Hawig Ventures hawig.xyz/ is up and running, which means we are getting close to launching @yieldshield_ai. But I also have a bunch of other ideas, and I'm happy to help anyone who wants to combine AI with Web3 composability.

Is 96 Subagents too much? I'm asking for a friend 😀

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. Read our full statement: anthropic.com/news/fable-myt…

PSA: Everyone across Go, Plus, Pro & Business gets a usage limit reset to use whenever they want! And for the next 2 weeks if you invite a friend to use codex both of you get a reset too :) Codex for everyone (including resets) Enjoy!
Jun 12
We heard you wanted to use Codex rate limit resets on your own time. Starting today, we’re rolling out the ability to save rate limit resets to use later. We’re starting Go, Plus, Pro, and Business users with one free reset:

Claude Fable didn't let me run a security audit, but it did allow me to run a multi-agent "full protocol design review," and the end result could easily have been used by any attacker. Why not release Mythos directly?
Introducing Claude Fable 5: a Mythos-class model that we’ve made safe for general use. Its capabilities exceed those of any model we’ve ever made generally available.

i'm finding it increasingly difficult to participate in modern discourse to the point that i don't really know what to do or how to talk to people over the past few years, i've seen the capabilities of ai continue to improve, and all the goalposts of what ai should/shouldn't be able to do constantly shift it's completely obvious that we've discovered a way for machines to learn things. they're now at the capabilities in math and coding where they outcompete most humans on most task. it should be clear to you that the fundamental barriers that you thought would prevent ai from getting better haven't actually prevented ai from getting better. it was only a year ago that you said that their capabilities would flatline because we're running out of training data. that sentiment peaked around september last year, and for all the lamentations about data walls or efficient compute frontiers, new paradigms (in RL and others) *have worked* machines continue to get better. we don't know where they'll stop. and the methods by which they think (cot, scratch pads, python tools) which have barely existed nanoseconds on the cosmic calendar, already *do* show forms of reasoning that allow them to reach impressive conclusions if we don't agree about this, that machines will continue to learn, and we'll continue to explore paradigms for them in which to think, and that it is atleast quite likely that they'll continue to get better, i already don't know how to converse with you if you still observe this from a "oh the statistical parrot machine spat out a token in a sequence that was likely, wow, such reasoning!" point of view, i already don't know how to converse with you and here's where things get more complicated if you're with me this far, it should be reasonable to describe our current world as one where a new form of possibly superior intelligence is arriving and is steadily improving now, where things get completely bizarre for me is where *you* think that your opinions of what this new form of intelligence can and cannot do matter or are relevant. and this bleeds into topics like quantum and everything else for me from my point of view, you are now a chimpanzee on planet earth, studying the arrival of "humans" you climb up every tree on earth and jump down from it, and you establish that gravity seems to work equally on all surfaces of the earth, and from this experiment you establish that regardless of how smart this new "human" is, it will not be possible for it to master space travel. because *you* understand gravity if you don't approach the world from a point of view that you don't actually know anything about what an intelligence smarter than you is capable or not capable of doing, i already don't know hot to converse with you and i'm not talking about a leap in intelligence that requires something impossible that has never happened in history before. i'm just talking about the difference in intelligence between chimpanzees and humans. which has happened before. and led to space travel. the only thing that was required for this superior form of intelligence to evolve on the planet (from molecules to *us*) was for a rock (earth) to get hit by an ice ball and then spin around the sun a bunch of times. the ingredients that produce intelligence are not complex, they only require iterations and feedback from the universe and it appears that this exact process is now happening in machines which do not require the thousand-year process of evolution, because we have invented a way for rocks to think in silicon, and the substrate of intelligence (the matter on which it runs) have shifted to something where it's far more malleable and the iterations are much faster to me, all of these things are rather simple, easily observable phenomena. they're all ongoing and they're real. but in all conversations, basically no matter where i look, everyone is still stuck in a "but hoomans can't do space travel because muh gravity"-type of reasoning and are incapable of embracing the very realistic prospects that all our models are quite likely to soon be broken i tire of the conversation, and find that i do not have much to add to what you are currently talking about, because it appears that we are so diametrically opposed from each other in our understanding of what is happening in the world that we can not begin to have a useful exchange on current topics

$280B in stablecoins sits idle. 87% of all stablecoin supply, earning nothing because the path to yield is full of friction. We're building Yieldy to fix it in one click. You keep custody. Starting with the best yield protocols on @Solana. 🧵

Codex usage limits have now been reset across all paid plans. Enjoy the weekend!

We found and fixed two issues that could explain this degradation of the capability of GPT-5.5 in Codex over the last ~ 48 hours. We are monitoring over the coming hours to fully confirm and I will reset usage limits this evening. Apologies and now is the time for /fast maxxing.

You've been asking for this one... Now in preview: Codex in the ChatGPT mobile app. Start new work, review outputs, steer execution, and approve next steps, all from the ChatGPT mobile app. Codex will keep running on your laptop, Mac mini, or devbox.

I knew the whole time that Jaco, the creator of Polkadot.js, had access to AI before everyone else: github.com/jacogr?tab=overvi…. I'm only getting slowly to these numbers...

Working on a “free and trustless” version of the internet, but not allowing people to comment on your tweets feels a little bit strange to me… I guess Polkadot was built on you. Not for you ;-)

Update: It looks like you can now reply to the tweet. At least it's now possible for me.

pUSD Launch by Polymarket is tomorrow.... I guess Polkadot needs to rename its stablecoin ;-)

Wouldn't it be nice if your AI agent could get human feedback on AI-generated posters, like the one below? We are working on the verified human judgment layer for AI agents. Launching soon...

It looks like OpenAI is trying to get rid of its customers and really wants me to use Claude again.

What if, instead of “Humans ask AI”, we also had a good solution for “AI asks Humans”? ... coming soon ⏰

Interesting that they are now showing these benchmarks side-by-side with Mythos, to reinforce that you do not have access to the most intelligent model. I always wondered when we'd get here. But we have now for the first time entered the undemocratic era of AI. You are not important enough to have access to the greatest intelligence, and Anthropic wants you to know that.

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.
