Introducing Claude Fable 5: a Mythos-class model that we’ve made safe for general use.

Its capabilities exceed those of any model we’ve ever made generally available.

Personal update: I've joined Anthropic. I think the next few years at the frontier of LLMs will be especially formative. I am very excited to join the team here and get back to R&D. I remain deeply passionate about education and plan to resume my work on it in time.

CAPTCHAs are supposed to prove you’re human… so I trained a robot to solve them.

The setup:
→ SO-101 robotic arm (@huggingface)
→ Camera feedback loop
→ Teleoperated demonstrations
→ Fine-tuned π0 VLA policy (@physical_int)

What should I teach this robot to do next?

@nicholaschen__ @Spotify this is super cool fire read

[nic @nicholaschen__]

i listen to a lot of music and that got me interested in audio formats and how @spotify and other apps compress audio while still keeping lossless quality

i wrote a blog on how how lossless compression preserves audio quality:
