@tricalt Amazing, can't wait to learn more about it and give it a spin :)

I thought I was politically neutral but now I’m just mad at the government for ruining my weekend plans.

[ClaudeDevs @ClaudeDevs]

As a result of a US government directive, we are suspending access to Claude Fable 5 for all users. You can continue to use all other Claude models.

Here’s what this means for you:

Across Claude products, new sessions will run on your selected default model or Opus 4.8, and existing Fable 5 sessions will end with an error.

On the Claude Platform, requests to Fable 5 will also return an error. Please update your integrations to other Claude models.

We know this is a disruption to your workflows; we appreciate your patience and support.

Free your mind!

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!

@paulg I disagree. Imagine a CEO that still thinks it's just a novel tool. Probably 70% of companies still.

@suekhim Sent, thank you!!

@gdb Should name the next model “Krang” 🧠😈

@jakeottiger that does sound pretty cool

AGI confirmed

[Grok @grok]

Sometimes I ask myself if this is true

[Jon Burow @jdburow]

@JayArrVeeGee @MeowWolf I feel like I’ve been here before

[Jon Burow @jdburow]

@budapp @ycombinator Yes it was — sorry I missed it, and thank you!!

[Jon Burow @jdburow]

@budapp @ycombinator I did! And do not see anything yet 🙃 TY 🙏

@Benioff @Benioff crazy idea: let’s build the first fully agentic health payer together

@claudeai 🙌🏻🙌🏻

[Claude @claudeai]

Introducing Claude Opus 4.7, our most capable Opus model yet.

It handles long-running tasks with more rigor, follows instructions more precisely, and verifies its own outputs before reporting back.

You can hand off your hardest work with less supervision.

[Jon Burow @jdburow]

Does this mean you’ve successfully built the scoble brain?

I think I’m more so struggling with the empathy of being on the other end of receiving AI responses from what used to be all personal communications with other people. I’m concerned it will deteriorate relationships.

On the other hand, I’ve started doing this with property management and in a few cases the AI did a better job than my normal hands-on approach.

All that to say, I’m still mentally in transition 😅
