The results of the US government banning Fable 5:
1. Precedent for banning AI models from ie. @OpenAI, @Google, etc
2. Countries forced to make their own AI models instead of buying from the US
3. Everyone loses, and the US surrenders its place as the world's undisputed economic superpower
The US and the US dollar have ruled the world because of its technology EXPORT (!!)
The world loved to buy and run on American tech!
Now, this trust is eroding
It is now up to companies like Strawberry and others to build our own AI models and platforms
we've never been more ready
It might take some time, but it's coming
And when it's here, it will be glorious
This is your wakeup call.
Anthropic just took down Fable 5. It's over.
Here's the thing tho: no company or government will EVER be able to take away your local models.
There are Opus level models you can run right now on your home GPUs, and nobody can ever stop you from using them
This is only the beginning of events like this. Day 1. More government overreach will happen. This will only keep happening more and more as models get closer to AGI
Become sovereign. Buy your own compute. Before even that becomes illegal
The US government, citing national security authorities, has issued an export control directive to suspend all access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 by any foreign national, whether inside or outside the United States, including foreign national Anthropic employees.
The net effect of this order is that we must abruptly disable Fable 5 and Mythos 5 for all our customers to ensure compliance.
Access to all other Claude models is not affected.
We apologize for this disruption to our customers. We believe this is a misunderstanding and are working to restore access as soon as possible.

Today, we're introducing Claude Fable 5 and Mythos 5, two configurations of our next major language model.
I'd normally highlight the numbers: It's SOTA on nearly all benchmarks. I want to talk about something else, because with Fable 5 out in the world, I think a third era quietly started today.
I lead Claude Code & Cowork on the desktop, so I think a lot about how people use AI to get work done. I believe we're about to see a major shift, moving from giving AI tasks to giving it responsibilities.
Karpathy threw a grenade at every senior engineer who still treats LLMs as a toy.
his actual words: the worst thing an expert can do right now is reject them.
most experts read it as a threat, but it's advice.
his framing:
> the gap between "AI tools are bad" and "AI tools are useful when used right" is professional discipline, not capability
> agents have cognitive deficits. they fail in ways nothing in the training set anticipated
> the experts who reject LLMs lose to experts who learn to wrangle them
> "models have so many cognitive deficits. but you can route around them"
routing around the deficits is what CLAUDE.md was invented for.
Karpathy himself wrote 4 rules. across 30 codebases they took my Claude error rate from 41% down to 11%. solid drop.
but his rules pre-date the slop era going public. I bolted on 8 more, tuned to the failure modes that surfaced after January. got it down to 3%.
a CLAUDE.md does not raise Claude's IQ. it lowers his slop floor. that is the entire game.

the model is not the bottleneck. your config is.
@morganlinton Have you noticed the usage is far lower since GPT-5.5? When it first launched, it was nearly unusable because of token usage. $10-15 per request
Effective today, we are:
1) Doubling Claude Code’s 5-hour rate limits for Pro, Max, and Team plans;
2) Removing the peak hours limit reduction on Claude Code for Pro and Max plans; and
3) Substantially raising our API rate limits for Opus models.
Over the past month, some of you reported Claude Code's quality had slipped. We investigated, and published a post-mortem on the three issues we found.
All are fixed in v2.1.116+ and we’ve reset usage limits for all subscribers.
