From Goldman's Delta-1 head, Rich Privorotski:

"A panel of Gemini 3 Flash, Kimi K2.6 and DeepSeek V4 Pro, fused together, beat solo GPT-5.5 and solo Opus 4.8 outright, while landing within 1% of Fable 5 at roughly half the cost.” (Openrouter -X ) If true, this is exactly the direction of travel the market has been underestimating. The race for intelligence increasingly feels as though it is shifting from a handful of labs toward model orchestration and open-source ecosystems. That is simultaneously bullish and bearish. Bullish because lower costs and broader access should ultimately drive more token consumption and more compute demand. Bearish because it accelerates token deflation and raises questions around the durability of model economics. The trillion dollar question remains whether lower intelligence costs ultimately create more demand than they destroy pricing power."

1: Judaism is Not Zionism!

2: Israel is not the state of the Jewish people!

3: Israel does not represent the Jews, and does not speak in their name!

4: Jews are not responsible for the actions of the State of Israel!

"The Jewish people have no state!

They could call themselves Herzlston, or whatever they want, but they are not "Israel" and they are not the "State of the Jews"!

The State of Israel does not represent world Jewry!

New update on Fable 5: and it's less about jailbreaks than anyone initially thought. Via Axios

The Axios story that just dropped today reframes the whole thing: Anthropic hired a cybersecurity expert to review Amazon's findings and push back on the government's narrative.

The administration viewed her as a "radical Democrat." She was then publicly celebrated by Chris Krebs, the official Trump just fired. That didn't help.

Behind the scenes, officials describe a company that simply doesn't know how to talk to this administration. "It's like they just speak different languages," one source said.

"Everybody said Anthropic was a bad actor. Some of us said it was time to give them a chance. Now those people are questioning that. They screwed us."

Today: Anthropic staffers meet with Commerce, the CIA, and White House science advisor Michael Kratsios to work through compliance with the cyber executive order.

The technical question - can Fable 5 be jailbroken - is almost secondary now. This is a story about a company that keeps losing the room.

Ill keep you updated.

BREAKING: Israeli settlers are burning down the villages of Deir Dibwan and Burqa in the West Bank.

They set a mosque on fire, torched several vehicles, and poured gasoline on an elderly man in an attempt to burn him alive.

Vinod, my understanding is these students walked out to protest Google's contract with IDF given Israel's genocide in Gaza.

Wherever one stands on those contracts, I believe you would support their right of free expression and challenging authority.

[Joe Kent @joekent16jan19]

We can strengthen our chances of this deal holding by cutting all military/intel assistance to Israel, they took every opportunity to tank this deal & will likely do so again unless we take action.

We should also quietly get our troops out of the bases in the Gulf that can be reached by Iran. This ensures Iranian hardliners can’t strike us to drag us back into the fight.

Take away every factor that we can control that could force us back into the war on Israel or Iran’s terms.

Set all conditions that we can control in our favor.

Austin probably has a great Civil Rights case out of this.

An official in the US government leveling punishment on a citizen for his speech is clearly in violation of about 12 Constitutional Rights.

Many Israelis are getting rich off the genocide in Gaza. One such case is that of Victory (Supermarket Chain Ltd.) is an Israeli retail corporation that operates a chain of discount grocery stores owened by Eyal Ravid and Avraham Ravid. Over the last few months they TRIPLED their profits by "selling" aid to Gaza after all other food was cut off from it:

1) Israel's Securities Authority forced Victory to refile its Q1 report. The regulator ruled it had hidden from investors what actually drove the quarter.

2) The driver was Gaza. Of a 152 million shekel rise in sales, 99 million came from sales to Gaza residents. Roughly two-thirds of the abnormal growth.

3) The turnaround was an illusion. Strip out Gaza and organic growth was 6 percent. The 23 percent same-store spike was Gaza sales booked to existing stores.

4) Net profit rose 784 percent. To about 18.6 million shekels, from about 2.1 million a year earlier.

5) In December 2025 the government routed aid purchases through 11 approved Israeli suppliers. Victory was one. Around 700 trucks a day, hundreds of millions of shekels a month.

6) The margins were gouging by design. Gazan merchants paid above the Israeli market rate. Suppliers added about 15,000 shekels per truck in fees, absorbed into the price. Near-expiry stock moved through the same pipeline.

7) The buyers were a blockaded population. Prices in Gaza rose by as much as 400 percent during closures. People paid scarcity prices because the alternative was nothing.

8) COGAT built it. The Defense Ministry hand-picked the merchants and screened them. The selection was opaque, and the Tax Authority refuses to name the winners.

9) The tell: Israel blocked these same goods for aid groups, then waved them through the same crossings for paid commercial resale. Items barred to NGOs, sold openly in Gaza markets.

Not only has Israel starved Gazans, often to death. They have also made great profits at the expense of Gazans using their hunger to drive up prices. They achieved this by stopping aid groups from delivering aid. Israel is profiting off its own genocide.

“She comes in as a self-declared ‘Zionist fanatic,’ and I’m sorry, but that should disqualify her from playing an editorial role in CBS News coverage of Israel.” https://t.co/jyfozd4Ii1

Andy Jassy was clue less about AI and incoming wave in 2020 when I worked for him and constantly made him aware of the things I was accomplishing in AI and now @ajassy just wants to sabotage other tech businesses because his ego gets hurt similar to how he would lose tennis matches and break his racket during competition because he sucked back then too
