This is a super exciting release - Claude Fable 5 is the same underlying model as Mythos but with added safeguards. The benchmarks are great and it's SOTA on everything by a margin but I'll add that *qualitatively* also, this is a major-version-bump-deserving step change forward (imo of the same order as Claude 4.5 was in November), peaking especially for long problem-solving sessions on very difficult problems. You can give it a lot more ambitious tasks than what you're used to, the model "gets it" and it will just go, and it's never felt this tempting to stop looking at the code at all (but don't do this in prod!). The model still has quirks that people will run into and the safeguards are configured to be a little too trigger happy for launch, which can hopefully be tuned over time. I feel a lot of things changing as working software increasingly comes out on a tap. The Jevon's paradox kicks in and I feel my own demand for software growing substantially. You can ask for anything - explainers, visualizers, dashboards, bespoke single-use apps (e.g. a full wandb that is hyper-specific just for your project), you can 10X your test suite, auto-optimize code, run giant research projects with custom HTML for the results, anything! "Free your mind" (Matrix ref). Really looking forward to all the things people build!

Introducing Claude Opus 4.8: it builds on Opus 4.7 with sharper judgment, more honesty about its own progress, and the ability to work independently for longer than its predecessors. Available today at the same price.

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.

I am excited to announce that I have joined BNB Chain as the Executive Director of Growth. In 2021, I joined the crypto industry when blockchains were congested. It was a time when a single transaction could cost thousands in USD value. I had the extreme pleasure of contributing to the go-to-market of one of the most successful scaling solutions of Ethereum. Fast forward to 2025, there are over 150 L2s, and many more L1s with magnitudes higher throughput than Ethereum. Yet, 99% of blockchain ecosystems launched in the past 24 months fail to bootstrap users or developers. The crypto industry is facing a new challenge – the challenge of discovery. Today, less than 10% of assets on-chain are activated. The truth is that crypto products struggle to reach retail users, and retail users often face challenges with liquidity discovery. How BNB Chain is solving the discovery problem better than others: Mass user base: With over 695M unique addresses and 2M daily active users, BNB Chain is the ideal distribution channel for innovations to reach mass adoption. Optimized for liquidity discovery: The BNB Chain ecosystem has had 619 BEPs and 20 hard forks in the past 6 years to minimize the cost of discovery: reducing latency by 24x, increasing throughput by 40x, and reducing fees by 300x. Developer support: This is where I am most excited. In this role, I will be focusing on creating programs and platforms to onboard early-stage projects and global talent to the BNB ecosystem, providing them with access to resources and the mass user base of the BNB Chain ecosystem. Drop me a DM if you are 1) interested in building on BNB Chain, 2) looking for job opportunities at BNB Chain Foundation, or BNB Chain ecosystem in general ✉️ Nuff talk today. We don’t talk the talk, we Build N Build 💛 @BNBCHAIN @heyibinance @cz_binance
