The CIO mindset - CIOs are busy nowadays. CEOs want progress on AI, their C-Suite peers want AI transformation resources, and everyone wants to move fast.
On the other hand the AI landscape is far from static, coding is a real use case, but costs are rising and headcount savings are being overwhelmed by increased demand. Other POCs on AI are still being figured out and ROI isn't fully realized. CIOs need to determine long term architectures, choose partners and technologies which will likely change a few times before we stabilize.
On the day job, (non AI side), CIOs need to decide which SaaS contracts to commit to where to retain flexibility, how to deliver the promises already made with projects mid stream, and what to redirect to pay for the AI landslide.
They need to find budget dollars to work on all of the following:
Priorities
1. Figure out AI, evaluate, commit to clear ROI and keep your powder dry.
2. Deal with Mythos and prepare for a new world of Cyber, rethink point solves vs platforms.
3. Create capacity in budget for increasing AI usage.
4. Evaluate the vendor landscape and evaluate how the vendors will evolve and determine strategic redirection where needed.
5. Prioritize hardware purchases where compute and memory prices are going to be on the rise for the foreseeable future.
This is normal in a technology super cycle. The CIOs will have to power through these dynamics. We are definitely seeing this in the equity markets with everyone trying to pick winners and losers. I think it's too early to draw long term conclusions. Customers are still adjusting to the economic realities of AI and reallocating spend, this reset is being reflected in the equity markets.
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.

The tragedy in Chhattisgarh is deeply painful. 20 families have lost everything. Proper compensation, livelihood support for the families, and a thorough investigation are non-negotiable.
But naming Shri @AnilAgarwal_Ved Ji in the FIR before any investigation raises serious concerns. He is a self-made man from a humble and backward community background who built a global enterprise from scratch. He had no role in that plant's operations.
When accidents happen in PSU plants or Railways, do we name the Chairman? We do not. The same standard must apply to the private sector too.
Investigate first. Establish responsibility based on evidence. Then act.
India's #ViksitBharat vision needs people like Shri Anil Agarwal to keep investing and building. That happens only when investors trust the system. 🇮🇳
Great write-up! Filed a real-world discoverability issue that validates what @codylundai said about Claude skipping relevant skills.
I spent 2 sessions doing heavy PDF work (pypdf, reportlab, fitz) — Claude never suggested the PDF skill. When I asked why, Claude itself said "no PDF skill exists." Took 3 rounds of web searching to find it was buried inside document-skills in a marketplace not added by default.
The compound problem: hidden marketplace + bundle naming + no /plugin search + no auto-suggestion = invisible skills.

@vaibhavbetter True that. I agree with the direction. We are building for AI Native Supply Chain Orchestration tools - focussed on Consumer Brands in India..
@paraschopra humans are so hardwired and conditioned for status games. While they (games) have always been pointless on long horizons of lifescale - it would be a hard realization in post ai world.. I would hope we progress into a world where we do things for the heck of doing it 🤞
@vasuman i vibecoded a study app for cbse grade 8 students adopting priciples of active retreival, spacd repetetion, mastery learning taking inspiration from math academy. it took me about 30-40 hours of my time which would have taken not less than 20-30 lacs in pre ai coding workflow.
@bcherny@bcherny how about creating a feature in claude code that observes your usage pattern and suggests you claude power user features that would improve your produtivity... it can be switched on/off , as it would consume tokens - but hopefully it would help a lot of users like me.
