Claude Fable 5 is our first generally available Mythos-class model.

It ships with new safety classifiers that may flag certain prompts in dual-use domains like cyber and bio.

We've added fallbacks: a refused request retries on Claude Opus 4.8 instead of dead-ending.

Some more images of Henry Cavill on the set of director Chad Stahelski's new film, Highlander, filming in Poland. Stahelski and cinematographer Dan Laustsen are using the ARRI Alexa 35 paired with ARRI Signature Prime lenses. When it comes to drones, Laustsen uses the DJI Mavic 3 Pro Cine and DJI Inspire 3.

The next shoot is scheduled in Hong Kong.

'So' was released on this day 40 years ago.

"I think part of the reason that ‘So’ works so well was that the band was really firing off each other and we had a great sound and production team. It was compact in the process and the way it was put together." - pg

An early frontrunner for bird of the spring on SMI Wetland emerged this pm, a female Nightjar. Pretty bizarre given these wintery weather conditions!

Our measure, "observed exposure," compares the tasks LLMs are theoretically capable of to the tasks people actually use Claude for at work.

We find that actual usage is far from reaching theoretical capability.

Reflecting on a remarkable day of winter birding around the county yesterday, starting with the unprecedented flock of 29 Common Cranes at Denwick, followed by an unsuccessful wild eagle chase at Druridge Bay. Made up for though by 50+ WF Geese, RN Grebe, Smew, SEO etc.

Photographer Shaaz Jung captured a rare and enchanting moment: An elephant, deep within a mist-shrouded forest in Nagerhole National Park, India, stood in quiet communion with a tiny bird perched on his tusk.
