Two updates to share this week that reflect where Quarex is heading: smarter AI and a sharper focus on serving Hispanic American communities.
Try it now: Visit any Library and ask any question—you're now talking to Claude Sonnet 4.5 from Anthropic.
We've switched our AI from Google's Gemini to Claude Sonnet 4.5. The difference is immediately noticeable: sharper reasoning, more specific answers, and less hedging on contested topics.
Gemini often over-hedged on politically charged topics, adding unnecessary "some might argue" qualifiers that watered down the analysis. Claude cuts through that tendency and states claims directly. For civic education, that directness matters.
Claude also handles nuanced political questions better—the kind where framing matters and vague answers don't help anyone learn. We tested extensively before making the switch, and the improvement in response quality convinced us.
We've reorganized publicstudies.org to spotlight Hispanic Studies as a dedicated school. This isn't just a relabeling—it's a strategic commitment to serving Hispanic American communities with substantive educational content.
The Hispanic Studies school now includes six curricula:
Immigration policy, economic realities, education, healthcare, and civil rights.
Distinct communities, immigration patterns, cultural traditions, and identity.
Literature, art, music, science, sports, business, and beyond.
Colonialism, intervention, migration, and the deep roots of Hispanic communities.
Historia, cultura y polÃtica de las comunidades latinas en los Estados Unidos.
Género, poder, historia y los movimientos que cambiaron el mundo.
This positions Quarex well for Hispanic outreach—particularly with election2026.net and elecciones2026.net driving traffic as the 2026 midterms approach.
The dual-language approach is intentional. Some users prefer English, some prefer Spanish, some switch between depending on context. We're not assuming—we're providing options.
The Hispanic vote is not a monolith, and neither is Hispanic education. Our curricula reflect that diversity—from immigration debates to cultural identity to women's studies with a Latin American perspective.
Both updates are live now. We're continuing to build out content and improve the AI response quality. If you have feedback on either the Claude integration or the Hispanic Studies curricula, reply to this post or reach out directly.
The goal remains the same: make substantive civic education accessible to everyone, in the language and format that works for them.
