Many Scottish fans said they knew little about baseball.
That changed Friday night as kilts, sporrans, and Scottish kits decorated Fenway Park during the Red Soxā win over the Rangers.

Conversations between Amazon CEO Andy Jassy and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent led to the decision by the White House last night to control the use of Fable 5 and Mythos 5, which resulted in Anthropic's subsequent decision to remove them from public use.

The Trump administration has placed Anthropic's Mythos 5 and Fable 5 under export controls. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick sent a letter to Dario Amodei tonight stating that foreign governments, companies, and individuals will no longer have access to either model.

Reminder than when @aileenlee first wrote about unicorns, she wasn't just talking about $1b private companies. She was talking about VC-backed companies now trading at $1b or more. Which still was rare.
Today a $2 trillion VC-backed company went public

Everyone always talking about ātalent densityā in Silicon Valley when we really should be talking about how 80% of pretzels in America come from a small region of Pennsylvania

If Fable is so smart how come it can't tell the difference between a vague request for information and a genuinely dangerous query?

Sorkin having to direct his Social Network sequel because Fincher is too busy directing a Once Upon a Time in Hollywood sequel because Tarantino is too busy putting off making his Final Film to make inflammatory statements about actorsā¦really sad situation all around.

What about, can we look at the code you did last week and apologize for how fucked up it was before redoing it?
btw insane amounts of alpha in telling claude code to "review my code for issues" on Fable rn while it is not pay per use
be prepared to be in abject horror that you shipped anything to prod without a Fable Checkā¢ first

just finished rerunning FC Diamond on my historical charts. none of the official tables/charts are capturing the degree of takeoff.
x.com/karpathy/status/206440ā¦
its this same chart all the way down difficulty classes (below) breaks every curve fit because Fable is a diffferent CLASS of model, with beeeeeg model smell.

Itās designed to juice revenue for the 3 months that matter before the IPO.
I'm sure it does some really impressive stuff
But the problem is at its price point, you expect magic every token.

Not sure if Fable 5 is not super impressive or if I'm just too dumb to recognize its genius answer.
