The downstream effect of this is that in essence, no model is allowed to be better or equal to Fable 5 and Mythos 5. The benchmark scores have already been revealed on the Arena scoreboard. Does this alter the roadmap of frontier labs?

[Anthropic @AnthropicAI]

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.

Case in point: Serena was able to close out her first match back with 3 unreturned serves (2 aces). Just insane.

[John @curiousfante]

Takeaways:
- Serena's serve remains a generational weapon. The timing for everything else is off, but I guess that will improve with match practice.

- Mboko will be a top 5 player in 2-3 years. Her groundstrokes are insane. Hits hard consistently with very little net clearance.

@audreyveronne lol, guess I had to for this moment.

It was Zverev, but it took him 5 sets against Cobolli.

This is at first glance very interesting. Although I feel that something about how meta this seems might make it brittle.

New Anthropic research: Natural Language Autoencoders.

Models like Claude talk in words but think in numbers. The numbers—called activations—encode Claude’s thoughts, but not in a language we can read.

Here, we train Claude to translate its activations into human-readable text.

Makerspaces + public libraries should be more common in the country.

On some level, I'm surprised there isn't a black market (that I'm aware of atm) for closed-source model weights. People feel really attached to these AIs.

“0.1% still using GPT-4o” BS, @OpenAI. GPT-4o was removed from free users months ago so of course usage looks small.
Plus and Pro are paying for legacy models, not the 5.2.
You're framing the numbers to justify retiring the models your paying customers rely on.
0.1% my ass.
