The Claude Code creators just dropped a free session on how they build self-improving agents:

00:00 — why hand-coding is dead
05:06 — self-improving routines: Claude prompting Claude
18:15 — "wait, you wrote this by hand?!"
45:05 — make every task easier than the last
1:16:00 — what self-improving Claude decides to delete

Every paid Claude Code tutorial — for free.

Anthropic just released a free 3-hour masterclass on getting the most out of Claude Code — taught by the engineer who actually built it.

Here's what's inside:
00:07 — everything that's new in Claude Code
24:39 — Boris Cherny ships a full app live
55:38 — the complete prompting playbook
1:29:07 — the "thinking" lever almost nobody uses
1:52:58 — picking the right model for each task
2:24:22 — how Anthropic itself codes with Claude

Three hours here beats 10 paid Claude Code courses combined.

Watch it, then read the article below on building an AI that ships code while you sleep. 👇

We're extending access to Claude Fable 5 on all paid plans through July 12.

[Snoopy @TrioTop13]

Here we go: Sonnet 5 is live: The tl;dr • Anthropic calls it the most agentic Sonnet yet • Near Opus 4.8-level performance, but cheaper • Strong gains in reasoning, tool use, coding, and knowledge work • Default model for Free and Pro users • Available in Claude Code and API today • Intro pricing: $2/M input, $10/M output until Aug 31 • Standard pricing: $3/M input, $15/M output • Safer than Sonnet 4.6 overall, with lower hallucination and sycophancy rates • Cyber safeguards are enabled by default, but Anthropic says Opus still remains stronger for serious cyber work

[Snoopy @TrioTop13]

Here is my first assessment of Sonnet 5: Sonnet 5 is better than Sonnet 4.6. Who would have thought? But jokes aside: Unfortunately, it is weaker than Opus 4.8 across all evals. Why they nevertheless labeled the latest Sonnet 5 iteration with a “5”, even though “4.8” would have been more fitting, is beyond me. Normally, major version jumps in particular signal a significant leap in capability. Be that as it may: Sonnet 5 is good, but worse than expected. Pricing has not changed; it is on the same level as its predecessor. Opus is still more expensive, but at the same time it also remains better. Overall, the release irritates me and leaves more questions than it answers. I cannot help but see Sonnet 5 as a release that stands in the context of Fable 5. There was no mention of Fable 5 at all, which surprises me a lot. I really would have expected us to get news about it at the same time. But nothing. Instead, we get an update to a new model series (“5”), but one that is not significant compared with the models we already have. As a result, there is a lingering aftertaste that Sonnet was released as something in between, perhaps also simply to release something at all and to stay part of the conversation, including in a positive sense. Why no Opus 5, when we know that Fable 5 already exists as a model that performs significantly better than 4.8, and when we can assume both that a better Opus exists internally and that it would not be difficult to update Opus to the new generation? Why “only” Sonnet 5? Because restraint is currently required. The major releases are currently being delayed across the board; they are still in discussions with regulators about how the truly powerful frontier releases can be carried out at all and under what conditions. In my view, the Sonnet 5 release has to be seen against this background. And as a result, at least for me, it was disappointing overall.

Introducing Claude Sonnet 5, our most agentic Sonnet yet.

It makes plans, uses tools like browsers and terminals, and runs autonomously at a level that just a few months ago required larger and more expensive models.

Woke up to sonnet 5 in the model selector
We cannot use it yet unfortunately

Fable 5 May Require Identity Verification

Newly surfaced strings in the Claude app hint that Fable 5 might shift to its own usage-credit model, charged separately from a standard subscription.
That same update also mentions identity checks — a line reading that credits get applied only after a user's identity is confirmed — appearing right next to the Fable 5 credit changes, even though Anthropic had earlier stated ID verification wasn't connected to Fable.
Taken together, the signs point to Fable 5 potentially debuting with mandatory ID verification, tighter access controls, and standalone usage-based pricing.

🚨ANTHROPIC RAISES THE RENT ON AMAZON

>be amazon
>invest billions into anthropic
>make AWS anthropic's primary cloud
>resell claude on bedrock to enterprise customers >share 50% of gross profits on every sale to anthropic >also paying $1.9B/yr in cloud fees TO anthropic
>build the entire amazon product line on top of claude >alexa, kiro, quick... etc literally ALL products
>become completely dependent on anthropic
>amazon execs: "worried about perception" amazon now just a claude wrapper lol

>claude now the enterprise default for AWS customers >anthropic frustrated that Bedrock devs not adding new claude features fast enough
>meanwhile amazon engineers secretly "distilling" claude models >they knew price hikes were coming >dario knows he has leverage >renegotiates the contract
>amazon used to pay by compute hours (CHEAP)
>now pays per TOKEN starting next year (EXPENSIVE) >amazon: "this won't increase our costs" lmao
>but this also includes for the claude models it uses internally in its own products
>amazon ceo then calls the white house
>"dario's two best models? security risk btw"
>feds nuke mythos and fable

Amazon now evaluating OpenAI and its own Nova slop models to cut costs Absolute state.

🚨 Exclusive: new Claude app strings mention Fable 5 credits + identity verification

Fable 5 looks like it’s being put behind usage credits, billed outside your plan. one string says: “Your credits will be added once your identity is verified.” the weird part?

Anthropic said ID verification wasn’t a Fable thing and was only for flagged accounts. but these strings showed up with the Fable 5 credit changes

Prompt looping is the cheapest upgrade to your output and nobody uses it.
Don't accept the first answer. Loop it:

Generate
"Now critique this. What's weak?"
"Rewrite fixing those flaws"

Same model, 3x better result. I run this on every spec and PR.

✅Anthropic dropped a workshop on prompting Claude. 24 minutes, ~40 techniques, taught by the people who actually built it.

Free. No signup, no $300 course.
I code with Claude every day, and half of this I figured out the slow way over months. They just hand it to you.
