Welcome
Anthropic expanded Claude Startups on October 6, and I would check eligibility before counting any credit in a budget. A headline number tells me little until I know what it covers, when it expires, and who qualifies. The new companion guide covers Google for Startups, Anthropic, AWS, Microsoft, and OpenAI, with the application route and the main restriction for each. A credit can cover eligible usage charges; it does not supply cash for payroll. I would shortlist offers that fit work you already plan to do.
Claude Haiku 5.5, released October 7, gives me a reason to review which model handles each task. The Claude guide explains when to choose Haiku 5.5, Sonnet 5.5, Opus 5.5, and Fable 5.1, then uses Sonnet to plan practical handoffs. ChatGPT's GPT-6 also adds interactive answers, including comparisons you can adjust while keeping the arithmetic visible. The practical tips start with an approved meeting recording and incoming vendor quotes, then turn to movement opportunities between meetings and a pose classifier your child can build.
