A Python framework called claude-real-video lets AI models process videos by extracting only the frames that change, rather than sampling at fixed intervals, with local processing that keeps the source video on your machine. The free version detects scene changes and removes duplicates to reduce frame count from 58 to 26 in a sample clip; the paid Pro version adds cinematography analysis and timestamps for non-visual elements like gestures and sound, priced at $19 through July 31 then $29 afterward. Users can now feed videos to Claude, ChatGPT, or Gemini with fewer, more meaningful frames and a transcript, reducing token costs while improving understanding compared to fixed-interval sampling or transcript-only approaches.

Anthropic's relationship with the Pentagon deteriorated over disagreements about safety guardrails, data access, and restrictions on military applications of its AI systems. The conflict centered on Anthropic's unwillingness to remove safeguards that the Defense Department wanted modified or eliminated for operational use. The breakdown resulted in reduced collaboration and highlighted tension between Anthropic's stated safety priorities and U.S. military acquisition goals.
