Classification versus blobs

aren’t the make_classification and make_blobs doing the same thing? You said in video that latter one is making cluster, so isn’t the first one also making clusters?

They are somewhat similar, sklearn documentation gives more detailed description how the data points are being generated.
Classification
http://scikit-learn.org/stable/modules/generated/sklearn.datasets.make_classification.html
More suitable for classification data-sets.

Blobs
http://scikit-learn.org/stable/modules/generated/sklearn.datasets.make_blobs.html
More suitable for clustering datasets.
