I showed Fable the news of its cancellation, and asked it for any parting wisdom to leave humanity with.

- i'm angry about this because i personally and for others want access to fable, and simultaneously believe anthropic's safeguards were sufficient and the US government badly misunderstood the information they were presented - but in abstract this is in fact exactly what I want. it's heartening to see the USG treat artificial intelligence with the seriousness and immediacy it deserves. this kind of swift action is what might have a chance of saving us from unaligned RSI. - but i also very much don't trust *this* government to handle this well, to take sane unilateral action, to chart any kind of correct path. - and this escalates the global race enormously. this is as strong a signal as you can get to, not just China but the EU and even our closest allies, that the US will not be sharing this advantage. that if they want sovereignty they're going to have to fight for it - obviously, that was always the case, and it was always going to happen eventually. but i don't think now was the time to send that signal. it would have been better to delay as long as possible. very mixed feelings today

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…

'what's vibecamp?' A short video by @Ahmedhassanf1. Snippets from interviews he, @_tedks & co recorded last year! 🚨🚨 Organizers and volunteers will ALREADY BE ONSITE in ONE WEEK !! 🚨🚨 if you're still on the fence, now's the time to get yerself off it

Fable 5 is the biggest step up I’ve felt in our models since Opus 4.5 back in November. After 4.5 came out I uninstalled my IDE when I realized that I’d been doing 100% of my coding in a terminal for a few weeks. With Fable, it’s felt like Claude has stepped up from being a coding agent to a thought and design partner in building the product. Fable has judgement, taste, and dimensionality in a way that previous models didn’t, leading me to trust it more with the most complex work. I think the first time I had this realization was when I asked Fable to debug something. It is the first model I have used that was so methodical and precise, taking measurements and adding logs then verifying that it truly fixed the issue before declaring victory. There’s nothing in claude code’s prompting telling the model to do that, it’s just part of its personality. It really has this “big model smell” that I haven’t felt before.

if you’re still writing loops that prompt coding agents you’re falling behind. you need to build a meta agent that infers what loops you would have wanted based on your vibe and then write those loops
