Spent 3 hours on a thumbnail last month.
Got 200 views.
Built ThumbIQ to fix that.
It's an AI thumbnail maker trained on thousands of viral YouTube videos — in your exact niche.

Anthropic pushed the AI safety narrative harder than anyone.
Now its own Fable model is getting caught in the regulatory crossfire.
The irony writes itself.
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.

Usage limits are up, effective today we're:
1) Doubling Claude Code's 5-hour limits for Pro, Max, Team and seat-based Enterprise plans
2) Removing peak hours limit reduction on Claude Code for Pro and Max plans
3) Substantially raising our API rate limits for Opus models
