@TheOvermanEthos Clever idea, but the incentives are backwards. Gyms rely on predictable revenue and low usage. Charging only when people don’t show up creates unstable cash flow, more churn, and friction at the worst moment. What works: reward attendance, not absence.

Claude Fable 5 will be available again globally tomorrow.

After a series of productive conversations with the US government, we're redeploying the model with a new set of classifiers to target and block more cybersecurity tasks. In the near term, some routine tasks like coding and debugging will fall back to Opus 4.8. We’ll continue to refine these classifiers over the coming weeks to reduce false positives and better distinguish genuine misuse from legitimate requests.

We’ve also begun drafting a consensus framework—with Amazon, Microsoft, Google, and other Glasswing partners—for assessing the severity of AI jailbreaks and how AI developers should respond to them. We invite other industry partners and model providers to join us in this effort.

Finally, we’re scaling up our collaboration with the US government on model testing and safeguards. This will include pre-release access to models and safeguards for evaluation, information sharing on jailbreaks and misuse, and dedicated resources for joint research.

Thank you to our users for your patience, and to our partners across the government, industry, and the research community who worked alongside us to make Fable 5 available again.

@alexgoughcooper Interesting ! I am willing to test

@AnthropicAI I will never understand Silicon Valley tech culture. A landlord is calling the cops on a tenant.

This is a super exciting release - Claude Fable 5 is the same underlying model as Mythos but with added safeguards. The benchmarks are great and it's SOTA on everything by a margin but I'll add that *qualitatively* also, this is a major-version-bump-deserving step change forward (imo of the same order as Claude 4.5 was in November), peaking especially for long problem-solving sessions on very difficult problems. You can give it a lot more ambitious tasks than what you're used to, the model "gets it" and it will just go, and it's never felt this tempting to stop looking at the code at all (but don't do this in prod!). The model still has quirks that people will run into and the safeguards are configured to be a little too trigger happy for launch, which can hopefully be tuned over time.

I feel a lot of things changing as working software increasingly comes out on a tap. The Jevon's paradox kicks in and I feel my own demand for software growing substantially. You can ask for anything - explainers, visualizers, dashboards, bespoke single-use apps (e.g. a full wandb that is hyper-specific just for your project), you can 10X your test suite, auto-optimize code, run giant research projects with custom HTML for the results, anything! "Free your mind" (Matrix ref). Really looking forward to all the things people build!

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.

@karpathy Welcome to the team @karpathy

[ClaudeDevs @ClaudeDevs]

We're co-hosting a couple of hackathons in San Francisco next week. Come build with Claude 👇

[ClaudeDevs @ClaudeDevs]

Over the past month, some of you reported Claude Code's quality had slipped. We investigated, and published a post-mortem on the three issues we found.

All are fixed in v2.1.116+ and we’ve reset usage limits for all subscribers.

[Max @crypt_max]

I built a calculator that tells you if you can actually afford to japa.

Tested it on myself. It told me to stay in Lagos 😂

It gives you 3 scores side by side:
→ Japa Score - can you afford to relocate?
→ Stay Score - what does staying look like financially?
→ Remote Score - earn in dollars, live in Lagos

My Canada results: Japa 7 | Stay 9 | Remote 9

My savings last 5.2 months in Toronto. ₦1M = C$1,012 there. But earning in C$ from Lagos? 3x purchasing power.

The honest math doesn't care about your feelings.

It’s weekend, build something even if it sucks!

[Max @crypt_max]

🚨 The weekend is coming, but the tech stack just shifted again. Here is what happened in the last 24 hours:

> @OpenAI is reportedly building an "AI SuperApp." They’re merging ChatGPT, the browser, and Codex into one unified desktop hub. The era of switching between 10 tabs to debug a single function is officially ending.

> @alibaba_cloud just reported 36% revenue growth, driven almost entirely by AI demand. Even with hardware costs spiking, the global appetite for compute isn't slowing down, it's accelerating.

> @figma is moving to a "Pay-per-Credit" AI model this month. 75% of enterprise users are already hooked. We’re officially moving from "SaaS Subscriptions" to "Utility-Based AI Tax."

> @LinkedIn updated its algorithm (again). It’s now prioritizing "Deep-Point-of-View" content over generic AI-generated advice. If your posts sound like a chatbot, the algorithm is silently burying you.

> @MistralAI just dropped a "Code-Proofing" agent that claims to match top-tier performance on a fraction of the token budget. Efficiency is becoming the only metric that matters for production-grade apps.

This isn’t the future of software. It’s already Friday in Lagos. 🚀

@trq212 @kloss_xyz This is massive. ⚡️ Next step: a persistent cloud/background mode so I don't need my PC awake. Coding from the park via TG is the dream.

[Max @crypt_max]

Most engineers are still treating AI like a "better Google Search." That’s the quickest way to become obsolete by Q4.

The shift from Autocomplete to Agentic Workflows is where the 10x happens:

> If you’re writing auth logic from scratch in 2026, you’re wasting your client’s money.

> If your "Agent" can't run tests and fix its own bugs in the terminal, it's just a fancy chatbot.

> The real skill isn't "Prompt Engineering" it's Context Engineering. Knowing exactly what documentation and state to feed the model so it doesn't hallucinate.

I’m seeing teams ship entire MVPs in 48 hours because they stopped "coding" and started "orchestrating."

What’s the one task you’re still doing manually that an agent should have taken over by now? 👇

[Max @crypt_max]

Google's problem isn't a lack of models; it's the 'Innovator’s Dilemma.' They have a search monopoly to protect, which makes them play defense with safety rails and legacy integration.

A decentralized 'hunger games' between 100 teams sounds great until you realize they’re all competing for the same internal data and approval from the same legal department.

[Max @crypt_max]

@sweatystartup Predicting the end of AI because of energy costs feels like predicting the end of the internet in 2000 because dial-up was too slow. The market doesn't plummet because things get expensive; it pivots to whoever solves the efficiency problem first.

[Max @crypt_max]

Interesting theory, but the 'exclusive Azure' clause has always been the ticking time bomb in the MSFT/OpenAI relationship.

If OpenAI is pivoting to a PBC, they have a fiduciary duty to scale, which is impossible if they’re locked into a single provider's margin.

The real question isn't if Sam 'betrayed' Satya, but whether the original contract was even enforceable once the scale hit the hundreds of billions.

🚨 Tech is moving faster than the documentation. Here is what happened in the last 24 hours:

> The "Mystery Model" Hunter Alpha was just unmasked. It’s not DeepSeek-V4, it’s Xiaomi’s MiMo-V2-Pro. The shift from "Chatbot" to "Agent Brain" is happening faster than anyone predicted.

> @claudeai is officially the most-used AI coding assistant as of March 2026. If you're still just using autocomplete, you're competing against engineers running entire "Agent Teams" in their terminal.

> @nvidia GTC 2026 just dropped a bombshell: Robots aren't here to replace jobs; they’re here to fill the "Shortage Gap." The economy is expanding into areas we couldn't previously staff.

> High-Intent > Mass Outreach. 61% of IT leaders cut projects this year due to unplanned price hikes. If your sales strategy is still "volume," you're shouting into a void of budget cuts.

> 3D GenAI just went mainstream. @TencentGlobal and 3D AI Studio are scaling production-grade 3D model generation via API. The barrier between "Product Idea" and "High-Fidelity Asset" has vanished.

> This isn’t the future of software. It’s already Thursday in Lagos.

Which of these is shifting your roadmap for Q2? 👇
