According to Andrew Ng on Twitter, DeepLearning.ai has launched a new course titled 'Agent Skills with Anthropic', developed in collaboration with Anthropic and taught by Ed Schoppik. The course introduces an open standard for agent skills, which are structured as folders of instructions allowing AI agents to access on-demand knowledge and execute repeatable workflows. Learners will gain practical experience building custom skills for code generation, data analysis, and research, as well as integrating Anthropic's pre-built skills for platforms like Excel and PowerPoint. The course highlights interoperability, enabling skills to be deployed across Claude.ai, Claude Code, the Claude API, and the Claude Agent SDK. According to DeepLearning.ai, these advancements present significant opportunities for scalable, specialized AI applications and streamlined business processes.

According to DeepLearning.AI on Twitter, a new short course titled 'Agent Skills with Anthropic' is now available, created in collaboration with Anthropic and taught by Elie Schoppik. The course demonstrates how to improve the reliability of AI agents by shifting workflow logic from traditional prompts to reusable skills. These skills are organized into structured folders of instructions, enabling more consistent and scalable agent behaviors. As reported by DeepLearning.AI, this approach offers practical business benefits for organizations seeking to streamline AI development and deployment.

According to DeepSeek (@deepseek_ai), the new DeepSeek-V3.1 AI model introduces a hybrid inference system, allowing both 'Think' and 'Non-Think' modes in a single model. This upgrade enables faster reasoning, as DeepSeek-V3.1-Think significantly outpaces the previous DeepSeek-R1-0528 in delivering answers. Additionally, post-training enhancements empower the model with stronger agent skills, improving its ability to utilize tools and execute complex tasks autonomously. These advancements signal a move toward more capable AI agents, opening up business opportunities in process automation, intelligent workflow management, and advanced digital assistants (Source: DeepSeek on Twitter, August 21, 2025).
