Anthropic takes on OpenAI and Google with new Claude AI features designed for students and developers
Anthropic launches learning modes for Claude AI that guide users through step-by-step reasoning instead of providing direct answers, intensifying competition with OpenAI and Google in the booming AI education market.
“This showcases how we think about building AI—combining our incredible shipping velocity with thoughtful intention that serves different types of users,” the Anthropic spokesperson noted, pointing to the company’s recent product launches including Claude Opus 4.1 and automated security reviews as evidence of its aggressive development pace. Anthropic’s learning modes work by modifying system prompts to exclude efficiency-focused instructions typically built into Claude Code, instead directing the AI to find strategic moments for educational insights and user interaction. The company is also exploring enhanced visualizations for complex concepts, goal setting and progress tracking across conversations, and deeper personalization based on individual skill levels—features that could further differentiate Claude from competitors in the educational AI space.
