In the past week it has been instrumental to be using multiple models. Even in just the cockpit model preparing prompts for the other models to review it was catching things it had missed.
For me this hits home in the biggest way: "The good part of any job is the stretch where you’re doing the thing you’re genuinely good at, and everything around it, the politics and the status and the meetings about other meetings, is a tax you pay to get there."
The rest is fantastic. Read it.
As a result of a US government directive, we are suspending access to Claude Fable 5 for all users. You can continue to use all other Claude models.
Here’s what this means for you:
Across Claude products, new sessions will run on your selected default model or Opus 4.8, and existing Fable 5 sessions will end with an error.
On the Claude Platform, requests to Fable 5 will also return an error. Please update your integrations to other Claude models.
We know this is a disruption to your workflows; we appreciate your patience and support.
@anthropic Fable 5 already provided personal and professional wins today. Saved a bird that I rescued from a little pond in my backyard today with the help of Fable 5. Then work that over the past couple days I did with Opus 4.8, gpt-5.5, and kimi 2.6. It came along and it surfaced some items with GUC and postgres on a new project. 😎
Vibes might be off: PDF document indexing likely doesn’t work. In AI-Blueprint/app/core/document_indexer.py:180, _extract_pdf_pages() imports PdfReader but never reads pages, and the actual reader code is unreachable later under _xlsx_cell_text() after return raw at AI-Blueprint/app/core/document_indexer.py:251
Long ago I had hoped to be able to track my costco purchases over visits and get it into a db. Sat down and with hermes hooked up to kimi 2.6 via fireworks ai knocked it out in about an hour and half. Now I have a skill I can just call and it just does it. 😎
Opus 4.6 1m tokens was the point in time for me. I truly can say I can 10x develop. I know I can go even faster once I just master git worktrees with my working env. Easy ramp to 15x-20x once I get my tooling in place.
I don’t think the average person can even begin to know what exponential truly means in relation to what we are living through and what is to come. Buckle up. 🚀
