Ride the trend

[John Ennis @johnennis]

My opinion is that Mythos is the current best model but not actually some world-changing dangerous model, and that anthropic did their usual song and dance about safety largely because they didn’t have enough compute to serve it at scale

So then they launched Fable because they still have to think about the IPO, but they are still somewhat compute limited so they put all sorts of restrictions on it

Around the same time, because they are trying to get regulatory capture and not because things are actually dangerous, Dario did more scaremongering and published his honestly confusing white paper that offered no real solutions

So finally they succeeded, they managed to freak out the government, their cynical plan backfired, and now it’s a giant pain in the ass

Sovereign AI means no more free riding, EU has to buy more GPUs and build more data centers.

Next year, Deekseek will provide the same intelligence but 1/10 the price.

[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.

Is it just me, or is Codex noticeably better than Claude Code.

Your SSD is a cache. S3 is the real database.

That sounds wrong until you see the math:

• S3: $0.023/GB/month
• EBS gp3: $0.08/GB/month
• 3x replication on EBS: $0.24/GB/month

At 10TB, that's $230 vs $2,400/month.

The trick is making S3 feel like local disk. That's what disaggregated storage engines do — hot path stays fast, cold path stays cheap.

The future of databases isn't faster disks. It's smarter caching on infinite storage.

The next challenging question is how to build a latency-sensitive OLTP database based on S3.

Growth + Profitability

[Markets Group @MarketsGrp]

Private equity firm Haveli Investments has agreed to acquire Couchbase in a deal valued at approximately $1.5 billion, aiming to tap into the company’s AI-focused database technology. Couchbase’s cloud-based platform supports AI applications with its scalable and flexible data model, making it a key player among next-gen database firms.

Under the deal, Haveli will pay $24.50 per share—a 29% premium over Couchbase’s previous closing price. Haveli already holds a 9.6% stake in the company, according to LSEG data, and had previously indicated plans to explore strategic options, including a possible merger.

NO FEES on web transactions. Game over for the Apple Tax.

Apple’s 15-30% junk fees are now just as dead here in the United States of America as they are in Europe under the Digital Markets Act. Unlawful here, unlawful there.

🚀 Excited to share @IBM plans to acquire @DataStax to accelerate production AI and NoSQL data at scale.

My journey at DataStax started 14 years ago! I’ve been lucky enough to participate in @Apache Cassandra® along with many of our products and services. I’ve stayed so long for the amazing team I get to work with, and the never ending stream of challenging opportunities to manage data at scale.

Now, DataStax and @Langflow combined with @IBMwatsonx will allow us to bring vector and AI search to the entire data estate and make IBM’s AI capabilities available to every developer.

DataStax has been, and will continue to be, deeply committed to open source principles and investing in the open source community, especially the Cassandra project. We respect the leadership and stewardship that IBM has demonstrated with OSS and the great OSS companies that have found a home at IBM, like Red Hat and others, and we’re excited to become part of a company that understands openness.

Thank you to every single person, customer, partner, and friend who has supported me along this journey so far - I cannot wait to see what we build next.
