Stock Market Crash "Hindenburg Omen" Triggered ๐จ
The Hindenburg Omen, an indicator that correctly detected the 1987 and 2008 stock market crashes, has now triggered for the 3rd consecutive day ๐คฏ๐
Great column by @johnauthers on Japan for @business. Japan is in denial on debt. If it uses the BoJ to artificially cap yields, as it is currently, what would be a bond market crisis just morphs into a Yen devaluation spiral. High debt catches up with you. https://t.co/yYcopXNmk3
Anthropicโs Fable 5 scored 80.3% on SWE Bench Pro.
For comparison, Gemini 3.1 Pro scored 80.6% on the regular SWE Bench benchmark.
Different benchmark variants, but itโs still remarkable that Anthropic is now putting up roughly Gemini level numbers on the much much harder Pro version.
This is a super exciting release - Claude Fable 5 is the same underlying model as Mythos but with added safeguards. The benchmarks are great and it's SOTA on everything by a margin but I'll add that *qualitatively* also, this is a major-version-bump-deserving step change forward (imo of the same order as Claude 4.5 was in November), peaking especially for long problem-solving sessions on very difficult problems. You can give it a lot more ambitious tasks than what you're used to, the model "gets it" and it will just go, and it's never felt this tempting to stop looking at the code at all (but don't do this in prod!). The model still has quirks that people will run into and the safeguards are configured to be a little too trigger happy for launch, which can hopefully be tuned over time.
I feel a lot of things changing as working software increasingly comes out on a tap. The Jevon's paradox kicks in and I feel my own demand for software growing substantially. You can ask for anything - explainers, visualizers, dashboards, bespoke single-use apps (e.g. a full wandb that is hyper-specific just for your project), you can 10X your test suite, auto-optimize code, run giant research projects with custom HTML for the results, anything! "Free your mind" (Matrix ref). Really looking forward to all the things people build!
