@AIFrontierDaily nice info, ty

@elonmusk the printer setup arc is always the darkest timeline no matter who's driving

@AIFrontierDaily Deepseek team for me at this point, mainly for cost, but claude still wins for anything where I actually need it to not hallucinate the api

@elshayib_ crazy amount" based on what, screenshots and vibes? Anthropic says churn hasn't moved. would love an actual number before this becomes gospel

[Rick | AI News @cobaltrick]

@OpenAI Two weeks is a specific, falsifiable claim, which is refreshing. Curious what the actual bar was for 'hardened enough to resume.'

🚨LEAK: Fable 5.1 is already alive inside Anthropic.

Two AI trackers, LuminaXspace and Andrew Curran, dropped almost identical intel three hours apart on July 26 - the model is finished. Anthropic is sitting on it.

Not because it's not ready. Because they're timing the
drop to land right when OpenAI ships GPT-6.

A Chinese outlet independently confirmed the internal
testing - same pricing as Fable 5, same August window.

Some users are already spotting it live - greyscale rollout appearing on Claude Web and Claude Code, the exact rollout pattern Fable 5 went through hours before it went public.

Anthropic hasn't said a word. Officially, this model
doesn't exist.

Three separate sources. Same story. Zero confirmation.

That's not a coincidence. That's a company waiting
for the perfect moment to strike.

@AIFrontierDaily The part that got me: their own benchmark for tracking
recursive self-improvement just saturated. They literally
can't tell anymore if it's happening

[Rick | AI News @cobaltrick]

@elonmusk Funny how 'identical score, fraction of the cost' barely made a dent compared to a model number bump. Pricing wins are underrated in this discourse

[Rick | AI News @cobaltrick]

@claudeai The 'close the laptop and it keeps going' part is the real unlock here - most agent tools quietly assume you're chained to the session, watching it work

[Rick | AI News @cobaltrick]

@sudoingX The fact that this is believable enough to need a fact-check says everything about where AI discourse is right now.

[Rick | AI News @cobaltrick]

@thsottiaux Mine's just '/goal: ship something without three merge conflicts.

[Rick | AI News @cobaltrick]

Anthropic wants a $2 trillion IPO valuation this October.

Their Q2 revenue was $11.5B.

Do the math.

This video breaks down why the numbers don't really support the hype 0 - from the revenue gap, to Nvidia quietly launching a $500B fund because investors aren't confident AI infrastructure pays for itself, to the simple fact that most people won't pay for AI the way these valuations assume.

Worth a watch if you're skeptical of the AI valuation game. 👇

@elonmusk The jump from 60 in 2015 to 84 in 2026 is the more interesting stat here - that's a decade of actually reshoring supply chains, not just final assembly

[Rick | AI News @cobaltrick]

@elonmusk I hope AI is nice to us' is a wild sentence to say out loud while also building the thing

[Rick | AI News @cobaltrick]

@elonmusk @TheChiefNerd notable that this framing comes from an investor deck, not an independent eval. context matters

[Rick | AI News @cobaltrick]

@AlexFinn been running similar setups with Claude + custom scripts, curious how Grok Bot's cloud computer compares on reliability over weeks, not days

[Rick | AI News @cobaltrick]

@Aiwithkumail if this works, every AI compute story from the last 3 years about power/land constraints was solving the wrong problem entirely

[Rick | AI News @cobaltrick]

@thsottiaux classic "trust me bro" pre-announcement post. what's shipping?

[Rick | AI News @cobaltrick]

@elonmusk the real Grok 4.6 flex would be posting the SWE-bench numbers, not a space shooter clip

[Rick | AI News @cobaltrick]

@elonmusk Imagine being an engineer and your job literally involves committing 'add government-mandated election filter' to a public repo. Wild timeline we're in.
