@AnthropicAI Oh no! Now that I have tasted Fable, I cannot go back to Opus 4.8 anymore.

Back to GPT-5.5 I guess.

[Magic Rook @magic_rook]

There is no way I am going to be able to go back from Fable 5 to Codex-5.5 now.

I have been a huge fan of 5.5, but Fable is just so good!

I will be SO disappointed on the 22nd the Fable access is removed. Send help!

Really wish either Anthropic decides to continue providing cheap access to Fable, or hope @sama comes to the rescue again with a new model.

@EcZachly but have you considered inflation

@NousResearch Phone app when?

[Magic Rook @magic_rook]

@finbarrtimbers Do we really think that the other labs are so far behind in capabilities?

Regardless of what they have released to the public, I'd assume that Anthropic, OpenAI, and DeepMind are all very comparable in terms of the frontier.

[Magic Rook @magic_rook]

This is such a bummer.

Anthropic always seems to find a way to fall short of my high expectations of them, and OpenAI always seems to exceed my (slightly lower) expectations of them.

[elie @eliebakouch]

mythos will be bad ON PURPOSE on ai "frontier llm research" tasks, this is very very sad for the research community

also the fact that this is un purpose not visible to the user is crazy

If you are not able to see Claude Fable 5 as an option in your claude code, type in the following in the chat:

/model claude-fable-5

[Magic Rook @magic_rook]

now that openai has a stellar image model which is actually steerable (while still lagging in creativity imo), midjourney is thoroughly screwed.

they had all the time to win, and this is completely on them, imo.

[Magic Rook @magic_rook]

midjourney is crazy good, and crazy bad too.

very very confusing product imo.

[Magic Rook @magic_rook]

the creativity is unmatched. no lab can match their style or variety still imo.

at the same time, the product is the worst of all, you cannot iterate on anything. it just generates and generates fresh. there is no way to adjust an existing image! (i mean you can try, it does not work).

[Magic Rook @magic_rook]

@DhravyaShah very nice. congrats on the launch

[Magic Rook @magic_rook]

i shudder at the thought of doing any kind of paperwork. it is one of those things that i procrastinate on, every time.

this tax season, i started filing my taxes manually, and it said i owe $3k. not ideal, i generally get refunds, so this was a surprise and something to fix - but remember i loathe doing this work.

tasked codex with this, explained my situation, fed it the last years tax return. first, it figured out my financial institutions, logged on to each one by one and downloaded the tax forms. organized all of these, and helped fill them precisely on the tax software. next up, various deductions including donations. looking at my emails and bank statements, codex pulled every single donation and added them meticulously. i would be too lazy to do this manually.

after we did a bunch of back and forth on what i thought needed to be optimized, codex was able to get me a tax refund of $13k.

if you are not using codex for all tasks, you are running behind.

[Greg Brockman @gdb]

codex is great for any kind of work done with a computer:

[Magic Rook @magic_rook]

@bryan_johnson i don’t think i have seen you talk about the impact of friends and family on longevity.

add more social activities to your experiments and talk more about them please.

[Magic Rook @magic_rook]

@Sherifdeenolat2 @max_spero_ @paulg bro it’s clear, CLEAR, that some of these posts are AI.

may be you are not able to detect these, which also explains why you thought it was a good idea to set up the bots.

but you are not convincing anyone by arguing about this. it is very clear, unfortunately.

[Magic Rook @magic_rook]

@Winterrose hell yeah!

[Magic Rook @magic_rook]

@aribk24 unfortunately, none of the things you listed provide meaning to life.

if you chase more of the same, you will feel the same at 42 too.

[Magic Rook @magic_rook]

imo this could turn out to be a win for openai and @sama.

openai has been aggressively procuring compute at least for the past 3 years.

the spacex deal is just temporary. roughly by end of 2027 when the dario elon relationship inevitably turns sour, openai will have golden chance to retake a big chunk of the market.

[Sawyer Merritt @SawyerMerritt]

Wow, Anthropic has agreed to pay @SpaceX $1.25 billion per month through May 2029 for AI compute capacity, with capacity ramping in May and June 2026 at a reduced fee.

Huge deal

[Magic Rook @magic_rook]

@yishan and the results look fantastic!
