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!

Huawei released KVarN, a KV-cache compression method for LLMs

It delivers 3-5x more context length, beats FP16 throughput, and keeps FP16 accuracy.

One flag in vLLM. Zero calibration.

🚨 [ICYMI] extracting data from PDFs just got solved.

Someone open-sourced a tool that turns PDFs into Markdown at 100 pages a second 🤯

It’s called OpenDataLoader.

It runs flawlessly on CPU and decodes tables, complex layouts, and nested structures like an absolute pro.

Best part?

100% free and open-source.

[Wise Advice @wiseadvicesumit]

🇮🇷 Iran is charging $2M per ship to cross the Strait of Hormuz and they want it in Bitcoin. 😳

At $72,000 per $BTC, each ship = 27.7 BTC.
Pre-crisis, 130 ships crossed daily.

• Daily: 3,611 BTC
• Monthly: 108,333 BTC
• Yearly: 1.3 million BTC

The entire Bitcoin network only mines 450 BTC per day.

Iran would accumulate 8x the monthly mining supply. Every month.

A sanctioned nation building a Bitcoin treasury through a toll booth.

This is the most important geopolitical Bitcoin story nobody is talking about. 🔥

@sesi_the_man That is awesome. Good to see people with some level of success have fun even when it’s a little bit at their own expense!
