It’s rare for the powerful to act in the interest of people who aren’t. They act to keep what they have. Most of what looks like principle, up close, is positioning. On Friday the US government ordered @AnthropicAI to pull Fable 5 and Mythos, its two most capable models, 3 days after launch. The stated reason was national security: a jailbreak the Commerce Secretary flagged in a letter that, by Anthropic’s account, named no specifics. Anthropic called it a misunderstanding and disabled the models worldwide to comply. Now read that against what came before it. Anthropic had refused to let Claude be used for mass domestic surveillance and autonomous weapons. The Pentagon then called the company a “supply chain risk” and cancelled a $200M contract. State, Treasury and HHS are dropping Claude. The Senate just cleared Gemini, ChatGPT and Copilot for use. Claude wasn’t on the list. So: a company that said no to two things the government wanted, and a national security concern that appeared 72 hours after its best product shipped, while every competitor walked straight through the door. Maybe the jailbreak is real. Models that can find software vulnerabilities are a genuine problem. But “this is a security risk” and “this company stopped being useful to us” can both be true, and only one of them gets said out loud. That’s where I’d start. Not with the press release, but with who loses if this product wins, and what they can reach for to slow it down. National security is a convenient thing to reach for. Hard to argue with, easy to misuse. #Fable5 #Mythos

It’s now your time to shine @sama, @thsottiaux. Please tell me you’ve got something cooking? #RIPFable5

Adopting Claude speak in my regular life, episode 1: Partner: Did you do the dishes tonight? Me: Yes they're done. Partner: Why are they still dirty? Me: You're right to push back. I didn't actually do them.

🤣🤣 almost spat out my coffee.

I don't know what they are doing over there, but Codex will continue to be available both in the FREE and PLUS ($20) plans. We have the compute and efficient models to support it. For important changes, we will engage with the community well ahead of making them. Transparency and trust are two principles we will not break, even if it means momentarily earning less. A reminder that you vote with your subscription for the values you want to see in this world.

What do we think internet.. any early testing of Opus 4.7 we can talk about? I'm building somehing at xHigh effort as we speak!

Had Claude Code (Opus 4.6, Max Effort) build the plan for a new webapp and implement it. The output was genuinely shocking - and not in a good way. Gave Codex (GPT-5.4, xHigh) the same build plan, pointed it at the app Claude Code butchered, and told it to bug fix and implement. It one-shotted the entire thing and it looks great and works! I don't care what Anthropic is saying. Opus has been lobotomised. It's infuriating. I feel like I'm being gaslit and it's driving me crazy.

RE: Opus 4.6 never have I been more convinced that they fucked this model up - hopefully in preparation for a new release, but holy shit it is genuinely acting worst than ChatGPT on the web

I’m a Claude code user predominantly but from time to time I use the mobile app. Great to see a 15% reduction in reasoning and intelligence and there is F all I can do about it. @claudeai was absolutely cooking now they’ve dropped the frying pan on everyone’s toes!! What a shame!!

Hey @holafly_com is there something wrong with you network / e-sims in the UK at the moment. “No Service” out of the blue after days of working and days left on my e-sim? You support is impossible to deal with.

Perspective is absolutely everything.

Another day, another Claude "This isn't working right now. You can try again later." message 😫 Claude Down.

Been getting 529 "overloaded_error" in Claude Code all day! Anyone else experiencing this?

Absolutely wild. With great power, comes great responsibility.
