, the headline number was simple: a frontier model at half the price of Claude Opus 5.5. A day later, two things are clearer. That price has an expiry date, and the first independent benchmark run puts the two models in a different order than Google’s own chart. ...
