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.

Today I'm publishing a new essay, Policy on the AI Exponential. AI is progressing extremely fast—much faster than the policy process was built to handle. The essay lays out where I think the technology is now, and the action needed to close the gap: https://t.co/Lh6PWae178
Good take
My guess is
- demand for intelligence is near infinite
- but 80% of workloads will be running on 99% cheaper models within 12-18 months
- 20% of workloads will still run on latest gen models where IQ maxing is important (scientific breakthroughs, higher level ochestrator agents?)
- rough analogy might be what % of macbooks or gaming PCs sold have the maxed out specs for CPU/GPU, prices are falling much faster than Moore's law here though
- this leads me to think the limiting factor will be energy and compute, not better models
At Coinbase we're working hard on routing prompts to cheaper models where appropriate, and in some cases have been able to keep costs roughly flat, while token usage continues to grow exponentially.
Introducing FrontierCode: a coding eval that raises the bar for difficulty & quality. Each task took 40+ hrs of work by leading open-source maintainers.
Models write sloppy code that works but isn’t maintainable. Our eval is first to measure: would you actually merge this code?
We’ve been researching new ways for ChatGPT memory to carry context across conversations and keep it useful over time.
Today, that work is rolling out as a more capable memory system in ChatGPT. https://t.co/0MyFKCe2Mu
Just tried the product, this is absolutely amazing
felt like if Apple would be able to do it at OS level, would be even awesome
Computer use is just so slow
Anthropic engineer:
"You're not supposed to watch Claude Code work. You're supposed to wake up and review what it shipped."
In 22 minutes she builds the entire workflow live on camera.
Most people close their terminal and everything stops.
This setup keeps shipping while you sleep.
Watch the video, then save the exact setup below👇
autonomous agents need budget boundaries as much as permission boundaries
if an agent can loop, retry, spawn tasks, or call expensive models/tools, “works in the demo” is not enough
the product needs cost limits, traces, and kill switches
Introducing Claude Opus 4.8: it builds on Opus 4.7 with sharper judgment, more honesty about its own progress, and the ability to work independently for longer than its predecessors.
Available today at the same price.
AI is getting scary
I was on a Zoom call with my CTO and got curious where he was recently staying.
I dropped a screenshot of an INSIDE Zoom background into GeoSpy AI (now Raven).
30 seconds later it returned the exact address.
In 2 years there will be more agents using Slack than people.
That's not a prediction. It's a roadmap.
Q1 FY27:
• Slack MCP: 1 million users in the first 6 weeks
• Slack AWUs: up 350% QoQ
• Slack in nearly half of Salesforce's $1M+ wins this quarter (+80% YoY)
Slackbot is now an MCP client. Create a NetSuite PO. Update a Jira project. Summarize a Salesforce case. No switching tools.
The future of work isn't in a browser tab.
