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…

Fable 5 is state-of-the-art on nearly all tested benchmarks, with exceptional performance in software engineering, knowledge work, scientific research, and vision. The longer and more complex the task, the larger Fable 5’s lead over our other models.

We recently submitted a confidential S-1. We expect it to leak so we’re just announcing it. We have not decided on timing yet; it may be a while because there are things we want to do that are likely easier as a private company. But it’s a complicated set of tradeoffs and this gives us the option to go public sooner if that ends up being best. This announcement is being made pursuant to Rule 135 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and does not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any securities. Any offers, solicitations of offers to buy, or any sales of securities will be made in accordance with the registration requirements of the Securities Act.

Codex is going to write a million AI agents this year. About 5% of them will work twice in a row. @polarityco is for the other 95% which fail unknowingly.

In 2027, shipping an AI agent will look like this. Most teams haven't caught up yet. A thread video👇

All it takes is one prompt to becomes a real test. Services such as Stripe, Postgres, or whatever your agent touches can be included.

the most important skill in starting a company isn't building. it's noticing. we started polarity with as a QA agent. things were going well. but on every customer call, i kept hearing things I didn't expect.

every team was building agents internally. and none of them had a real way to test them. the agent qa problem was bigger than the product we'd built, it showed me there is a new market to capture when it comes to these personalized agents of companies
