Hey everyone!! Jake and I are rebuilding Clief Notes around Edubaware, Eduba's own platform. We're aiming to launch it between 10 December and 1 January, and if that date moves, you'll hear it here first. Clief Notes stays free to join, and always will. Here's everything else that changes, starting with the part that has a deadline. ⏰ Lock in today's prices by Sunday 15 November ⏰ Right now Premium is $11 a month and VIP is $97. Join by 11:59 pm EST on Sunday 15 November and you keep that rate for as long as you stay subscribed. After that, new members pay $14.95 for Premium and $499 for VIP . If you already pay $11 or $97, your rate doesn't change. 💰 $1,000 of Edubaware credit 💰 Every Premium member on Clief Notes through 9 December gets $1,000 of Edubaware credit at launch. Every VIP gets $5,000. It's paid in full on day one, and members on the $11 rate and lifetime VIPs get it too. Join Premium by Sunday and that's $1,000 of credit for an $11 month. Anyone who joins after 9 December doesn't get it. Premium and VIP also get founders pricing on Edubaware: 50% off your first year and 25% off your second, for as long as you stay subscribed. VIPs get 50% off for both years. 🚀 Early access, over the next few weeks 🚀 Premium and VIP members get into Edubaware before launch. We'll be onboarding people over the next few weeks, not all at once, so David and Kay can set each of you up and check in once you're in. If your invite arrives later than a friend's, that's why. Every Premium and VIP member gets one. Every Tuesday, David or Kay posts an Edubaware update here. ⭐ What Premium gets ⭐ Everything new lands in Premium first: - A build tutorial from Jake every month, one full build from start to finish - Ask Jake: post your question in the monthly thread and Jake answers the most-liked ones on video. The first thread opens Monday 16 November. - Master sessions, run live here by the Masters of ICM - The Masters' drop: a new template, workflow or walkthrough from every Master, every

Hi All, new here and looking for a little help with VS Code setup. I use both Claude Code and Codex and so far have been working mainly in Claude Code and Codex desktop environments. But to follow along with the training here I wanted to setup a new folder system that uses the ICM structure and use VS code as I find Codex and Claude aren't great when it comes to opening and editing the markdown files. But I'm also new to VS Code and wanted to double check how people connect Claude and Codex. Is it just a case of using the terminal or is it better to go down the plugins route?

We saw this coming for months.. I thought something felt off the last couple of days... Anthropic has officially renamed its $200/month Claude Max 20x plan to Claude Ultra. When Anthropic launched Max in April 2025, it advertised the $200 tier as offering up to 20x more usage than Pro. The new Ultra plan is now officially listed as providing 10x Pro’s weekly usage. Anthropic’s email says your “weekly usage limit stays the same.” That may mean the reduction had already been rolling out—or that the practical weekly cap was changed before the new name became official. Either way, the customer-facing offer has moved from **20x to 10x**. And we’ve had signs this was coming: - Anthropic introduced weekly limits in August 2025 - Users have increasingly reported hitting the Max 20x weekly cap much sooner than expected - Recent independent testing indicated Anthropic was A/B testing different Max 20x limits across accounts - Some users reported their weekly capacity already felt much closer to 10x than 20x Now the new plan documentation makes it explicit. What changed - Max 20x is now called Ultra - The price remains $200 per month - Ultra officially includes 10x Pro’s weekly usage - The rolling 5-hour limit is being removed for verified accounts - Usage can be spread across the week instead of being constrained by 5-hour windows - Max 5x is now simply called **Max** and remains $100 per month Removing the 5-hour limit is genuinely useful. Long Claude Code, Cowork, and background tasks should be less likely to stop halfway through a session. But we shouldn’t confuse greater flexibility with greater capacity. Anthropic is removing one restriction while formalizing a substantially lower usage multiplier than the one attached to the original $200 plan. The company can call it Ultra, but the underlying offer is now 10x usage for the same price previously associated with 20x. My read: the name change lets Anthropic retire the “20x” promise while presenting the transition primarily as an upgrade and silently lowering usage limits.

Hi all 👋 This is my first post and video. I have been a VIP member since March. I continue to learn and get value from all aspects of this community on a regular basis. I also joined the Lyceum recently to better understand how to translate everything that I have been learning and processing for the last ~6 months into a tangible skill, product, business and more. The progress that I have made so far has been well worth it. Given that its structured like a class, there are assignments, deadlines, group work, etc. That means more opportunity to procrastinate! In my most recent bender of procrastinating, I decided to be productive and try new things. I made a video in attempt to summarize many recent updates to how I work with Claude on a day to day basis. So here's my version... and it was supposed to be 30 seconds. It's version five and a bit over five minutes. I got way off track, lost the plot and burned way too many tokens - but I learned a lot and fun along the way! Hope there is something in there for at least 1 person 🙌 My Human Harness - First video I've ever made - Posting my imperfections

Hi everyone! I had to share my latest project. I am so proud of it and hope you enjoy it! Thanks to @Jake Van Clief and his crew for creating the community. I feel like nothing is impossible to create. I had Claude code write the next part: I gave Claude one sentence. Two days later it was a 9.5 minute animated film. My idea was one line: "a child's room where different art styles are used." What came out is "The paper plane": a 9 minute 31 second animated film with 25 art styles, 8 narrator voices and an original soundtrack. Not one image or video generator was used. Every frame is drawn in code. Here is how it came together, and why ICM is the reason it worked. THE IDEA I had a folder of 84 reference art styles (sumi-e ink, claymation, film noir, Win95, synthwave and so on) and one picture in my head: a child's room where every object is a door into another style. The camera dives into the TV and you are inside a video game. The poster on the wall turns out to be a whole world. One style draws an arcade machine, and inside it the next style is already playing. THE BRAINSTORM Claude ran a structured brainstorm with me (the superpowers brainstorming skill): one question at a time, and a quick mockup of the room so I could see the camera route. Out of that came four "hand-off moves" that join one style to the next: - Dive in: through a screen into its world. - Drawn doorway: my arcade idea. - Pull back out: the world was the poster on the wall all along. - Carried thread: something crosses the seam from one style to the next. Then Claude pitched me three stories: 1. The paper plane: a plane that flies from style to style. 2. The bedtime question: a child asks something, and the room answers. 3. How pictures learned to move: from shadow puppets to 3D games. I loved all three and could not pick one. So I asked Claude to weave them into one story, and to drop the 2 to 3 minute limit we had planned, because a great story needs time to play out.
